Yes. So the prior part of this statement does come down to an age old ritual of courtship/gamesmanship then. 

Well, where it has evolved to. Certainly not organically, but definitely not ALL nurtured - so to speak. 

Some with talent, wrote symphonic orchestras. Some with money paid sculptors to Chisle a gift and presented gowns, perfumes. 

Then that changed with industrialization but the end goal of the behaviour was the same. Perhaps buy flowers, chivalry, provide for a family. 

Now we're zapping on a P2P network on opposite sides of a medium from across the world.
