Key insight: being perceived to be good at pickup might actually help you be good at pickup.

Speaking as a poly guy, this also explains a lot: being perceived as being worthy enough to maintain three consensual relationships with full knowledge of all parties actually improves your sexual fitness in terms of initiating a new relationship. This is counterintuitive but explains a lot.

The sexy son hypothesis is in essence that females prefer some trait because females prefer that trait. It's circular and implies that these preferred traits are completely arbitrary. No evolutionary biologist seriously believes this anymore.
