AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Usually, females tend to be more choosy, evaluating morphological and behavioral traits from potential mates to determine which will maximize their fitness. Males tend to compete with one another to gain the female’s attention.

Detailed explanation-2: -Females tend to be the choosier sex when it comes to selecting a mate, part-ly because males can produce millions of sperm, whereas females’ eggs are few and far between. Thus, females may be more selective because they have more invested in each gamete and in the re-sulting offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most fundamental principles of evolutionary psychology is that women are much more selective than men in their mate choice. Because women pay far greater reproductive costs by making the wrong choice, women have been designed by evolution to be more cautious and choosier than men in mate selection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Although mating is important, it can be a costly event-females are predicted to be choosier about selecting their mates than males because of risks during mating, such as aggression or disease transmission, which may negatively impact the female’s reproductive output.
