ok I'll be more explicit (wishing I could find an article cite but I've stoned that data out of my head apparently) most species are only r or K strategists. some species, however, have _both_ variants in the same population, in different proportions. Humans are like this.

in species with external fertilization (a lot of fish) the K strategist males are Chad-like. large and strong and attractive to females. the r strategist males are Virgin-like. small and shy and mostly unattractive to females. how do they reproduce?

by cheating, that's how. they wait for a K-male to pair with a female and they rush in and skeet at just the right opportune moment to get some of their juice mixed in with the Chad juice and some fraction of the eggs are gonna be little baby Virgins.

now extrapolate this to human physiology. what does that look like? looks a lot like PUA culture tbh.

sure, the r strategy isn't about maximizing the amount of pleasurable fucking you get to do, it's about maximizing your chances of spreading your genes on somebody else's resource tab

wait wait wait, aktschually r-selection is about low parental investment, K-selection is about high parental investment -- it's nothing to do with Chads, Virgins, alphas, betas, etc.

I'm a K-strategist household, so I got more legos than you though.

K strategy = each kid gets more legos r strategy = each kid gets less legos but dad gets more
