If this is true, here’s an alternate theory: Males are hardwired to seek female approval because it’s exclusively a female who first kept them alive.
This attempt to make it about ‘game’ is not a healthy reading. And, again, gotta stress it sounds pretty fake in the first place. There are very few arenas where males are inheritently superior and ‘let’ females have success. Period.
Clarifying: Because females don’t need to be ‘given’ success by underperforming males was the point there, not that males often won’t underperform. The more I learn of history and understand reality in all its forms around me, the more I realize how much destruction by the incompetent to avoid natural outcomes has permeated narratives in humanity.
