'''Mate guarding''' is behavior that men perform to protect their mate from sexual advances by other men and also to prevent them from falling in love with more [[dominance hierarchy|dominant]] men. Women also mate-guard, but to lesser extent. In one survey, 53% of women, but only 13% of men would forgive their partner's infidelity.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Half_of_women_in_relationships_report_maintaining_a_.27back-up.27_partner_in_their_social_circle</ref>
