It seems that I've been the only commentator who has not got reply from the author. Thank you very much.
I genuinely appreciate your interest. I'm not selectively discriminating against you: note that you left your comments long after most commenters did – replying to comments was high priority to me then, but I have a lot of other things on my plate at the moment. I'll reply when I get a chance.
I’m sorry fo the delay but I came across these articles accidentally through google and long after its date of publication. Not even knew this website until recently.
I guess you're not interested in perform more analisys about mate choice, since you're mathematician and I guess you were focused mainly on just developing statistical analysis of data.
Anyway speaking as someone with an education in evolutionary biology, I feel that it was needed a synthesis of descriptions of human mating systems. Quantifying the shape and strength of mating preferences is a vital component of the study of sexual selection and reproductive options, but the influence of experimental design on these estimates is unclear sometimes in most studies I've been reading.
