Bids (or biddys) resemble cucks in that they put resources into a relationship which does not benefit their own progeny, either caring for another man's young or putting resources into a woman who is sleeping with other men.

Bids often engage in "cuckold fetishism" where they roleplay that they are being cheated on, but that isn't real cuckolding, just like rape roleplay is not real rape. That said, bids often get cucked for real, as their foids do not respect them and will easily step outside the "boundaries" the bid thinks he can set for her.

The etymology of bids is a shortening from the 2nd syllable of cebidae, a family of monkeys including the subfamily callitridae which includes the polyandrous marmoset/tamarin monkeys who become pathetic "non-reproductive helpers" while their polyandrous "mates" only allow the Chad monkeys to impregnate them.
