The Captain (60%) to Firstmate (40%) is the ideal power configuration between men and women. Being Captain is entirely about holding Frame and has little to do with material circumstances.

This article is interesting in that it makes good points:

  • Thus the arc of a society can be observed in its treatment of marriage as that moves from barbaric to haremic to patriarchal to nuclear (currently transitioning to) disordered and eventually returning to barbaric.

  • An obvious question that arises is whether this arc can be interrupted. My sense is that this is only possible under conditions of resource shortage, because resource shortage drives people back towards community rather than individuality. This resource shortage can be imposed or natural.

So this becomes another sexual strategy that avoids the Beta Bucks problem entirely. You DON'T have to spend a decade slaving away to build up that nest egg only to marry and quickly lose it in a Divorce Rape. Instead you avoid this entirely by creating the children BEFORE the money.

If a young man (say 22) actually marries a young woman (say 21) and they immediately have children they will be under a resource shortage.

From woman's perspective all she sees is the Captain aspect of the man. As long as he holds Frame in this situation she is going to look up to him.

If she remains busy with those children her hamster will be occupied and this will keep her from being bored. She will literally be too tired to get into trouble.

Basically you have kids FIRST then worry about money after.

The Provider role takes the secondary position and being the Captain is the primary position.

This isn't "Alpha Bucks" because there is no money anywhere, but it's not "Beta Bucks" because the man is in the Captain role. A paternity test can spot "Alpha Fucks" if he happened to get his DNA into your family. If you can crank out 3-5 children with your DNA then you are "done" and "Alpha Fucks" really isn't a major threat anymore.

It's being Poor, but without degeneracy.
