What Does this Mean?

I will be taking opinionated editorials from newspapers, major and local, and analyzing them from the viewpoint of a 19 year old female college student, which will come easily to me seeing as how I fit into that category. Like most wannabe scholars of today, I work my a** off to get a decent education while simultaneously laboring the days away for a hopefully decent paycheck, and I worry about more than just what outfit I'll be wearing to class today(Although that ranks high on my list). I have opinions on, well....everything, and I have a need to express aforementioned opinions. Enjoy! :]

Declining Mating Standards

 
 
This article suggests that a female's choice in a mate is directly related with how many resources she can gain from her parents.  In a study done by biologist Franjo Weissing and social psychologist Bram Buunk, they concluded that PARENTS have a lot more influence in mate selection that we may realize. 
 
 
A girl who's partner cannot provide as well as parents may like will receive more help(such as money, recourses, or support) from her parents than a daughter marrying someone who can provide better.  This viewpoint suggests that young females choosing a mate are more likely to pick someone who CANNOT provide  for them, as to gain resources from he parents.
