RESUMO:

Reproductive behavior is an important factor in the evolution field. Starting from sexual strategies, we can analyze the repercussions of mate choices and what motivates them.
Therefore, papers that seeks to understand the factors involved in this field and related environmental characteristics becomes really important. This paper has two studies as focus. From a center that serves homeless people, we obtained a sample of 136 homeless men. In the first study, a sociodemographic characterization of the male population was performed from homeless men in the city of Natal / RN. Our sample had a majority claiming single marital status, mean age 37.5 years, ie men approaching middle age. We also observed a predominance of time of four years or more on the street. The expressive use of chemical and illicit substances was one of the main results in the sample. In addition, most men reported the conception of short-term relationships up to six months and long term being from four years or more time. Finally, in study 2, we analyzed a relationship between anxious and avoidant attachment dimensions with risky behaviors and family unpredictability. We found out that as much as older they get, the lower is the avoidance of affective relationships, and also found out inversely proportional relationship between avoidance and anxiety. We also discovered positive correlation between unpredictability of resources and anxious attachment. The individuals were classified into risk groups, where it was possible to observe a predominance of high averages of anxiety levels related to higher risks. Finally, we hypothesized the possibility of mixed strategies related to sexual selection in homeless men. In summary, the present study demonstrates the importance of expanding responses on reproductive strategies in different groups and environmental situations involved.
