The AF/BB is frequently employed by females in the West. They often are having sexual relations with "hot" guys while in their 20s (probably under the assumption they can get commitment eventually) and often switch to beta male providers by late 20s to 30s when they get more "desperate" to find a mate.

The "provider" male is then put in a situation where he has a low N count by his 30s (sexually inexperienced compared to female equivalent) and is now being pushed into a marriage type relationship that employs utilization of his income/assets in the future to support his future CC riding wife.

Under this system, why wouldn't it be better for the "provider" male to just run a younger harem of SBs? It seems like a far cheaper model that doesn't risk his assets, gives him sex with younger/hotter women, etc. If he is going to be used for money, why not be a sugar daddy rather than beta male in marriage?

My perspective is marriage is mostly obsolete for these types of men (probably for all men in general) and their best strategy would be to employ the sugar daddy model.
