>Your comments reek of pseudosciency pop evolutionary biology bullshit. Human behavior is way more complicated than you would hope.
It's not "pop" shit. It's from a field called evolutionary psychology. A very real field in academia.
By the nature of what's being studied evolutionary psychology is harder to statistically quantify things as they do in the hard science like physics and chemistry. What they do is they study commonalities between multiple cultures and come up with qualitative conclusions based off of the most likely inductive and logical explanation for those observed commonalities. This is quite common in the soft social sciences.
Tribute to women and other mating displays from males... aka "romance" is across the board found in many divergent cultures. It is even found in animals.
In animals generally the female species is the one being courted or romanced. This occurs because the female is the one that carries the child so she is the "gatekeeper".
It is real and there are authoritative sources that illustrate what I say. There are many sources where you can read about this stuff.

>Also diamonds are not rare.
Rare enough such that diamonds can fill the role of a tribute object. Yes advertising does play a part but if diamonds were so abundant that they're only 10 bucks a pop women wouldn't care for one at all. Of course with the advent of synthetic diamonds the market value of diamonds is now largely artificial.
All of this, however, does not detract from my point. If it's.not diamonds, it'd be something else.
