For homo sapiens women make the mating decisions. Unless she immediately judges you as a good genetic fit, she will feel you're stalking her and call the police or something. (Yes, it's mostly genetics. Women have a gut feel for genetic fitness in mates.)

Yes they do, but

- having fun,

- needs,

- desire to gratify received interest,

- desire to return the favor of raising ones attractiveness,

- desire to reward a diverse range of behaviors (some hard-coded into genes as well!)

CAN & often will override anything "fitness", and much more often than not, not only temporary!

If this is what it all boils down to then we should just skip all the bullshit and go straight to DNA sequencing and checking for autosomal recessive diseases and the possibility of genetic diseases for a given DNA pair.

sounds like Elisabeth Holmes pivot strategy but she didn't get to ^^
