Psychology Essay Essays - Sexual Reproduction, Biology, Free Essays Psychology Essay Cam Widergren 09/13/2018 Professor Westra I agree with the claim that males compete for fertile females and try to maximize passing on genes while females shop for males with the best genes. In my experience, males tend to rather try and " reproduce" rather then find a mate like females do. Females want the more attractive and complete mate rather than settling down with someone who is not up to the same level of attractiveness as them. Males on the other hand will try to reproduce because of past evolutionary adaptations with almost any women willing to. Males tend to just want a mate to reproduce while females want more than just a partner for reproduction. With males just wanting to reproduce it becomes harder for them to always find the more attractive genes because females tend to wanting a relationship. Females tend to shop for the best genes also because they believe that because of their good genes any guy would want them so it's easy to pick and choose your mate. In the past few decades most couples are where the female has the best genes. This is due to the fact that since females believe that they always have the best traits they feel the need to try and reproduce with males who only have the best genes. While I agree that males try maximize passing on genes while females tend to shop for males with the best genes but it also could be the other way around. Males tend to try and simply reproduce rather then have a relationship but a lot of men are picky with the females they want to reproduce with. Females once they see a man with genes that are only better then them they want to reproduce. You could make the claim that females are more promiscuous than males because once they find a male with better genes they want to reproduce.
