But like others pointed out it's not really a smoking gun in any sense. @ siduri

That said, I should probably go and mate with my sister's old baby blanket. I think it’s just a preference thing. That said, I should probably go and mate with my sister’s old baby blanket.

Males like it rotten? That sounds a little silly. What, so only females like ripe fruit? Males like it rotten? That sounds a little silly.

That would go for both sexes. As for fruits.. only a fraction of fruits are red. Plenty are yellow, green, orange, blue, purple.. I mean, come on. This whole thing sounds like someone's random theory, hardly "cracking a mystery." Healthy, reddish faces? That would go for both sexes. As for fruits.. only a fraction of fruits are red.

Hardly a "cracked" "mystery". Any idiot can take anything about humans and say "evolution may have..." about it. Every statement in that article is prefaced with the qualifier “may have”.

Don't like red all that much either. Pink actually makes me feel kind of disgusting, which is apparently the opposite effect it's supposed to have on a girl. Guess I'll always be stuck with the unripe fruit and unhealthy mates. :P Nah, I hate pink as well. Don’t like red all that much either.

The association of blue with boys and pink with girls is only about fifty years old. This site has some links to articles about this. http://www.songdog.net/blog/archives/000994.html I’m a little bit skeptical about this.
