When taking into account the chances of success, strategic mating motivations do imply a bias not toward the most attractive individuals, but toward average or mildly attractive individuals, undermining the explanation of Maestripieri et al. at a fundamental level. This leaves open the possibility of alternative explanations and calls for a full-fledged explicit model of courtship behavior.
当考虑到成功的机会时,策略性交配动机确实暗示了一种偏见,不是针对最有吸引力的个体,而是针对平均或轻度有吸引力的个体,从根本上颠覆了 Maestripieri 等人的解释。这就为其他替代解释留下了可能性,并呼吁建立一个全面的求偶行为显式模型。
