Except that a lot of risky male behavior doesn't impress most women. Maybe it impresses other risky-behaving men though, and the respect those risky-behaving men show the risk taker translates into more desirability from women.

It may not impress women, but there are lots of studies which show that men expand a lot more energy in engaging risk-related behavior when other females are around. Whether this is biologically adaptable or not may be a question which needs to be probed further, but risk-related behavior and competition have been closely linked in humans...

Seems to me a bit like the adversarial networks used to train AI.

Of course, you want an adversarial network that's difficult to trick, otherwise the training will produce suboptimal results.

It only has to impress a few women to pay off.
