So men who are more on the beta side are more likely to get married. Makes sense since long-term relationships require men to accept the "provider" role and stay with their wife during that time period instead out and about trying to spread their genes as much as possible. And as we know from other studies, women prefer these types of men when they are not ovulating, aka not that horny. When they are ovulating their preferences change towards men with signs of higher testosterone https://incels.is/threads/menstrual-cycle-and-shifting-female-preferences.41113/. That is why women are far more likely to cheat when they are ovulating, with more "alpha" or sexually attractive men.in Booth and associates' large cross-sectional study of army veterans, men with low testosterone were more likely to marry than men with high testosterone. Furthermore, among married men, those with high testosterone were more likely to report hitting or throwing things at their wives, to leave home because of trouble with their wives, to have extra-marital sex, and to get a divorce (Booth &Dabbs 1993; Booth & Osgood 1993). Under the basal model, the inference is easily made that testosterone level is a cause of stable marriage or of divorce.
Men who are high testosterone are less likely to be married anyway, so the chances that other men are sexier than you if you are married are rather high. If you are high testosterone and still ended up marrying a woman, you're more likely to cheat and get a divorce. LOL @ marriage. But wait, there's more!One study published today by the University of California, Los Angeles Center on Behavior, Culture, and Evolution and the University of New Mexico says women have evolved to cheat on their mates during the most fertile part of their cycle, but only when those mates are less sexually attractive than other men.
The study in the Journal of Hormones and Behavior examined 38 coeds from one large, unidentified U.S. university.
"We found that women were most attracted to men other than their primary partner when they were in the high fertility phase of the menstrual cycle," said Dr. Martie Haselton, a UCLA researcher. "That's the day of ovulation and several days beforehand."
Marriage causes your T levels to go down, even when taking age into account! So your body is naturally making you into a more beta and unattractive version of yourself because it falsely believes you are "safe" and so you can be a more effective provider. Nature screws men over, especially the "good" ones.Among male air force veterans of the Vietnam era, age-adjusted testosterone levels are lower in married men than among those who are single or divorced. Contrary to the assumption of some sociological studies, age-adjusted testosterone level is not constant over time. Testosterone is relatively high during the years surrounding a divorce and testosterone level falls during the years surrounding marriage.
thanks to @chudur-budur for providing me this expensive study for free.
