I'm not sure about the mating display thing but you probably started learning the piano at age 6 because your parents thought it was a good idea.

In this case, very strongly my idea. No-one really knows why we play music - even musicians don't know. But I think it's about a form of expression, much like for many people they are compelled to enter conversation at least part of the day or week. I've yet to read a scientific or psychological explanation that fits but I have some pet theories that sound nice (that I wouldn't bet the bank on though).

A lot of musicians I know, would not hesitate to mention "the opposite sex" as a major reason.
