Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that dominance among males is often decided on the basis of intrasexual competition in risky endeavors, such as physical fights or other forms of competition that gauge one's ability to take risks and succeed. This type of competition is thought to be typically associated with physical strength and other traits that are considered attractive to females. Factors such as occupational stature and financial earnings may also play a role in determining dominance, however, they are often not considered as important as physical strength and risk-taking ability. External details such as clothing or cars are not seen as major factors in determining dominance among males.
