While watching discovery or animal planet, it is quite evident that the male species of different animals take the pain of developing skills and/or equipments to attract the female. They own tusk or facial hair or bright colored feathers etc. They have to fight against similar male counter parts who are competing for the same female.
However, there is a drastic difference in case of human beings. Seems like the roles are reversed. We see the amount of effort placed by female to groom up is considerably more than the male counter part. One reason could have been with the male female ratio. In days when war was frequent and dispute were settled over a fight, male population should have been very low, which would have lead to polygynous. In such a world, it made sense for girls to show up bright and beautiful, - not only for finding a guy but to keep him interested after finding.
The modern world is changing. The gender ratio is skewing towards the other side. In India it is very low that already we are seeing the side effects like 'buying the bride', polyandry. May be in the future, guys will get back their natural instinct of shinning up for meeting the girl.
