Contrary to common dating advice emphasizing soul matching and deep intimacy, the result suggests that, on average, high degree of familiarity is detrimental to relationship stability because the woman gets bored, possibly due to the man opening up, revealing his flaws which is a [[dominance hierarchy|low status]] signal.
Contrary to common dating advice emphasizing soul matching and deep intimacy, the result suggests that, on average, a high degree of familiarity is actually ''detrimental'' to relationship stability because the woman gets bored, possibly due to the man opening up, revealing his flaws which is a [[dominance hierarchy|low status]] signal.


An explanation for women's quicker decline in sexual interest may be that women desire testing other men for being potentially more dominant than their current partner so as to be always attached to the most dominant man at all times ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]. See also ''mate switching hypothesis'' by Buss (2017). Another explanation may be that the higher choosiness in women simply makes them more aware of flaws such that they simply become dissatisfied sooner. Dissatisfaction, boredom and fickleness are also [[neoteny|neotenous]] traits.

The results of this study were replicated by two longitudinal studies performed by McNulty et.al (2019). They found that controlling for the effects of childbirth, post-natal depression and stress, the length of the marriage was still a predictor of lower female [[libido]], but not male libido, which remained constant.
