This is very interesting. The authors conflict reduction of this increased reproductive success may be sufficient, but I can see multiple pathways where women preferring more submissive men can be adaptive in some cases. There is the "helper in the nest" hypothesis that essentially states that, in contexts where women are financially/resource independent from men (as in some strongly abundant ecologies and modern welfare states) that they may accrue RS benefits for selecting for empathetic, submissive, and socially minded men. Basically "soyboys" or highly effeminate men. | This is very interesting.

There is some evidence that women rate facially effeminate men as more attractive, at least in certain contexts (detailed in the facial masculinity article I linked above) and there is evidence that effeminacy in men is linked to greater sociosexuality (so more promiscuous), whilst masculinity in women is linked to the same:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886919305070 | There is some evidence that women rate facially effeminate men as more attractive, at least in certain contexts (detailed in the facial masculinity article I linked above) and there is evidence that effeminacy in men is linked to greater sociosexuality (so more promiscuous), whilst masculinity in women is linked to the same:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886919305070 | ||

In regards to LH, well there seems to be evidence that a faster life history is associated with greater polygyny (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ssqu.12030). | In regards to LH, well there seems to be evidence that a faster life history is associated with greater polygyny (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ssqu.12030). | ||
This would likely hold true to societies without formalized polygyny and would be reflected in serial monogamy, mating skew, etc. LHS would predict that fast LH women would care more about rapid access to resources and perhaps greater genetic diversity and physical attractiveness in their potential mates. There is evidence for assortative mating in LHS (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/147470490800600206) also, so they also tend to select those with short-term strategies that mirror their own, which would be generally expected to be associated with lower resource holding potential | This would likely hold true to societies without formalized polygyny and would be reflected in serial monogamy, mating skew, etc. LHS would predict that fast LH women would care more about rapid access to resources and perhaps greater genetic diversity and physical attractiveness in their potential mates.
