Non-paternity rates are sometimes high in hunter-gatherers though and the men in such societies also often do not invest much in their offspring beyond childhood.<ref>https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0caa/60bcadd5768c6619ec01dbe1f6d77a93ffbc.pdf</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_at_Dawn</ref> | Non-paternity rates are sometimes high in hunter-gatherers though and the men in such societies also often do not invest much in their offspring beyond childhood.<ref>https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0caa/60bcadd5768c6619ec01dbe1f6d77a93ffbc.pdf</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_at_Dawn</ref> | ||
One can also regard beta tax payers as "virtual provider mates", paying for single mothers who, presumably, often copulated with men way above their league and thus ended up being [[pump and dump|pumped and dumped]], so there is some truth to dual mating. | One can also regard beta tax payers as "virtual provider mates", paying for single mothers who, presumably, often copulated with men way above their league and thus ended up being [[pump and dump|pumped and dumped]], so there is some truth to dual mating. | ||
=== Matching hypothesis === | |||
The matching hypothesis states that people naturally prefer potential partners who are about as attractive as themselves. However, the Walster's famous computer dating study suggested otherwise, namely that only the looks of the potential partner predicts romantic interest, not how similar they are in looks.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/8jqzp5/explaining_looksmatchism_among_the_average_most/</ref> Data from online dating suggests that men and women alike aim a bit higher than their own desirability, with few aiming excessively high.<ref>https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/advances/4/8/eaap9815.full.pdf</ref> This may imply that without enforced monogamy, both men and women will lack pressure to settle for the "art of the possible," thus people remain single. This may be evidence of [[Fisherian runaway|exaggerated preferences]] for ornament adversely affecting fitness. | |||
