Survival of the smartest
BlindEye made an interesting social observation on his blog:
« When in a restaurant, I now take a quick look around to see who has their back to the wall. Invariably, it’s the women who have their back to the wall. I have no idea why this is. According to one theory, most humans prefer to eat with their back to the wall because they are vulnerable to attack when they are eating. With your back to the wall, no one can sneak up on you. »
I have another theory. Women have figured out that if their back is to the wall, then their date is facing the wall. That means the boy doesn’t get to check out the waitresses and all the other hot chicks in the place. There’s nothing worse and more insulting than talking to a man who has a bad case of the wandering eye.
Evolution, dear. It’s all about evolution. And survival of the smartest.
