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 genes [that are more in line with natural sexual desires] 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 genes [that are more in line with natural sexual desires] for offspring”.<ref>http://pillse.bol.ucla.edu/Publications/Pillsworth&Haselton_ARSR.pdf</ref> | ||
Heterosexual women's natural sexual proclivities are a catch-22. Women are currently dramatically more attracted to men in relationships than single men.<ref>http://digital.library.okstate.edu/etd/umi-okstate-2649.pdf</ref> The woman also naturally highly prefers a pre-selected partner (moreso than men), but selected men are by definition taken. | Heterosexual women's natural sexual proclivities are a catch-22. Women are currently dramatically more attracted to men in relationships than single men.<ref>http://digital.library.okstate.edu/etd/umi-okstate-2649.pdf</ref> The woman also naturally highly prefers a pre-selected partner (moreso than men), but selected men are by definition taken. The female is naturally inclined to spend her pre-child years rejecting these non-selected men. Once she wants to have children, there is also an incentive to keep a non-selected man around. In this situation, she has sex with unnatainable men in her more fertile years and later uses less selected men to raise the child or children of the men she slept with when she is less fertile. In socities which allow for this natural mating desire to realize itself, she is allowed to and then chooses the genes from the selected man and later the parental investment from a more loyal male. | ||
Women have conceived babies from more men who are selected by other women than from men not selected by other women for thousands of years. The men who are selected by other women have historically been and are currently more masculine than men who are not selected by other women. 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>. Even when a less attractive male invests considerably into a partnership, the inclination to cheat to acquire the genes of selected men exists. <ref>https://www.ehbonline.org/article/S1090-5138(05)00093-0/fulltext</ref>. | Women have conceived babies from more men who are selected by other women than from men not selected by other women for thousands of years.
