The increasing obsession with grooming and superficial traits (ornament) related to physical appearance, can likely be interpreted in the context of ''[[Fisherian runaway]] sexual selection''. Fisherian runaway refers a process that leads to the evolution of increasingly extreme and eventually maladaptive traits that increase sexual dimorphism, in response to ever narrowing preference for these traits in the opposite sex. When the sexual market place becomes more competitive e.g. due to increasing economic inequality or greater competition online, both sexes are driven towards more aggressive strategies optimizing their physical appearance, often to an arguably narcissistic, even obsessive-compulsive extent. | The increasing obsession with grooming and superficial traits (ornament) related to physical appearance, can likely be interpreted in the context of ''[[Fisherian runaway]] sexual selection''.
