Abstract
The paper report some experiments on the issue of human mating games and sexual
preferences in the perspective of population and some macro-social realms. The notions of
love, romance, fidelity, and sexual attractiveness are those comprising the theory to human
intra-species evolution but yet still rare to be employed to understand human social,
economic, and cultural studies in terms of sociology or economics. The paper did
experiments on those issues, on the possible relation between population growth, power-
law distribution of wealth, and some other relevant points to our realization of evolutionary
theory of sexual selection. The paper expects to open an alternative bridge of our
advancement in human evolution and the complexity of the social system.
Keywords: human mating games, sexual selection, love and romance, macro-micro linkage,
social simulation, artificial society.
