If I understand correctly:
- if the woman is already attractive, then the higher status will make her even more attractive => beauty & mind (or trophy)
- if the woman is not so attractive, then the higher status will make her even LESS attractive => men don't like moderately attractive woman when they're smart (but it's ok if they're not so smart)
Is it really what the article says?
Conversaly, the higher the status of a women, the more her attractiveness is important for men: they can accept that a low status is more or less desirable, but a high status woman MUST be highly attractive too if she wants to get a man.
Simplistic explanation proposal: high status is still a man thing. They can accept that a "perfect" woman has it (they can't fight), but a moderatly attractive woman will be considered more like a lucky rival, so less attractive.
Just an idea... if I understand correctly the article summary
