Answer to Question 1

It may partly be the consequence of long-ago evolutionary pressures and partly a response to situational demands. Although the pattern of behavior may be coded in every man's makeup, it is likely to appear among men whose present situations predict reproductive failure, e.g., unmarried and unemployed males.
