Low quality males become more religious when facing competition with high quality males

I'd bet that, if the experiment were repeated, but instead of measuring "religiousity" it measured "relationship faithfulness", that you'd have the same result. It's the "those guys are better than me, but I won't cheat on you" strategy.

Jesus is their wingman.

The majority of red pill type women in the USA are religious. They are the ones who are more likely to stay at home and tend the house the problem is most of them are very judgemental (that's what attracts them to this life. So if you could find a girl with a good soul that is your best bet.

I wonder if this occurs among polygamous religious sects. It makes complete sense among most Christians, but what about within say the polygamous portions of Mormonism?

I thought one of the major points of religion and marriage being created (at least Abrahamic religions) was to allow all betas to reproduce, so they will have a stake in society and be willing to work? So instinctively they are clinging to the thing that will help them have a chance to pass on their genes.

This makes a lot of sense, considering that the grand majority of religions discourage the concept of the primal (alpha) self, instead pushing for extreme humility in males.

Having been raised Mormon, up to the age of 17, it was always drilled into us that "the natural man is an enemy to god". This has a great appeal to super nice guy betas because it gives them further reinforcement to view primal males negatively, while perceiving their own behavior as morally superior and unjustly victimized. This plus being raised in a single mother household doomed me for years of deep rooted beta conditioning.

Replace "Religious" with "Monogamous" and I think the article would be a whooooooole lot more accurate.

I'm not sure if this is a quality contribution to the conversation but... A lot of the engineers at the place I use to work at were pretty loser-ish. They all had 2 major things in common. They were all white christian dudes, and they all had hot wives.

I haven't thought much about it but I can only assume that their is pretty slim pickins in that kind of religious community so those guys probably alpha in comparison. A friend of mine who I worked with would always joke about how we should've started going to church and just to fuck every chick there.

Not gonna gripe. A very religious beta scores himself a decent traditional value religious gal. One worthy and content being a stay at home mom and does cooking and cleaning

I think that "religiosity" is essentially a proxy for "monogamy" here.

It's one of those problems that people don't really think about until it happens to them. Lots of people support ideal Libertarianism, but would probably recant their statements upon seeing the results of such a political system. Lots of people are also in favor of monogamy, but upon seeing the potential results (of attractive men getting all the play), quickly change their mind.

What would be interesting is seeing how the trend varied dependent on the participant's attractiveness. I would expect the taller, more physically attractive males to report less religiosity, since they're already at the top of the heap. I'm not sure how the women would turn out, though, since polygamy benefits high value men and low value women, while this study essentially says that both men and women overall are intimidated by polygamy.

this makes no mention of the quality of the person responding. the point was to create a sense of a high or low male:female ratio, not a sense of respective quality.

This sounds like before I started swallowing the red pill. In high school I was the one that wouldn't cheat and would stay faithful. Learned my lesson after getting dumped on a few times.

After seeing the types of guys I've seen girls with it's enough to make anyone WANT to believe in a fiery torment after death for promiscious people.

Makes sense. When people can't compete on a level playing field, they want artificial rules to tilt the field in their favor.
