Differences in male and female mating strategies from "summary" of Evolutionary Psychology by David Buss
Male and female mating strategies differ in several key ways, a fact that can be explained through evolutionary psychology. Men and women have evolved different strategies due to differences in reproductive biology and the challenges they face in maximizing their reproductive success. Men, for example, tend to prioritize short-term mating strategies, seeking to maximize the number of partners they can mate with in order to spread their genes as widely as possible. This is because men have a higher potential reproductive rate than women, as they can produce millions of sperm each day. As a result, men are more likely to pursue casual sex and are less selective when choosing partners. Women, on the other hand, tend to prioritize long-term mating strategies, seeking partners who can provide resources and support for th...
