Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that women are more likely to be attracted to men with a different major histocompatibility complex (MHC) than their own, as this suggests a higher chance of producing offspring with a stronger immune system. This preference is believed to be driven by olfactory cues, as the MHC is expressed in bodily secretions such as saliva and sweat. Therefore, Maxine is most likely to choose a long term mate who has a different MHC than her own.
