The correct answer is : Females are supposedly attracted to males who appear healthy and bold, which encourages males to behave this way.

Explanation:

Women prefer to stick-around dads. They prefer mates with the potential for long-term mating. They are more attracted to men who are dominant, bold, affluent and seem mature. What they look for are protection and support. They have a need to feel safe and there is an instinctive desire to feel protected by a man.
