while females evolved two alternative strategies :madonna or whore!

SEXUAL VARIETY




Are women really less interested in sexual variety?

My own modest proposal is that during our long evolutionary history most males pursued trysts to spread their genes, while females evolved two alternative strategies to acquire resources: some women elected to be faithful to a single man in order to reap a lot of benefits from him; others engaged in clandestine sex with many men to acquire resources from each.
This scenario roughly coincides with common beliefs: man, the natural playboy; women, madonna or whore.
