Since the day the earth was created, there has always been a fight between the sexes. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses but only one can be the top. the amount of males to females in an litter should be about the same in order to keep an evolutionary and stable balance. if the balance were to be disrupted by a grand amount, their would be a change and their would be a great net loss.
All parents want to have as many offspring as possible so that their gene may grow and always be prosperous, but this depends on how much a mother gives to its offspring in the gene pool she gives. the less he gives to each of her offspring, the more offspring she is able to have in her lifetime. the catch to this strategy is for the mother to get her partner to invest more genes so that she will have a greater supply and can give more offspring with other partners. This selfish act results in more offspring, but with different genes mixed together and a difference in the environment.
As seen throughout history, not only do females commit this selfish act, but males as well. Males on the contrary are more prone to investing less genes and having more partners then females are prone to invest less in their own offspring. Females avoid this act by waiting a long time in order to rule out who are the worthy suitors to which they will have offsprings with. Prolonged engagements and courtships are also very common in women when avoiding this selfish act of the male.
