Oh I get it. Never thought about it that way. This way you could buy an expensive men's watch for her, then when she complains about it not being a women's watch you can hastily take it back and wear it yourself. Actually, nevermind....that won't get you laid. And it doesn't make sense either.

I guess that explains the shortage of nookie during my life! I *hate* buying useless shit! ;-) Luckily my wife does not seem to be overly concerned but this particular aspect of my personality....

And here I thought our Alien Masters had installed a genetic instinct in our forebears to gather (or get) rare tradeable commodities.

The real question is are we out from under their yolk, and this behaviour just a throwback to a lost system of extraterrestrial servitude? Or was the whole mechanism meant to produce babies in exchange for diamonds, silver, gold and platinum?

I think Limp Bizkit said it best:

"I did it all for the nookie
C'mon
The nookie
C'mon
So you can take that cookie"

With little inspection, you will, indeed, find that the cookie Mr. Durst is referring to, is in fact objects of material value. Supreme Galactic Confederacy dictator Xenu would be proud.

I must be the complete oddball (oh yeah, I am), but shit like that doesn't make me wet. LOL

"Because women make disproportionately greater parental investment in children than men do, their primary task is to discriminate between “dads” and “cads” among male suitors."
As a father who puts equal time into his children, maybe it explains why my wife in fact does not want diamonds or other such frivolties.
