Your observation has anthropological foundation. Hunter-gatherer notion.

I agree with you to some extent...although its messier and more complicated than you say. Even so, we experience the world through our biology. There's no doubt that males of all kinds signal their genetic potential and their ability to take care of offspring (provide and protect) through the same stuff: plumage, mating dance (shows strong genes) dominance, ability to kill and bring food. Females select males based on this and it's why human males take women out to dinner and have their plumage asfancy cars and houses etc, and bring flowers. Yet there was some interesting stuff I read about chimps recently where the females also go off and sneak little trysts with the younger less dominant males. They hide it from the dominant males of course. So they get various agendas met: dominant male takes care of offspring; less dominant males sometimes get to spread their genes, too; females have more fun. Many agendas met. Birds do this too.
