      1/Although it is changing, there is a popular view in human evolutionary psychology that women are choosy and men are eager and that, therefore, sexual selection shaped men to be gaudy displayers....to use strength, style, and cultural displays to woo women

      2/But, women appear more decorated than men, as noted by some scholars http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/147470490700500208 … and men appear "designed" more for coalitional combat than for enthralling the other sexhttp://www.ehbonline.org/article/S1090-5138(10)00027-9/abstract …

      3/I think Puts is largely correct, but he emphasizes the dominance part of intrasexual selection a bit too much. Men cooperate in hierarchies and voluntarily defer to competent others. My brother and I have taken to calling this system a "coalitional value" system.

      4/The idea is not completely novel, of course. The basic outline: Men defer to other men who add value to their coalition. Steph Curry adds a lot of value to Golden State; therefore, his teammates defer to him. This benefits the teammates,because they get Curry in their coalition

      5/And it benefits Curry because he gets favored access to coveted resources (including women). So, a lot of "competition" among men is not via dominance, but via prestige, i.e., it is about displaying traits that would provide value to a coalition.

      6/Examined from this perspective, men's cultural displays are explicable: They are generally designed to signal the possession of traits that would benefit a coalitionhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/322902968_The_Status_Competition_Model_of_Cultural_Production …

      7/Of course, some displays are quite clearly designed to appeal to the other sex. These, however, are something of an alternative strategy, a way for men who cannot compete in a coalition to attract mates (think of pop music, or treacly love poetry)

      8/I suspect that these kinds of displays have increased as society has become more peaceful and prosperous, perhaps confusing us today because it is hard for us to imagine how different male behavior was 1,800 years ago https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236629296_The_Ape_That_Thought_It_Was_a_Peacock_Does_Evolutionary_Psychology_Exaggerate_Human_Sex_Differences …

      9/So, women were selected to appeal directly to men to procure crucial resources and paternal investment and lineage enhancing status. Men were mostly selected to appeal to each other to get status/power/prestige, which they can then use to get mates or to invest in kin

      There is research showing that women prefer prestigious, not dominant, men as long term partners, which seems to accord with your ideas.
