From Rosenburg and Tunney on sexual selection in humans:
[font=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans L, Arial, Liberation Sans, sans-serif]It's legit becasue men subconsciously do things that increase their chances with women. They take risks when attractive women are around, they challenge other males for dominance and they dress up when hitting a club. Flaunting vocabulary and through extension intelligence is just another trait men know innately to be attractive. [/font]
[font=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans L, Arial, Liberation Sans, sans-serif]Ever notice how all guys good with women have great game which is mostly good language skills?[/font]
[font=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans L, Arial, Liberation Sans, sans-serif]Just more proof being awkward/stupid around women is a sexual death sentence. :lol: [/font]
[font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', Arial, 'Liberation Sans', sans-serif]Some hypotheses about the evolution of the human brain argue that it is a sexually selected trait, as it would not confer enough fitness in itself relative to its high maintenance costs (a quarter to a fifth of the energy and oxygen consumed by a human)[/font][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', Arial, 'Liberation Sans', sans-serif] Related to this is vocabulary, where humans, on average, know far more words than are necessary for communication. Miller (2000) has proposed that this apparent redundancy is due to individuals using vocabulary to demonstrate their intelligence, and consequently their "fitness", to potential mates. This has been tested experimentally and it appears that males do make greater use of lower frequency (more unusual) words when in a romantic mindset compared to a non-romantic mindset, meaning that vocabulary is likely to be used as a sexual display.[/font]
