I was reading one of the top posts today about mixing alpha and beta traits and being the sort of "daddy" for women, an Alpha Bux or Alpha Provider.

There has been said here in this subreddit A LOT of times that women have a dualistic sexual strategy. The famous Alpha Fux/Beta Bux. They look for good genetics, dominant traits, etc. for short term mating. And security, emotinal and material support for long term relationships.

The Alpha Provider would be a unicorn for women, he would be both alpha and beta.

Don't fool yourself, there is no Alpha Provider, when you put yourself in the provider role you are using Beta Bux strategy. Which is a legitimate strategy, as it was pointed out in the other post, it is a necessary strategy for long term relationship.

But, I don't really know why, a lot of recent TRP posts seem to forget about the current state of western society. Being BB these days is a very poor strategy, don't ever forget that you are putting a lot more than you should in the relationship most of the time.

The captain/first-mate dynamic that is heavily advocated by the married TRP actually does work in my opinion. But for it to be profitable for the man it needs social support, something that it lacks in our current society.

If you are getting in a LTR or getting married, remember that you are giving a lot more than you are receiving by just plating.
