How can there be any realistic competition between phone books?

Mr. Dickens makes a convincing argument that arousal in women would likely be
associated with the relief of stress rather than its onset. Perhaps there is
another EP explanation for why general happiness might occur in women as a

I remember to have both read and seen (on discovery channel) a couple of
studies that conclude that human females do in fact use this same strategy
as the birds (nesting with the reliable male, but mating with the high
quality). I believe this was labelled as a "superior mating strategy" - just

The usual argument is that the energy cost of raising a human child is so great, and
gestation and birth sufficiently disabling, that an important criteria in mate
selection for human females is the reliability of the mate as a provider. EP people
claim to have evidence to support this. It is t
Possibly. In many species of birds, the female will mate with high
quality males who are often not around b/c high quality males have many
mating opportunities. The female then nests with a lower quality male
