If you didn"t compete it would be better: interference competition-one species interferes with the activities of another, another individual keeps you from a resource you need. Strategy to get females is to be physical with men: exploitation competition-one species reduced the availability of resources, other individual uses the same resource and keeps you from getting the resource. Strategy to get female is by seducing them. Individual can compete within the same species, and different species: eg.

Certain orchid flowers mimic female insects copulating males transfer pollen.
