Evolutionary psychologists would be most likely to attribute gender differences in attitudes toward casual sex to the fact that men

A) are more dominant than women.
B) are more fertile than women.
C) are less individualistic than women.
D) have greater reproductive potential than do women.

Evolutionary psychologists argue that gender differences in attitudes toward casual sex can be attributed to biological differences in reproductive strategies. Men have a greater reproductive potential because they can father an unlimited number of children with minimal investment in each, whereas women have a more limited reproductive capacity and a higher investment in pregnancy and child-rearing. This leads to different attitudes towards casual sex, with men being more open to it due to the possibility of increasing their reproductive success with minimal investment.
