Fatherhood vs Sexual Selection Failure

It’s Father’s Day, so obviously I’m meant to dredge up some sort of platitude about fatherhood that makes everyone feel all warm and fuzzy about fatherhood.

Nah. Sex Rank and the Body Agenda is too brutal for that.

So lets compare two guys to each other. The first is a ”lowly Beta” with not much going for him other than a rather dull 4 wife. He’s only ever had sex with her and together they have a couple of funny looking kids. The second is a master of Game and attractive to boot. Sex with approximately 120 women lifetime total. Smart as a whip he dodges marriage and having children. Well save a near miss where a girlfriend got pregnant and he straight up told her to go fuck herself. She aborted the baby in the aftermath.

Well according to the tenets of evolutionary psychology, only one of these guys is any good at sex. That’s right, the lowly ugly Beta that has a couple of funny looking kids. Mr.Studly has a score of zero. He’s a sexual selection failure. Technically he’s an Omega Male based on his results.

Evolutionary psychology doesn’t care how many times you have sex. Evolutionary psychology doesn’t care how many women you sleep with. Evolutionary psychology doesn’t care how good looking the women you sleep with are if they aren’t fertile. All that matters is baby making results and then having those babies go on and make more little babies and so on and so on. Sex is not the goal it’s simply a means to an end.

So anyway… this whole marriage and fatherhood plodding along thing. It’s dull as can be some days no question. There are risks and pitfalls, but if you pay attention and play smart you can vastly increase the odds in your favor. For almost all of us it is the winning strategy for sexual selection.

Plus my wife makes me sandwiches.
