'''Bateman's Principle''' is a principle in evolutionary biology which states that there is greater variance (or inequality) in reproductive success among men than there is among women. Female [[hypergamy]] exaggerates this and makes it worse. This is partially why men complain more than women do about access to sexual intimacy. Studies have shown that Bateman's Priniciple applies to modern humans as well. | '''Bateman's Principle''' is a principle in evolutionary biology which states that there is greater variance (or inequality) in reproductive success among men than there is among women.
