The | The sexy son hypothesis was proposed by Weatherhead & Robertson in 1979 and considers the consequence of runaway selection for female mate choice.<ref>Weatherhead PJ, Robertson RJ. 1979. ''Offspring quality and the polygyny threshold: 'the sexy son hypothesis''' The American Naturalist. Volume 113. Issue = 2. Pages 201–208 [[https://doi.org/10.1086/283379 Abstract]]</ref> It simply states that the positive feedback loop can make women so attracted to a man's ornament that women will readily choose a "sexy man" regardless of other considerations such as his morality or paternal investment, because the man's ornament—which is partly heritable—will confer the same reproductive advantage on their male offspring. The male offspring will hence also be "sexy" to other women, making up for any other flaws on part of their father.<ref>https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article/19/2/456/214088</ref> This is particularly staggering in women, otherwise [[libido|coy]], engaging in casual sex with men way above their league (i.e. getting [[pump and dump|pumped and dumped]]), then resulting in [[single mother]]s and the [[betabuxx]] phenomenon. | ||
