Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evolutionary psychology suggests that men and women face different reproductive challenges due to biological differences, which affects their mating preferences. For example, men have a greater reproductive potential than women, whereas women face greater costs (both biologically and socially) associated with reproduction. This leads to differences in sexual behaviors and preferences, with men typically seeking multiple short-term sexual partners, while women often prioritize long-term, committed relationships. This suggests that gender and mating preferences are not fixed, but rather reflect the adaptive challenges that each gender faces in reproduction. A) is false because there is evidence to suggest that women actually have more selective tendencies when it comes to choosing sexual partners. B) is also false because not all individuals have an inclination toward dominance. D) is not entirely accurate as males do take risks with their reproductive opportunities, but they may also be more cautious in certain circumstances.
