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> | 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 | Women's natural sexual proclivities are a catch-22. She naturally highly prefers a pre-selected man, but selected men are by definition taken. Furthermore, in the absence of welfare for single mothers, there is a benefit to her in aquiring a less selected man when she wants to have children. Today, child-rearing is societally delayed and sexuality is losing societal grip, so women spend their pre-child years rejecting many non-selected men, and then once she wants to have children, 'settles', for a non-selected man. In this situation, she has sex with with many unnatainable men in her early years and later uses less selected men to raise the children of the men she slept with while she was more fertile. In a society which liberates sexuality, she gets the genes from the selected man and the parental investment from a more loyal male.
