Deadly Game Male Australian redback spiders who want to mate must provide exactly 100 minutes of courting or they are eaten by the giant female targets of their attention.

I had an ex that required $100 of wooing before any mating occurred.
She's my ex because she was charging others a lot less.

Maybe the smaller males are eaten less often because they are not enough of a meal to be worth the trouble.

Females of the Australian redback spider, one of the world's most poisonous spiders and a close relative to the black widow, demand 100 minutes of courting or else they usually cannibalize their male suitors, research finds. If your courtship ritual lasts 4 hours or more, please consult an arachnologist.

I'm betting the small male spiders have lots of money and drive a Ferrari.

100 minutes? That’s a short movie and a quick burger.
Works for me....sometimes...
