Coolness: Difference between revisions

'''Coolness''' is [[Dominance hierarchy|dominance signaling]] by looking fashionable and dangerous, as well as behaving in an interesting and impressive manner, all without trying hard. Achieving status whilst doing the bare minimum signals confidence in one's ability. Basically saying, "could try harder but don't need to because people ''already'' hail to the king, baby." Coolness is related to [[stoicism]] due to the downplaying of effort, and related to [[charisma]]/[[game]] as minimalism and style are associated with [[beauty]]. The danger in coolness is related to male war heroism and bravery, which are, however, only regarded as impressive in males.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090513815000239</ref>
