Scientists say it's not chance but choice.
In his recent paper, Mate Choice and Sexual Selection: What Have We Learned Since Darwin, evolutionary scientist and professor Adam Jones from Texas A&M University marvels that Darwin got it right with his 150-year-old theory that mate selection is anything but random chance. Instead, it is based on a practice that is very deliberate and multi-faceted. Darwin's theory has withstood decades of analysis. Read: Attraction Pheromones May Not Exist
"Darwin noticed that birds, especially, seemed to be a bit picky about who they mated with," Jones said in a press release on June 15. "He discovered that … Read More
New research shows it may not be a question of gender. It may come down to this one tiny detail.
The answer as to who, in the romance equation, is pickier when it comes to selecting a mate may come down to a question of who's doing the approaching and who's being approached, regardless of gender, finds a new study from researchers at Northwestern University.
The long-held belief is that women are more selective than men when it comes to mate selection. Why? Because females are programmed to consider the reproductive cost of choosing a partner, in other words, what bearing and raising children with the potential partner would be like.

Not long ago my friend Graham sent me a text message to bail on a pizza and beer outing. "Way too tired," he wrote. "Parenthood is kicking my ass today." Graham and his wife had spent the day at a birthday party with their two-year-old son, and their afternoon was brutal. "I can only imagine," I typed back.

Census data shows that there are lots of single men. Is the tide shifting?
In a 90’s rave music classic, Alice DJ asked, “So you think you’re better off alone?” Good question. Did you know that 33% of men in their 30’s have never been married (compared to 29% of women)? And that some of these men are intentionally single. And that some of these men aren’t swinging playboys and/ or don’t have serious personality flaws.
