Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evolutionary theory predicts that males should choose females who have high reproductive value, meaning they are healthy, fertile, and have the potential to produce offspring with good genetic traits. This increases the likelihood that their genes will be passed on to future generations. Choosing older females, females with many sexual partners, or asymmetrical females does not necessarily increase a male's likelihood of passing on his genes.
