Disclaimer: I am not going to dispute the validity of AF/BB, since I have observed it happen in real life and don't think it's completely inaccurate. I do think that it isn't something that every woman does, and I also don't agree that a woman looking for a stable relationship is "used up" or "wants a weak provider."

Main question: if you believe that the AF/BB dichotomy happens more often than not, what is the end game for you RP men?

Women, at least, would seem to have a viable strategy under this definition of human behaviour. They sleep around when they're younger, tamp down a stable guy when they're older, and simultaneously build up enough of a social safety net that if they can't get who they want they'll be perfectly fine and comfortable on their own.

Men, on the other hand, don't seem to have much of a strategy. If you're operating with this in mind, how are you expecting to form a relationship with a woman later on without having it in the back of your mind that she's just using you? Or, if you repudiate marriage and monogamy, how long do you think you have to hit on college girls before you get too old? 10, 15 years?

Or... or is it possible that perhaps you really would like to form a lasting relationship with someone attractive and attracted to you after all, and so you keep trying to date, because in the back of your mind you suspect that you can cheat the AF/BB game (or maybe that it doesn't always happen)?
