Best way to pursue a woman, dining
(Agencies)
Updated: 2005-07-29 09:08 Forget expensive presents or
costly jewelry. Wining and dining is the best way for men to woo women, British
scientists said Tuesday.
 Researchers at Imperial College London developed a mathematical formula
and modeled courtship as a sequential game to find the best way to impress the
ladies.
Their results show that offering an expensive present signals the man's
serious intentions but he must be wary of being exploited by gold-diggers who
will dump him after receiving the gift.
"Guys are less likely to offer expensive gifts to females they don't have a
long-term interest in. And girls won't be impressed with cheap gifts. By
offering expensive but worthless gifts, such as dinner and theater trips, the
male pays no cost if the invitation isn't accepted," said Dr Peter Sozou,
of University College London.
If women are not interested they are unlikely to accept the invitation,
according to the research published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal
Society of London B.
The researchers said giving gifts was a feature of courtship in humans and
other species to impress females.
Physical attraction is an important element but offering gifts also
helps.
