Question

females pay particular attention to those signals at which males cannot cheat

^- what is meant by: at which males cannot cheat. What is an example of this?

Answer 1

Grammatically it reads to me that the signals can't be cheated by the males. So things that happen naturally, and can't be replicated on command.
I'm not sure the context of the situation, but something that would fall into the idea of something that can't be cheated would be like digestion. You do it, but you can't do it because you feel like it, you have no control over it. The males in question here have no control over the signals.

Now can you expand on the context? Otherwise I for one can't think of examples since I don't know what we're talking about.

Answer 2

ya could u explain a little better?

Answer 3

This is with regards to mating. That is the context. Given that, what does it mean by cheating?

Answer 4

A signal which someone can't cheat is a signal which the person that gives off can't recognize therefore he can't cheat it. That would be my cup of te.
Cheating in regard to mating, well uhm i suppose males have it a tiny bit harder to conceal that fact that they're arroused compared to females.

I don't fully understand the question in what context/scenario you wish to place it, animal kingdom, human society etc.. If this does not answer your question please provide a carefully constructed scenario.

Answer 5

I think what QRAwarrior is looking for is something like a signal a woman picks up on from a man. Thinks he exudes or does that he has no control over. That's what the question means by cheating QRAwarrior. It can't be replicated because the guy wants to.

Like maybe pheremones. Those can't be replicated. They are a biological thing. Something a man or woman has zero control over.
That's the only thing I can think of at the moment, but there are a whole bunch more I'm sure.

Answer 6

We don't exactally know how Phermones work in humans except some speculations i've read that phermones are whats responsible for a group of females which spends much time together gets their periods syncronized.
To my knowlegde males don't really have any exclusive tells beyond arrousal. I can only of Psycholigcal tells if a male is lying, cheating. But they're unilateral between both sexes pretty much.

For instance if a woman is acussing a man of cheating and he is not, he will resort to logic. While if he is cheating, he will belitter her claim. i.e (dont be ridiculous).

When the woman when faces with a false accusation of cheating would react calmly and most likely reassuring that everything is fine and she's not cheating. If she in fact is cheating she would react hastly angerily at the accusation of cheating and redirect the interigation at the male. i.e (Don't you trust me, how could you think such a thing of of).

Of course there is more to it than that, but for illustrative purposes i think this should be sufficiant example.

An example of a signal where a female cannot cheat is that of female baboons signaling ovulation through sex skin:

"...short period of sexual activity called estrus (Beach 1976), which occurs cyclically and is signaled by large sexual swellings on a female’s posterior that correspond to the period around ovulation"
