‘Worthless’ gifts get the good girls

New Scientist Breaking News - ‘Worthless’ gifts get the good girls
Men who spend big money wining and dining their dates are not frittering away hard-earned cash. According to a pair of UK researchers, they are merely employing the best strategy for getting the girl without being taken for granted.

Using mathematical modelling, Peter Sozou and Robert Seymour at University College London, UK, found that wooing girls with costly, but essentially worthless gifts %u2013 such as theatre tickets or expensive dinners out %u2013 is a winning courtship strategy for both sexes.

Females can assess how serious or committed a male plans to be and males can ensure they are not just seducing ‘gold-diggers’ %u2013 girls who take valuable presents with no intention of accepting subsequent dates.
