I wonder why women did not follow this common sense/utility movement? They still trowel on the facepaint and Bozo lipstick, spend hours on their stupid overly elaborate hairdo's, and walk around in public wearing ridiculous adornments. What sort of self respecting creature walks around in high heels?

In drive thru open air zoos the monkeys will try to steal anything shiny off your car, and make a little pile. They love shiny trinkets.

But we're too evolved for such foolish indulgences.

Who knows man. It is funny though that about every decade or so the big cosmetics companies try to market to men. like clockwork you will see news articles proclaiming that make up isn't just for women anymore, but its always a lie. Men are like I ain't putting that gunk on my face forget it.

Men are primarily attracted visually. Women aren't. They are primarily attracted to high status and dominant personality and wealth, with looks being fourth or fifth on the list. Thus the bright plumage of females and the dull plumage of males in our species. In some species like peafowl it's the other way around.
