LOL BenVitale... it was not a comment against math. In fact math can be very sexy but saying "I study math" is just kind of dull, that was all I meant. Now saying you wanted human lab rats... hmmmm mad scientist on Jan 4th, 2010, 3:14am, JiNbOtAk wrote: Why split ? Why not offer to pay for the whole date ? |

| I'm testing theories, hypotheses, preconceived ideas, and I collect data ... I also try to help some of my friends (males and females) in the dating game. I'll come back and post a different scenario.

Here are the key concept for the next scenario: Screening (economics) The dating and flirting that goes on every day is a form of screening, where people use a large variety of cues to avoid undesirable mates. Dating Flirting I'm addressing the following questions to the men ... I also would like to get feedback from the women Usually, a man does not have a problem dating a woman who's making less money. How about if she's making more money than you do? Have you ever dated / had a relationship with a woman whose earning power is superior to yours -- if the income level between the two of you is too wide? Or, would you rather have a relationship with a woman of the same earning power - about the same income level?
