      Actual reproductive success is better than simulated 'alpha' status. Tell your sons.

      Alpha sexual selection outbreeds and outbangs Beta sexual selection. If it’s all about reproduction preselection wins every time: https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2012/12/26/are-the-cads-outbanging-the-dads/ …pic.twitter.com/67WOo50IVh

      This makes no sense in evolutionary game theory terms. If 'cads' always outbred 'dads' in prehistory, the human 'dad' strategy would have gone extinct (as in many species). Common reproductive strategies must have had nearly-equal reproductive success, averaged across env'ts.

      There are ways around this, most notably female cuckoldry (proactive or retroactive). Women's sexual strategy plays a part in this too. If an Alpha can breed with more women, while Beta fathers accept parental investment of his kids it's a win-win-lose.

      In other words, the betas would quickly go extinct under your model. So why are they still around? Doesn't make sense.

          There's more than one reproductive strategy for men, as in strategic pluralism theory.

          Male psychopaths have more kids than average, but not every man is a psychopath.

          And psychopathy is a continuum, rather than binary. An intermediate manifestation is the manager who does not hesitate to fire underperforming people, does it often, and feels little to no remorse about it. In my life as a manager, I've often wished I had this ability.

          Not if e.g the lower 80% of males is ALWAYS forced into beta status (dad), and only the upper 20% can practice cad (alpha) lifestyle (the higher there more). This happens if all females shoot for the top. There will always be a pyramid. But: cultural norms can counteract that.

          I am sorry but you seem to be inferring that <<offspring of the top 20 percent sexually succesfull men (alphas) won't have a top 20 percent among themselves>>. That's an absurd conclusion to draw.
