ToughDiamond said it very well. The way I might phrase it - we're a Darwinian species, anything that matters at a deep level to physical bodies - like death and sex - is existential in it's level of importance, also zero-sum, and because of that the rules of civility tend to go out the window rather easily.
It is "zero-sum" only if you believe that the desirability of potential partners is not at all subjective, but can be measured on a single absolute scale.
