Men are hardwired after eons of evolution to overspend, a new study suggests. "Men in the ancestral environment were valued if they were good providers," Kruger said. "Now we have this new consumer culture, so basically we show our potential through the consumer goods that we purchase, rather than being a good hunter or providing protection."

Idiots with money seem to be all over, I'm sure with some provocative convincing you could charm one into buying you a computer.
