The sexy sons hypothesis isn't primarily about hypergamy or looks prioritization, it's actually the phenomena where women prefer guys who are known to be reproductively successful. This is the same phenomena that causes chads to lose attractiveness by letting slip that they are virgins, or the concept behind statusmaxxing, where average guys become more attractive because women assume other women are fucking them. It's a numerical evaluation that if the man is getting laid, his children will likely get laid, thus he is attractive. The current content in the sexy sons hypothesis just describes Fisherian runaway, which is a related concept but not the sexy sons hypothesis. | The sexy sons hypothesis isn't primarily about hypergamy or looks prioritization, it's actually the phenomena where women prefer guys who are known to be reproductively successful.

{{quote| Sexy son hypothesis: The sexy son hypothesis (SSH) is closely related to the good genes assumption and the fisherian runaway selection process. SSH, too, assumes indirect genetic benefits that are able to compensate any inferior direct reproductive success, that is, fewer offspring. The main difference between good genes and SSH is that SSH assumes an indirect effect due to the attractiveness of the sons whereas good genes focus on viability in sons and daughters. However, attractiveness is not specified and can be every trait that increases a male's probability to become polygynous. }} | |||
