Mathematics advises women not to rush

Scientists say women may have a better chance of choosing a better partner if they avoid having sex with their boyfriend during their first date.

Professor Robert Seymour of the University of London used game theory in mathematics to study dates between the sexes. He uses a complex mathematical model to prove that the long-term learning process helps women eliminate unreliable partners.

His model is based on the assumption that women will suffer the most when starting a new relationship because they may have to bring the child of an inappropriate man, not to remove the case that the child will no father.

Parents' advice on children's relationships is strengthened by mathematical theory.

Professor Seymour assumes the discovery process is a war between two sexes in which the two sides seek to compromise on when they will have sex.

He said: 'The process of learning in people goes through a series of dinners, movie shows and other types of dating that last for months or sometimes every year. Long-term learning is a way for women to gather more information about men. By delaying relationships, women may reduce their ability to 'miss' their relationship with an unqualified partner.'

The aforementioned model investigates the process of inquiry that has been simplified and in the absence of contraceptives. The game ends when either party renounces the relationship or when the woman accepts the man.

He also assumes that only two types of men are 'good' and 'bad', in which a 'good' man is willing to wait longer until sex.

Professor Seymour said: 'The long-term learning process is the price to pay to ensure that pairing, if any, will lead to a harmonious marriage that benefits both sides. This may help explain the common perception that women are best not to sleep with men on their first date. '

However, this mathematical model is difficult to correct in a society with many forms of contraception. It also does not take into account the pressure from society and practices affecting men and women.

However Professor Seymour believes that this model helps explain the birth of a long-term process of understanding people in prehistoric societies tens of thousands of years ago.
