Women are not predisposed to sleep around, as the result cannot be hidden
from their mates and having too many children may kill them or otherwise

It is no good having children if we then let them die before they can pass their
genes on to their children. We thus are motivated to look after our children at

a fight to the death or a desperate flight from certain defeat by a clearly superior
adversary.
Physical changes
Fight or flight effects include:
• Our senses sharpening. Pupils dilate (open out) so we can see more
clearly, even in darkness. Our hairs stand on end, making us more
sensitive to our environment (and also making us appear larger, hopefully
intimidating our opponent).
• The cardio-vascular system leaping into action, with the heart pump rate
going from one up to five gallons per minutes and our arteries constricting
to maximize pressure around the system whilst the veins open out to ease
return of blood to the heart.
• The respiratory system joining in as the lungs, throat and nostrils open up
and breathing speeding up to get more air in the system so the increased...
