Geoffrey Miller suggested that human intelligence and social behavior has also been selected by runaway selection and is merely "cognitive ornament", with males eliciting super stimuli in women in order to be selected, e.g. by humour and artistic performances (see [[Fisherian runaway|Fisherian runaway § Intelligence]]). In fact, instrument building has been a near exclusively male activity across cultures.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref>

== Female coyness ==
Women are coy not only because they have greater [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]], but also because they [[hypergamy|depend]] on men's resources. Women watch for signals of resource investment ([[romance]]) and they wait to evaluate the male and for a potentially better male to show up in the mean while, unless the male is exceptionally good looking ([[sexy son hypothesis]]). This way, women trade time for information.<ref name="tradeinfo">Wachtmeister, C.A. and Enquist, M., 1999. ''The evolution of female coyness–trading time for information.''
