Coy
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

“It pays for males to be aggressive, hasty, fickle and undiscriminating. In theory it is more profitable for females to be coy, to hold back until they can identify males with the best genes… Human beings obey this biological principle faithfully” (1978, 125). --On Human Nature (1978) by E.O. Wilson |
