Amusing article about why men collect things

[blindtiger]

Amusing article about how collecting expensive things is related to male attractiveness. Take from it what you will. Those of you who collect Victory need not be offended.

Article is here.

So how can a would-be son-in-law prove that he is would be a good provider? Peacocks prove their reproductive fitness by growing a spectacularly beautiful – but otherwise useless – tail. Dr. Apostolou argues that a man hoping to mate should create the human equivalent of a peacock tail: a collection. Accumulating material goods shows he can obtain resources. Findings goods that are beautiful and hard to obtain shows he is capable of putting an effort into acquiring things for his spouse.

Speak for yourself. When I started collecting hockey cards, I had a girlfriend. After two years, my collection was super impressive, and I got married. That's not a coincidence, clearly she's blown away by how awesome my collection is and wanted a part of it.:giggity:

This made me laugh, and then it got me thinking...

I currently have 4 kids with another one on the way. Is this because of my collecting habits?

If chicks were into guys who collected hockey cards, I might be able to pick up a couple of girls at the local bar by bringing in my high-end Cup cards. It would put a whole new spin on two girls, one cup.
