Actually I have thought of that. You like nice gifts cause its in your genetics. A male showering you with gifts is capable of providing for you while you are helpless. Why risk your life so to speak on someone who couldn't even feed you while you were helpless?

Its an anthropological fact that homo sapiens spread from the human birthplace of Africa in tiny groups seeking a better life ( more protein). Much like how America was colonized, by a couple carving out a homestead in the wilderness. These bold pre historic adventurers moved thru the ice ages and thru mountain ranges and deserts in harsh circumstances bearing children along the way. That took a helluva a man and woman tightly bonded to do that.
