"It was tradition in Ancient Greece for lovers to have to prove their love for each other to the world. This was usually done by having the couple jump off a cliff. [...] Anyway, the man went first, and needless to say, usually suffered a horrible death at the hands of the torrential current or jagged rocks below. Seeing the man, the woman tended to get cold feet [...] Eventually, they came up with an idea — what if they let the women go first? They would very politely and lovingly say, ladies first, leading to the women making that fatal jump first." So in Ancient Greece it was tradition for lovers to commit suicide? I was able to find no sources claiming this, and none are cited. And given that ancient Greek civilization didn't immediately collapse after all couples killed themselves, I'm going to file this under 'baloney'...
