The evolutionary process is not about survival success, but about reproductive success.
Intrasexual selection: In humans, social prestige is a key element in mate selection.
Intersexual selection: Selection is based on characteristics that ensure the greatest possible reproductive success.
A woman feels sexual jealousy only when her relationship is sexually threatened. The woman may respond to this threat with more sex, increased vigilance, or increased displays of love.
In women, smells are very important in men, rather not. (According to a study)
Women can recognize MHC genes and body symmetry by smell and thus choose the best partner.
Scientists have proven that male pheromones can increase a woman’s fertility. Pheromones are odor messengers secreted at glands in the mouth, armpit, anal and urinary tract. And women who are under exactly this influence are sexually more attractive to men. Pheromones/odors thus ensure that women are unconsciously sexually attracted and aroused.
In studies, 80% of women find men attractive who are at least 6 feet tall. And for short-term sexual partners, height is even more important.
The wave of images of women and men in magazines/TV/Internet has only resulted in perfectly normal built men/women no longer being satisfied with their own bodies.
Masculine facial features signal that the person has a strong immune system, is assertive over competitors, and has protective qualities. Of course, this changes when you consider fertility status and whether a woman is looking for a man for a night or her life. Women opt for masculine features when seeking an affair and less masculine features when seeking a long-term partner.
Women are attracted to men with deep voices. Reason: a deep voice indicates body symmetry and V-shaped stature. Deeper voices appear to women healthier, physically superior, distinct protective qualities, somehow older and more socially respected than other men.
Masculine body movements (men rock their upper body sideways while walking, while women gyrate their hips) signal attractiveness and illustrate a healthy and strong specimen. Further, certain movement patterns are valuable mating information. Placing a hand on another man’s back, extending arms and legs, or spacey movements indicate superiority. An open posture is considered proof of strength and persuasiveness in men.
Situation in bars for success in women: frequent short, direct looks at a woman, more frequent spacey gestures, more frequent changes of place, more frequent one-sided touches, and a less closed posture.
Humor generally indicates a cheerful, uncomplicated nature, and it implies social backbone and self-confidence. Research shows that men with a sense of humor are rated as socially accepted and confident.
One reason people choose a partner who is similarly attractive or unattractive to themselves is fear of rejection. But if they do choose a partner who is far more attractive, they pay the price in the form of constant fear of competition.
When two people fall in love, their hearts are on fire and the passion is tremendous. After a while, the fire cools down, and that’s the way it stays. They still love each other, but in a different way – warmly and reliably.
The essential condition for a long-term partnership is mutual attraction and love.
A study from 1972-1974 refutes the widespread stereotype of loving women and relationship-averse men. Men fall in love faster than women and also apparently hold on to their love longer. They fall in love faster because men place importance on external appearances, while women pay attention to a wide range of signals such as smell, voice, stature, status, and movement. Women are more likely to end a relationship because they see the end coming sooner than men.
If a woman chooses a man on the basis of reason, because he provides material resources, then she will probably leave you at the next opportunity in favor of a better-off rival. But if your partner is afflicted by a feeling against which she is absolutely powerless and which she cannot choose, a feeling which is directed only at you and no one else and which is additionally reinforced by a firework of sexually ignited hormones, then she is probably unshakable in her loyalty to you.
A woman’s reputation suffers more than a man’s when hopping from bed to bed. British evolutionary psychologist Anne Campbell notes in a study that girls and women themselves give weight to this code of conduct. Women don’t befriend hookers or bimbos so as not to jeopardize their reputations. They also communicate these terms more often (even if they are not true) to gain an advantage over their rivals.

It can be bad for a man if the woman has already had an incredible sexual adventure with an Adonis and doesn’t know how to classify the experience.
