"Instead of trying to win a fight like the other males, these smaller males masquarade as females; basically crossdressing in order to get past the bigger males, and move into rather cozily among the females. This works very well, because the larger males tend to ignore and be fooled by these “females”, and let them move away from the fights. Even when a male is guarding a female cuttlefish from other males, he is often fooled by “female” cuttlefish, and he basically lets the female cheat on him.
Females, on the other hand, have a higher chance of mating with the crossdressing males. Would it be because they are impressed by how clever these “females” are, or is it simply because the masquarading males can just get closer to them than the larger males?"
So in order to get with chicks who are out of our league, one strategy is to pretend to be female and get close to them unexpectedly. There is so much we can learn from nature.
