===4. [[Strategic pluralism|The Dualistic Mating Strategy]]<br />===

One particular UCLA study states that, “a great deal of the evidence indicates two overlapping suites of psychological adaptations in women: those for securing [[long-term relationship|long-term]], cooperative social partnerships for rearing children and those for pursuing a [[strategic pluralism|dual-mating strategy]] in which women secure a social partner and engage in selective sexual affairs to gain access to good genes for offspring”.<ref>http://pillse.bol.ucla.edu/Publications/Pillsworth&Haselton_ARSR.pdf</ref>

Women are placed into a difficult situation because of the inherent catch-22 to human mating. She must select good genes to pass onto her kids. But a suitor who possesses quality genes may have many female suitors, and would be unlikely to commit resources to her, even if he selects one to marry eventually. There is a benefit to acquiring the good genes from a genetically superior male, and then fooling another male who is more likely to provide to raise these children. In this situation, she gets the best of both worlds, the genes from the good man and the parental investment from a more loyal male. As a result, Women prefer masculine men during ovulation<ref>https://www.livescience.com/8779-fertile-women-manly-men.html</ref>.  Fertile women are more likely to choose a masculine man <ref>https://www.livescience.com/8779-fertile-women-manly-men.html</ref>.If a man is in a relationship, he is perceived to be more attractive <ref>http://digital.library.okstate.edu/etd/umi-okstate-2649.pdf</ref>. Even when a less attractive male invests considerably into a partnership, the inclination to cheat to acquire better genes exists. <ref>https://www.ehbonline.org/article/S1090-5138(05)00093-0/fulltext</ref>.
