Why are females often more choosy than males during mate selection?

A female often needs to ensure that her offspring inherit the best traits so that they have the best chances for survival. Also, in meiosis, females produce less offspring per reproductive cycle, while males can produce many sperm continuously, making the value of each sperm pretty small. Males can achieve much from little cost, while females can't reproduce as often, so females need to ensure that they reproduce the best that they can.
This applies to all kinds of animals, such as the satin bowerbird. Male satin bowerbirds construct bowers, which are nests decorated with brightly colored and shiny objects, and then females inspect the bowers when choosing a mate.
Another example is the bighorn sheep. When male bighorn sheep meet, they headbutt, and the winning sheep in this violent competition wins the female, since the female sheep would rather reproduce with the stronger male sheep than the weaker one, hoping that her offspring can be the strongest that they can be.
