Peripheralized men (incels) can establish social ties with horny men of higher social standing by homosociality and re-gain access to resources, and thus increase chances of [[reproductive success]].<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J082v40n01_03</ref> | ||
Therefore, receptive/submissive gayness is associated with low status, and men can use accusations of gayness as means of intrasexual competition to impress women and intimidate other men. Omega males are of no use for betas, so betas exclude and bully them to foil any competitive threat that may arise.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0886260515593546</ref> | Therefore, receptive/submissive gayness is associated with low status, and men can use accusations of gayness as means of intrasexual competition to impress women and intimidate other men.

Their homosexual acts hence act as costly signal of their social and heterosexual status. | ||

* '''Acts of domination''': Supporting the idea that homosexual penetration can serve to signal status (or to diminish the status of rivals) there is evidence that homosexual penetration of another man is, arguably, the ultimate act of domination. Eibl-Eibesfeld highlights the prevalence of the male dominance/female surrender pattern throughout the animal kingdom and ancient species humans share ancestors and brain architecture with, e.g. lizards. He suggested the type of excessive, promiscuous and anonymous adult-male/adult-male homosexual behavior that is common among many homosexuals (see [[#Statistics|Statistics]]) may have originated from the archaic vertebrate dominance-and-submission sexuality, though he regards this as unlikely to explain any male homosexual behavior.<ref>Eibl-Eibesfeldt I. 1990. ''Dominance, Submission, and Love: Sexual Pathologies from the Perspective of Ethology.'' In: Feierman, J. R. (ed.): Pedophilia. Biosocial Dimensions. Springer-Verlag, New York, 1990 151-175.</ref> Exhibitionism and phallus symbolism may also be born from such display of dominance. | * '''Acts of domination''': Supporting the idea that homosexual penetration can serve to signal status (or to diminish the status of rivals) there is evidence that homosexual penetration of another man is, arguably, the ultimate act of domination.
