Well, you see, like anyone in the world, women do not pick the best genes. Women pick the best looking genes.
How do they know?
Because peahens are attracted to peacocks with long tail, we know that it happens. Because the tails hurt gene pool survival, the reason why the tails are attractive is surprisingly.
All products, including sperms, require advertising. That advertising can actually hurt gene pool, or even life survival. If the advertising can improve women’s impressions on the males, some males will do it.
Women know that any men that can afford such things must be rich. Women pick such males, and males buy those things.
Peacock’s with shorter tails will not attract predators and hence live longer.
Let’s examine the peacocks elaborate tail. Those tails actually hurt survival.
Customers pick the best product. Women pick the best genes. That advertising can actually hurt gene pool, or even life survival. If the advertising can improve women’s impressions on the males, some males will do it.
A built in pattern recognition algorithm in all peahen’s mind will correctly conclude that any living peacocks with long tails must have better genes than peacocks with shorter tails.
Advertising of survival capability don’t just end there.
It’s the same reason why human males spend a lot of money for car, donations, big mansions, and bling bling. All those actually hurt gene pool survival. The money used to buy sports cars can not be used to buy food or health care.
Such killing explains genocide done against capitalists, Jews, and other successfully contributing minorities all over the world.
The fact that most peacocks have long tail is a proof that at least in the past, peacocks with longer tail have survived better in the gene pool.
Those tails attract predators and parasites.
All those actually hurt gene pool survival.
A living peacock with longer tail must have strong capability to run and fight parasites from predators.
A male that show of wealth will often be killed with other males with less to display in their effort to get rid more desirable competitors.
