Mandrill males are extremely sexually dimorphic and good looking, whereas mandrill females are rather indistinguishable and plain looking.
They live separately from each other, in different troops.
A mandrill male:
A mandrill female:
In order to gain mating rights, two mandrill males stand off against one another, but rather than actually engage in a physical fight, they merely "posture" and seek to intimidate the other.
When one of them feels sufficiently intimidated, he signals defeat by grimacing:
Yes, that's right, inferior mandrill males literally make the soy face as a show of submission. This is not a joke or a coincidence.
And on the other hand, the superior mandrill male signals his success by experiencing a spike in testosterone, which makes him even more colorful and luxurious looking than usual, absolutely mogging all the other males -- just in time for him to enter the female troop and mate with 3/4ths of the females over a period of a couple months, before the process repeats again.
It is so over. Feminist "dating" culture is literally just a reflection of mandrill monkey mating dynamics. Males compete with each other through psuedo-masculine ersatz stand-offs, which don't actually require any bravery or courage, and have been selected primarily for their good-looks, whereas females are utterly unappealing and nothing special. The loser males make unironic soy faces, and the winner males capitalize on their success by having sex with ~75% of the females.
How can we cope with the devolution of our species?
