Let's talk about non-corporative game theory in evolutionary biology. How men and women cheat against each other to get the best genes for the next generation. Male try to "mate" with as many females as possible. If the chance arises, they also try to mate with coupled females (equates to another male helping to raise his offsprings, for free!). Of course, this has not been explicitly observed in human societies, but we can never be sure. Females also try to cheat in this game. They generally couple with a mate that has prime resources at his disposal, then attempts to mate with a variety of different males to ensure genetic variety in her offsprings, even if her host male has got excellent genes. Some mathematical modeling has been done for fixed-mate populations, and its estimated that 5/13 of the females cheat and bear offsprings that are not of the host male's.
What's your view???
I don't care....
