== Bateman's principle ==
In many species, the females are more coy because they have more [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]], hence the males need to be more actively advertise themselves to the opposite sex. This also applies to humans, in fact, ethnologist [[Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt]] observed that courtship in terms of flirting and female coyness is prevalent and pretty much the same the world over.<ref name="ethology">Eibl-Eibesfeldt I. 2017.

Using his [[charm]], he was able to elicit the "[[sex drive#Female_passivity|coy]] glance" in girls around the world (see figure).
Human females engage in courtship display to lesser extent in shape of presenting their [[beauty|curves]], [[nubility]], [[neoteny]] enhanced by [[fakeup|makeup]] and related means of arousing attention.
