Aunt Carole is a chimp who dispenses advice to the lovelorn. In this one, she covers the ground on dating advice. Pretty funny stuff if you ask me.

wrote :
Male chimps sometimes give meat or fruit to females they wish to mate with, known as "provisioning". So if you see an opportunity to spontaneously provision your date, do so, whether it's an ice cream, candyfloss or a bag of nuts.
wrote :
Male baboons who want sex offer themselves as babysitters/protectors to the infants of females they are attracted to. You could try something similar, for example if you have nieces or nephews casually let photos of them fall out of your wallet, communicating that you are a male who is good fatherhood material.
wrote :
Females are usually highly observant so you don't need to be ostentatious about your resources. But it is important to be generous with your time, your humour and your money – be someone with lots to give who enjoys sharing. So if you see a dog while in the company of your date make sure you pat it, if you see birds that can be fed, buy a bun and feed them, if there's a charity box handy shove money in it. Females have a preference for spontaneous altruism in males.
And various other tidbits of wisdom in the article link. Valentine's Day dating tips | Carole Jahme, evolutionary agony aunt | Science | guardian.co.uk

Plus many other columns on everything from nice guys to bad boys!

So if I take a gal out for a nice steak dinner, and pay for the whole thing - without a coupon, and show her pictures of all my nieces and nephews, there's a good chance of getting laid?

I'm not going to sleep with anyone for anything less than a banana split with extra whipped cream.

"Extra" is a key word: very few males can afford this sort of over-the-top "provisions"
