'Strategies are defined as evolved solutions to adaptive problems'.<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Buss, D. M.|author2=Schmitt, D. P.|name-list-style=amp|year=1993|title=Sexual strategies theory: an evolutionary perspective on human mating|journal=Psychological Review|volume=100 |issue=2|pages=204–232|doi=10.1037/0033-295x.100.2.204|pmid=8483982}}</ref> Men and women differ in the adaptive problems that they face, and therefore deploy different strategies. Women strongly desire the resources and commitment that comes with paternal parental investment and therefore impose a longer period of time for courtship and use of seduction prior to engaging in a long-term sexual relationship. Women also spend time seeking and seducing men that are willing to invest and commit in the long run.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The evolution of desire: Strategies of human mating|edition=Rev.|author=Buss, D. M.|publisher=New York: Basic Books|year=2003}}</ref> It is likely that exploitative strategies will not be used when seducing a long-term partner.<ref name=":10" /> The traits associated within the dark triad (Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism) are not useful for long term mating strategies because they are negatively correlated with [[agreeableness]], empathy and reciprocation, which are traits promoting a healthy relationship.<ref name=":11" />
