        I thought female mate choice takes into account men's dominance status.

        Male–male competition & female choice can be very distinct mechanisms of sexual selection. In the former the selective process deciding the subgroup of successful males is really not mediated by female preference at all, while in the later it is

        The claim is not that selective process in male-male competition is mediated by female preference. The claim is that female preferences keep track of who are the winners and losers in male-male competitions, i.e. the men's status hierarchy.

        If women attribute higher social status to bearded men, and if men's social status plays an important role in female mate choice & ratings of attractiveness, it would be surprising if the beard wasn't a factor in female mate choice.

        Yes, that would be female mate choice. This would mean that women preference for beards and beardness are heritable, with genetic covariance between these two. However, beardness could develop in the total absence of female mate choice as well , through male-male competition.

        As women's preferences for beardness (& masculinity) is very variable & covaries with short/long-term mating, & dominance/prestige hierarchies rank differentials have complex relationship with reproductive success across time, (...)

        Replying to @boni_bo @NicoleBarbaro

        it seems that both selective processes (intrasexual male-male competition & female mate choice) are happening at the same time shaping beardness. The question is which selective process is stronger (weapons vs ornaments)

        A beard doesn’t make the Leonidas. Or the Santa Claus. But it doesn’t hurt
