The Perfect Mate

 

In some cultures, arranged marriages are acceptable, but now imagine having that specific trait throughout the whole world in the human species?   These views have changed throughout the centuries.  Our society has evolved, women and men have been given the choice, to find and choose their mate. 

 

Things have changed throughout the years.  Women now work and also provide for themselves and their family and men are attracted to women around their same age.  Our society is not so close-minded as how it used to be but in some other places around the world the arranged custom marriages still happen, and the past views of women marrying men who could provide and men marrying fertile young women still continue.  Women tend to find men who can be good providers for her and future family and men tend to find women who are young for fertile purposes.  These were reasons for past marriages from our ancestors, but nowadays their view on what is a perfect mate has evolved.  Women tend to still find men that could provide for them but they also need to be attracted by physical looks.  So as for men, they go by the same, physical attraction has to be a must for mating.  In our present day’s women and men are driven to each other not by what they get out of a relationship but what they want from their partners. 

In choosing the perfect mate, there are no genes that can be proven to be in fault for women and men to act the way we do when finding the one.  Our views are driven by what our society brings to us.  Our genes work in many different ways but by choosing our mates it still being studied to find out why we act the way we do.
