Question for ev bio people about the handicap principle in sexual selection.pic.twitter.com/DWVJi864Ez

@jmzwar@sarahdoingthing Yes. But why do females prefer males who handicap themselves (and then overcome it), rather than no-nonsense males?
@jmzwar The handicapped males pass their handicap along to their sons. So does the value accrue only in the female lineage/genome?
