Fisherian runaway is a popular meme in the [[manosphere]] used to argue women's mate choices may be [[maladaptiveness|maladaptive]], resulting in excessive emphasis on superficial [[courtship]] and selecting exaggerated [[asshole|anti-social]] traits that incite male competition. Fisherian runaway is often misunderstood to refer to exaggeration as a lifestyle choice, but it actually refers to an ''evolutionary'' process over many generations. However, sexual preferences evolved this way can motivate extreme body modifications like breast/penis enlargement, hormone supplements, bodybuilding and plastic surgery. | Fisherian runaway is a popular meme in the [[manosphere]] used to argue women's mate choices may be [[maladaptiveness|maladaptive]], resulting in excessive emphasis on superficial [[courtship]] and selecting exaggerated [[asshole|anti-social]] traits that incite male competition.
