No amount of coping can deal with the Fisherian Runaway Effect.
It states that females will inherently prefer dimorphic traits at the cost of the entire species health and longevity. Peacocks developed their extremely large plumage due to sexual selection, not natural selection. The same case likely applies with sabre tooth tigers in regards to their overdeveloped fangs.
One interesting fact is that the Irish elk very likely went extinct because of sexual selection.

Antlers
Researchers had given several theories when it came to the evolution of their antlers. They had antlers of suitable size in correlation to their massive body structure. It is believed that the antlers increased in size under strong and constant sexual selection.
Males are known to use their antlers in combat with other male specimens. Some theory suggests that their horns were morphologically not well suited for battles. However, they were great for intimidating dominant rival males and attracting females.
Reproduction
The mating system of this species is not known. The sexual dimorphism via the antlers suggests intra-sexual combat, intra-sexual displays, large mating congregations and polygyny. In such a system, breeding should not be an issue irrespective of male/female ratio.
Extinction
Their antler size and sexual selection had always been the focus of discussion even when it came to the cause of their extinction. Fossil samples, collected from Ballybetagh bog, in Ireland, suggest that males and females went isolated from each other during winters. It suggests that they had behaviors such as polygynous and rutting mating systems. Recent studies suggest that the reproductive energetics of females could be a contributing factor in the elimination of this species.
Another theory is habitat degradation that triggered a nutritional stress, mainly among males. Their adaptation to mineral metabolism (as high amounts of phosphate and calcium compounds are important to form antlers) in natural diet altered with the loss of habitat.
... so blackpilled science says that the Irish elk went extinct due to insufficient calcium leading to osteoporosis, all because females preferred larger antlers. just lol.
We can relate all of this to people at the end of the day. Women prefer men with larger muscles/frame, and height especially. Men are under the constant strain of Briffault’s Law (sexual selection), which means that standards regarding male beauty will always be rising so long as the reign of feminism is underway. Today’s Chads are the next century’s incels due to Fisherian Runaway

Irish Elk Facts, Habitat, Pictures, Behavior, Antlers and Range
The Irish Elk, belonging to family Cervidae, is an extinct mammal. In contrary to its name, the Irish Elk was neither an Elk (belonging to the same group as North American Elk or the European Elk, which is popularly known as Moose in Northern America) nor it was exclusively found in or around...
