How do people cooperate as part of obtaining a desirable mate?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
Women are more selective in their mate choice and do not engage with undesirable mates. Men are less selective and more intent on gaining access to females. Females may help one another avoid mates they are not interested in. Male friends might help one another by boosting the image of their friend to a desired female. Although women were more likely to be cooperative in this way, both men and women engage in cooperation rather than only competition. It is less clear how these findings might play out for lesbian and gay couples.
