While I understand that TRP is primarily focused on sexual strategy, it should be noted that sexual strategy is tied to reproductive strategy (duh). So assuming a man wants to pass on his genes at some point what options are we left with?

Marriage is a bad idea for men.

So then what? Create a single mom? Child support can be anything from crippling to annoying depending on income level, and nothing quite adheres you to that 40 hour a week job as well as child support super glue.

Marry a non-western woman (Asia, Eastern Europe, maybe South America)? This seams to have some weight as an option, however I can see some major draw backs. First and foremost an advanced marriage time table.

A non-marital co-habitation arrangement in a non common-law marriage state? Seams like a good idea in theory, but probably will eventually result in child support.

Impregnate a married woman and let her beta raise your child? This seams to me like a high-risk high-reward strategy. It could get pretty messy pretty quick. Plus if you subscribe at all to the idea that environmental factors affect personality then you might not want Mr. Beta to raise your child, even if it is financially advantageous.

Spinning plates is fine and fun, ONS and bar hook-ups great, but if a man actually wants to pass on his genes what is his best option?
