If you train and compete in combat sports — and win — you're not just building strength; you're tapping directly into a 300,000-year-old intrasexual selection mechanism that evolution hardwired into the female human brain. You're signaling dominance, competence, and survivability — traits that women have subconsciously selected for since the beginning of our species.
“Mating rights” is a biological term referring to access to reproduction, usually won through competition.
In nature, especially among animals (and historically in human evolution), individuals — often males — compete with each other for dominance. The “winners” of these contests gain status, territory, or the attention of mates, which increases their chances of passing on their genes.
In humans, these ancient patterns still linger:
Our brains evolved in a world where strength, coordination, and dominance impacted reproductive success, and sports can still activate that part of us.

- Lions: Males fight to control a pride. Only the dominant male gets to mate.
- Deer: Bucks lock antlers and battle during mating season to impress or win access to females.
- Birds of Paradise: Some don’t fight but perform elaborate dances or displays to attract mates (like a gymnastics routine).
- Chimpanzees: Dominance hierarchies determine who gets access to mating partners.
Human Evolutionary Psychology Angle:
In humans, these ancient patterns still linger:
- Status and dominance often influence perceived attractiveness.
- Sports, especially physically physical or combative ones, can act as modern proxies for these ancient displays.
- The “alpha male” image in sports — strong, successful, competitive — is evolutionarily tied to those who could fight for or win mating opportunities.
Our brains evolved in a world where strength, coordination, and dominance impacted reproductive success, and sports can still activate that part of us.
