 Women are likely mainly ornamented because throughout history, [[Chad|alpha males]] could freely choose among many women, could produce a large number of children and evidently repeatedly chose women with pronounced secondary sexual characteristics such as [[tits|big boobs]] and [[Butt|booties]]. Men are of course ornamented because '''all''' women are choosy as hell (not just [[Stacy|alpha females]]).
-Sexual selection may not only concern physical appearance though, but also cognitive ability, in particular because human intelligence is unnecessarily sophisticated for the needs of hunter-gatherers to survive.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_human_intelligence#Sexual_selection</ref> While human females may not all be dull looking (as it is the case in many bird species), they have certainly rarely impressed by intellectual achievements let alone cooperative achievements in human history, and still don't despite emancipation and empowerment (affirmative action).
 While it is not proven that feedback loops were involved in shaping human ornament, or just sexual selection without feedback, it is certainly plausible, especially considering the importance people place on good looks. It could explain why people undergo great risks and costs merely for improving their looks, e.g. by surgeries, diets or steroid intake (see [[#zyzz|Zyzz's photo]]).
