“…Second, males and females compete in part in different domains, i.e. in the traits that are most preferred by the opposite-sex (see also ANDERSSON 1994;BUUNK, MASSAR and DIJKSTRA 2007;DIJKSTRA and BUUNK 2002). While throughout human history, men have competed more in the domains of status, resources, and dominance, women tend to compete more in the domains of physical attractiveness (e.g., CASHDAN 1998;DIJKSTRA and BUUNK 2002).…”
