The Gift of Love

It seems when a relationship is new, that’s when you’ll receive the most presents. Apparently it all comes down to evolution: men and women give gifts based on their reproductive needs. Men, for example, tend to give gifts for tactical purposes in the earlier part of the relationship because it serves a particular function-to signal generosity, to show they have resources, or to make known their intention for o long-term relationship. Women, on the other hand, tend to give gifts as expressions of love-not just at the beginning of a relationship, but throughout.
