Why women are more likely not to get on with a lot more attractive women

Have you ever wondered why extremely attractive women recieve a lot of animosity from females? A few tv stars come to mind. We can trace back this thought process to prehistoric times, and to an extent throughout hisotry until the present day.

In prehistoric times especially the hirarchy was very much confirmed and a bit more rigid than today. The most attractive woman in a tribe generally was in a relationship with the most attractive man. Having the looks and personality caused by high-levels of oestrogen to attract the alpha-male meant that the woman would live usually a much more pleasant life, with the alpha-male theoretically the best at hunting so he could bring back the most food to the family.

This sounds very trivial and may sound like it makes little difference, but in extreme circumstances where there was a famine or even an ice-age the mate you attracted could make the difference between life and death because of how much food he provided because of hunting.

When a lot of women see someone on television for example, who appears to be a lot more attractive than themselves, they instictively see them as the alpha-female and makes their chances of attracting an alpha-male less likely. In this case it would mean they are shifted lower down on the hireachy and therefore be more likely to be in a relationship with someone who is less masculine and therefore have worse skills of hunting (directly linked with high amounts of testosterome).

We can see these examples today, but instead of hunting for food we see it with earning money. There may be jealousy felt towards this alpha-female that she does not have to work, because the alpha-male makes so much money.

This may also explain why there is less animosity towards men who are the most attractive or the alpha-males for people of male gender. It might even be seen as a good thing because the alpha-male would contribute the most food within a tribe, and the importance of attracting an attractive woman is less likely to be the difference between life and death.
