Ideal acceptance thresholds for the two sexes in encounters under random search. Owing to the typical difference in PI, ranking males from highest to lowest quality typically generates a much higher ideal female acceptance threshold for (a) male quality than the corresponding ideal threshold for males when (b) females are ranked for quality. In many cases, males should accept all females, even those of lowest quality.
