Reply to comment by scrollbreak in Narcissistic tendencies moderate the association between testosterone levels and generosity in men by chrisdh79

in general, higher testosterone in response to the opposite sex means men take higher risks, like doing risky tricks and stunts to impress. Think, a bunch of guys in a skate park in front of a group of girls.

I understand your point, however, my point is that there is a selflessness in the above example. Along the same vein, a man will offer to pay just to show off.

Both paying and stunts are in response to how testosterone promotes risk taking.

Transactions, like trying to buy good shares that pay off in value and/or dividends, are risk taking as well. I really don't see evidence there of testosterone definitely leading to selflessness.
