NOTE

Female mate preferences and male mating strategies

Female mate preferences and the co-evolution of those preferences with male mating strategies are important factors./nMale mating strategies involve prioritizing resource acquisition and climbing the status hierarchy./nWomen tend to allocate their time, energy, and investment across a wider array of adaptive problems compared to men./nWomen invest more in kin, in-laws, and friendships, even if they are married./nMen, on average, tend to focus more on getting ahead and have a narrower focus./nChanging female mate preferences to prioritize qualities other than status and resources could ultimately change male behavior./nEvolving female mate preferences by iterating it over generations may be an effective long-term strategy to address patriarchy.
