→Women rapidly lose interest in sex once in a stable relationship or living with a man

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. | 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. | ||
Paradoxically, women's seemingly inferior ability for long-term pair bonding compared to men, contradicts women's otherwise more [[life history|k-selected]] sexual nature. In particular, women are more choosy in mate choice and [[sex drive|wait longer]] before engaging in sex which is indicative of high parental investment and may be explained by women's higher [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]] and [[Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men|resource dependence]]. However, losing sexual interest in their current mate more quickly is indicative of low long-term parental investment, i.e. more r-selected behavior that would be more adaptive in mild ecologies like the tropicals. A number of potential explanations could be provided for women's faster decline in sexual interest: | |||
* Women's sexuality may be stuck in a more r-selected past because they have been subject to less selective pressure, having had a higher [[reproductive success]] throughout human history. | |||
* 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]]. | |||
* ''Mate switching hypothesis'' by Buss (2017), i.e. that switching is facilitated by a number of behavioral adaptations that allow women to leave poor relationships and get access to potentially better partners, implement exit strategies, and manage challenges confronted in the aftermath. | |||
* Another explanation may be that the higher choosiness in women simply makes them more aware of flaws such that they simply become dissatisfied sooner, which become especially salient with deep intimacy resulting from cohabitation. | |||
* Women may be somewhat adapted to other harem women being around, so the mere cohabitation with their husband may be an [[evolutionary mismatch]]. | |||
* Dissatisfaction, boredom and fickleness are [[neoteny|neotenous]] traits which men select for. | |||
The | The results of this study have since been 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. | ||
, and their maximal reproductive rate is much slower. Women's desire to liberate themselves from their partner is highly incompatible with the demands of modern civilization, and may in fact be an artifact of a past in which low investment, fast life history strategies were more useful, and women may have retained this sexuality more than men as they have overall been subject to less selective pressures, i.e. they had higher [[reproductive success]] due to men's higher [[sex drive]] and lower choosiness. | |||
