A mating tactic is a specific act or behavior that promotes mating in some way, such as engaging in extra-pair mating, signaling sexual or romantic interest, promoting one's physical attributes, or devaluing competition. Also, women's preferences for hypothesized good-genes indicators, including both symmetry and masculinity, are elevated during the highest fertility phase of a woman's cycle--the time at which the genetic benefits of extra-pair mating are maximized (Gangestad & Thornhill, 1998; Johnston et al. Women's sexual strategies: The hidden dimension of extra-pair mating. |
