The concept of parental investment is used to describe the behaviors and resources (such as time, energy, and money) that each sex invests in offspring. In general, females tend to invest more in their offspring than males because of the physical burden of gestation and lactation. This can lead to a situation where females are more selective in their choice of mates, preferring those who have the ability and willingness to provide resources for their offspring. This can result in the stereotypical image of women as seeking out "Mr. Perfect" – a mate who is highly desirable in terms of traits such as intelligence, physical attractiveness, and social status.
