I have observed that females in the animal kingdom, in some monogamous species( which includes humans) tend to marry the equivalent of the accountant, or someone stable who can provide, and once in a while they cheat with the aggressive alpha, one of those good for nothing brothers, as a part of a dual strategy. This strategy is called barbell strategy ( describes a dual attitude of playing it safe in some areas and taking a lot of small risks in others), all human societal systems and biological systems are replete with barbell strategies. Some women limit their downside while using exta-pair copulation( cheating, affair etc) to get the genetic upside, or some great fun or both. Even the timing of the cheating seems non-random, as it corresponds to periods with high likelihood of pregnancy. So fellas theres high probability that the child you have with your lady is not yours. We also see evidence of such strategy with the so-called monogamous birds: they enjoy cheating, with more than a tenth of the broods coming males other than the putative father. The phenomenon is real, but the theories around it vary. Sociobiology theorists claim that females want both economic-social stability and good genes for their children. Both cant be always obtained in the middle with all these virtues( though good gene providers, those alpha males arent likely stable, and vice versa). Why not have the pie and eat it too? Stable life and good genes. But an alternative theory may be that they want to have pleasure- or stable life and good fun... what yall think? Are the females species initiators of the strategy of extra-pair copulation( cheating) in the animal domain. Hence they mastered the art so much that they rarely caught.
