It simply states that the positive feedback loop can make women so attracted to male ornament that women will choose a very good looking male regardless of other considerations such as morality or paternal investment, because the male's ornament—which is partly heritable—confers on their offspring a potential reproductive advantage.<ref>https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article/19/2/456/214088</ref> This is particularly staggering in women, otherwise [[libido|coy]], engaging in casual sex with men way above their league (i.e. getting [[pump and dump|pumped and dumped]]). | ||
