Cliché 1: Men are far more likely than women to agree to brief one-time sexual encounters without emotional commitments.

The facts: A man can theoretically father a thousand times as many children as any one woman can bear. In practice, men and women have the same number of children on average for the simple reason that each child has precisely two biological parents. This brings about a situation in which men are in perpetual competition with other men in the race for greater fertility. From this perspective, a long-term commitment to one partner reduces a man’s genetic survival potential because it limits the number of children he can have to the upper limit of children that his partner can bear for him. In contrast, women need only one man to attain their maximal fertility, and gain no advantage in having multiple sexual partners.
