There is some evidence (based on research on related primates) that women may have hidden estrus, hidden early pregnancy, and sometimes promiscuous tendencies in order to increase paternal uncertainty as much as possible. If somebody suspects they might be related to your children, they'll be less likely to hurt them.

This might also explain why some men have trophy wives, cuckoldry fetishes, etc. Their own biological children may be a little safer from outside threats if they're mixed up with other men's biological children. Of course, that must be balanced with mate guarding to ensure that most of their children are actually their own.

For both men and women, there are competing reproductive strategies at play, which probably explains all the complexity and dissonance in our sexual behavior.

That's an interesting theory that I hadn't run across.

Something I've long suspected is that there are differing reproductive strategies within the human population tied to genetics. So for instance, you may have a family whose Y chromosome has sought out submissive females to dominate in order to chain them to the stove and pump out babies (for lack of better terminology). You might also have a Y chromosome line whose strategy has been to seduce as many women as possible to leave a wake of illegitimate children behind.

I'm wondering if these theories are solely the province of my own imagination or if you've read about these things anywhere else? I know the widely derided Rushton has done some research in this area, but his is all race based. Maybe someone has done some family based research? Maybe I'm wrong, but I picture the human race made up of competing genetic lines with possibly widely differing reproductive strategies. The Y chromosome would be a perfect carrier of these strategies. Is This crazy?

What you're saying makes sense, and I've suspected the same based on mating strategies exhibited by other animals (blue-throated lizards perhaps being the best example).

I doubt that the Y chromosome would code for it directly, as it is so small. But other genes might code for it, and those genes could be triggered indirectly by the Y chromosome via androgens. This might also explain why women appear to exhibit some degree of the mating behaviors of men, even though it's not directly clear how it helps them; perhaps they just get it from their dads. (I suspect my innate monogamy comes from my dad, for example; I don't take after my mother in that regard.) Along these lines, traits that women select for in men—intelligence, humor, talent, ambition, etc.—would prevail in the female populace as well, even though men may not place as much sexual emphasis on them.

I also suspect that mating strategies vary with age. When you're young and not very high-ranking, it may be more helpful to sleep around as much as possible with the hopes of fathering a child or two. Your chances of reproduction are pretty slim, but the cost to yourself is negligible—a good thing when you have nothing to offer. This might also explain why teenaged boys are so much hornier than their older counterparts.

As you get older and achieve a higher rank in society, you might be better off finding a long-term partner (or several, if you can) who will essentially guarantee you plenty of opportunities to father children. And any children you do father, you can help ensure their survival by directly providing for them.

These two strategies compete against each other pretty effectively, I'd imagine. If you're promiscuous, you do best if there aren't a lot of other promiscuous males; there's less sperm competition, and parental males won't be as suspicious of you. If you're a parental male, you do best if there aren't a lot of other parental males; there are more females available for your harem. Evolution would tend toward a pretty stable balance between the two, I'd imagine.

Some people may naturally tend more toward one strategy or the other, but I would guess age contributes a good deal, just based on anecdotal evidence. Some people may display differing attributes at the same time, possibly due to there being many different genes that code for mating behavior; matings (not necessarily consensual) between extreme promiscuous individuals and extreme parental individuals could give rise to children with enormous variety in their mating behavior.

I would love to see more research in this area, but there are a lot of limitations when you study humans. Perhaps more primate studies are in order?

Maybe, although sex in the city is a TV show and, even at that, most of the "interest" they express within it actually seems quite malevolent in nature. It's much less about discovering and appreciating male individuals than it is about criticizing them for stereotypical faults.

Like, just take this "tall, dark and mysterious" concept for example; a seemingly common principle amongst women that actually dictates that men are more attractive the less they actually know about them. Instead of taking interest in them, seeking to learn more about them and appreciating their individuality; they either simply see men as expendable, and not worth the effort to seek out because they are easily replaceable, or objectify them into this fantasy of mystery.

In any case, you may very well be right and it is possible that women find men just as interesting as men find women(If there are that many women keeping this interest hidden though, they certainly hold a very good bluff; and if anything, this seems to present them as rather cruel) but this is certainly not something I have ever experienced myself with women(Although, I don't totally blame them either, they aren't any more responsible for the social conditions they were born in than men are. Such is the nature of causality).
