From what I learned from an Anthopology course I took, men produce millions of sperm and therefor their best mating strategy is too mate with the most women as possible. Women on the other hand have only so many eggs, so they must choose the mate(s) that are the healthiest/most supportive.
​
Also I would say that Humans are serial monogomists.
