Research has demonstrated that females prefer an unattractive male in a business suit to an attractive male in a fast food uniform. How might evolutionary theory explain this?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: It can be explained by considering the adaptive advantage that women may have had by mating with males with resources and status, even at the expense of some attractiveness. That is, women have enhanced the likelihood that they and their offspring would survive by finding males with the resources and status to protect and support them.
