You see this in school playgrounds – a bunch of girls hanging out together who are a mixture of the flirty and the shy, the latter gaining comfort from the protection afforded by their more extrovert and glamorous companions.
Researchers studying a species of small freshwater fish called the Trinidadian guppy found that females chose to swim in groups with others more attractive than themselves and so reduced the constant harassment and frequent mating attempts for which male guppies have a reputation.
The burden on females from the persistent unwanted male advances can be so great that they have difficulty finding food or escaping from predators. Female guppies are “receptive” to mating for a few days each month during which they emit a segxwal pheromone that attracts males.
