> But betting on a rich mate is a pretty good bet that teens make.

I would be interested to hear how you reason to that conclusion. I ask because there are a number of ways where my experience differs (and granted this comes from going to USC in Los Angeles for my BS degree, and that school has a reputation for having a lot of 'rich teens') My experience there was that the more money a person had the less 'functional' they seemed to be. At the time I attributed it to their having so many things done for them that they didn't have to develop the skills to do things on their own. But it wasn't a scientific study at all, just the experience of growing up with a cohort of similarly aged people over 5 years.

Of course it might depend on the definition of fitness. It was certainly true that the wealthier teens had more opportunities to create offspring than I did :-) By the measure of their gene pool was more likely to continue I could agree.
