Yes it has. As a young redblooded man, I'd regard every woman as a potential mate with thoughts appropriate to that goal. Now that I have teen daughters, I view young women very different. Especially if the young women are sexy-looking, it raises my hackles and rather than triggering a "mate with her" response, it triggers a "protect her" response. I immediately regard any young males in the vicinity with suspicion, as I know what areas of their brains are lighting up.
