A model of human mate choice with courtship that predicts population patterns (2001)
Abstract
We present a new model of human mate choice incorporating non-negligible courtship time. The courtship period is used by individuals to strategically swap to better partners when they become available. Our model relies on realistic assumptions about human psychological constraints and the specifics of the human social environment to make predictions about population level patterns that are supported by empirical data from the social sciences.
