Briefly provide criticisms of psychologist David Buss's evolutionary explanation for gender differences in choosing mates
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Critics claim that the evolutionary explanation for gender differences in choosing mates is untestable. Similarities across cultures relating to gender preferences in seeking a mate may be due more to gender stereotyping than evolution. There are inconsistencies across cultures with regard to gender differences between male and female preferences in a mate. The consistencies that are found across cultures in gender preferences may have more to do with the realities of economic life than evolution.
