In humans, bodyguarding may also play a special role due to the relatively large share of resources that males provide.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#In_hunter-gatherers.2C_men_use_meat_to_obtain_mating_opportunities_and_to_invest_in_mates_and_offspring</ref> A long-term bond lasting at least a few years is hence highly conductive to [[reproductive success]], especially in [[life history|K-selected species]]. For such bonds to be stable, it is required that the male is the most dominant one the woman can attract as otherwise a more dominant male could [[mogging|contest]] that bond. | In humans, bodyguarding may also play a special role due to the relatively large share of resources that males provide.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref><ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#In_hunter-gatherers.2C_men_use_meat_to_obtain_mating_opportunities_and_to_invest_in_mates_and_offspring</ref> A long-term bond lasting at least a few years is hence highly conductive to [[reproductive success]], especially in [[life history|K-selected species]].

Bodyguard hypothesis | Bodyguard hypothesis predicts that women tend to date up, especially when the most dominant males engage in [[polygyny]] and hence hoard a substantial fraction of the females as it is the case in the human species. | ||
Some suggested that women's choice does not matter much, and women rather get chosen by contest competition among males. Counter-evidence to this is e.g. that career women often refuse to date down and rather remain single if they cannot find a more socially dominant partner (see [[hypergamy]]). Many women also experience rape fantasies, which points to a [[Female subordination and submission|desire to be dominated]]. Both of these aspects point to a preference for a partner that is at least as dominant as the woman herself. Women also more often than men report social status as an important mate preference,{{citation needed}} and they prefer men who have sex with other women,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_are_more_attracted_to_men_who_are_already_in_relationships_than_single_men</ref> i.e. men which have already won prior contest competitions. | Some suggested that women's choice does not matter much, and women rather get chosen by contest competition among males.
