Abstract Mate choice copying is a non-independent method of human beings when choosing a spouse by copying others' choice to save cost, thereby obtaining advantages of mate-selection. Many studies have found that females prefer mate choice copying strategies than males, which may be the result of the evolution of individual's social adaptative mechanism. Mate choice copying can avoid women's high costs and risks, while it is of slight significance for men to adopt mate choice copying strategy, which on the contrary will intensify intrasexual competition during mate choice. However, in the process of human reproduction, the differences between marriage system and social cultures may also lead to the gender difference in mate choice of the overall society. In the future, further studies on human mate choice copying phenomenon from the perspective of neural mechanism are needed, so as to establish a more reasonable and effective theoretical model.
