You have just described the academic paper "Women's Mating Strategies" by Elizabeth Cashdan, Evolutionary Anthropology 1997.

  Halfway through the paper. Recent research suggests that the difficulty of having it both ways is not always insurmountable. Women may try to get investment from one man while mating with another who is desirable in different respects. Baker and Bellis have found that when married women have affairs, the matings with the “extra-pair” male occur disproportionately during the woman’s fertile period. This finding suggests that one goal of short-term matings for women is to secure “good genes” from another mate, and that women may use deception to play a mixed sexual strategy. This is why I hope there's a hell, or some other form of karmic retribution. These sorts of women need to burn. Anyway, what is truly hilarious is that women who sleep with "alpha males" aren't giving their children good genes anymore, because narcissistic and psychopathic men are generally unsuccessful in the modern world (with some exceptions, but not enough to make these desirable traits). They're actually placing a genetic curse on their bastards.
