一、原文摘錄 (p.335)
The following are some of the specific hypotheses
that have been derived from parental investment and
parenthood probability theories (Buss, 1989; Buss,
Larsen, Westen, & Semmelroth, 1992): 1. A woman's
"mate value" for a man should be determined by her
reproductive capacity as suggested by youth and physical
attractiveness. Chastity should also be valued in terms of
increased probability of paternity. 2. A man's
"mate value" for a woman should be determined less
by reproductive value and more by evidence of the
resource he can supply, as evidenced by characteristics
such as earning capacity, ambition, and industriousness.
3. Males and females should differ in the events that
activate jealousy, males being more jealous about sexual
infidelity and the threat to paternal probability, and
females more concerned about emotional attachments
and the threat of loss of resources.

二、我的感想/心得/疑惑
有人說:「男人來自火星,女人來自金星。」兩個
性別之間有難以測量的差距,但是否每個國家、
每個地區,都一樣是火星到金星的距離?在不同的
文化下,大家在擇偶時,追求的都是實用式的愛情?
各取所需嗎?是否會因為不同文化而影響了擇偶偏好?
性別差異具有跨文化的普同性?
三、我有這樣的感想/心得/疑惑,因為我聯想到什麼人事物?為什麼我會有這些感想?
文中提到兩性的擇偶標準不同,女性希望能提供
資源及保護的男性,而男性則在意繁殖的能力,但
這是否只反應在選擇終身伴侶上?擇偶標準是否也
可套用在一般男女朋友交往上?在不以結婚為前提
之下的交往,是不是性別都統一成了「男性!」
女生希望找到帥氣的陽光男孩,男生希望找到身材
姣好的可愛正妹,大家紛紛加入本世紀最熱門的
外貌協會會員,或許等到該結婚了,才會真正拋棄
協會給予的教條;但是現代社會擇偶也變得有趣,
女性認為男性除了要有抱負、有理想、有經濟能力
之外,如果再有著帥氣挺拔的外型更是名列前茅的
最佳候選人,而男性除了年輕及外表吸引力之外,
如果女性又擁有不錯的經濟,更是上上之選,竊喜
自己可以少奮鬥個三十年;達爾文的演化論沒有錯,
或許是現今的文化價值觀讓現代人在演化吸引異性
的特徵上做了一點小小的改變!
