Women are naturally more selective than men, and rate partners differently than men.
If I remember correctly, the preference of the average rated woman is to go for the top 20% or so of men.
This causes those top 20% of men to have many partners, while the rest is left with below average prospects in terms of attractiveness.
- smeej 3y agoEvolution selects for this. For the entirety of human evolution, it has been vastly more costly for women to reproduce than men (I don't even want to try to calculate how many children a man could produce in the 9 months it takes a woman to gestate one), so evolution rewards us for being as selective as we can get away with. Maybe the grass is always greener, but having to lower your standards to some slightly less attractive women for your genes to propagate doesn't sound too bad compared to having to be the one to grow a human in my abdomen.
- 29athrowaway 3y agoThe 9 months part is just the beginning, by the way.
- smeej 3y agoYeah, but until that part is over, nobody else can do it.
