These findings can most easily be interpreted as representing what is known in evolutionary biology as "[[fisherian runaway]] sexual selection". [[Fisherian runaway]] is the process of men taking on increasingly extreme and maladaptive traits to increase their sexual dimorphism, in response to female preference for these traits. It is the natural result of a more and more competitive sexual marketplace that is otherwise cutting them out.
The increasing obsession with grooming and superficial traits (ornament), can most easily be interpreted in the context of ''[[Fisherian runaway]] sexual selection''. Fisherian runaway refers to the evolution of increasingly extreme and eventually maladaptive traits that increase sexual dimorphism, in response to ever narrowing preference for these traits in the opposite sex. When the sexual market place becomes more competitive e.g. due to economic inequality or greater competition online, both sexes are driven towards more aggressive strategies optimizing their physical appearance, often to narcissistic, even obsessive-compulsive extent.
