| Foxes and Doves evolved to embody different human mating strategies, which is why the questions below concern mating and dating. You’ve got a husband you love very much. He dies in his 50s. Would you look for another man? |
|
| Yes, I would. It would take some time to get over my loss, but eventually I would want to be with another man. | No, I wouldn’t. What’s the point in trying? He was my One Man, the love of my life. He could never be replaced. |
| How do you feel about dating? The prospect of going out with different men? | |
| It can be pleasant. I have enjoyed going out on dates with different boys/men. I’ve liked meeting them, and they’ve liked meeting me. | It’s mostly a chore. I’ve never been into dating different boys/men. I just wanted to find the right man for me, without all the hassle. |
| Assuming you’re single, how would you flirt with a man you found attractive? | |
| I’d invite his interest. I’d give him a smile, flip my hair, tilt my head. I might even touch him on the shoulder or arm. | I’d gauge his interest. I’d make eye contact, smile, then look away. Then I’d wait to see if he showed interest in me. |
| Where would you rather meet a man? | |
| I’d rather meet him at a square dance. I’d get a chance to meet and talk with a dozen or so men, and find out up close which one I was really drawn to. | I’d rather meet him at the library. I’d see a special man, focus on him and him alone, and find out from across the room if I felt any connection to him. |
