=== [[Strategic pluralism|The Dual Mating Strategy]] === | |||
Dual-mating refers to a hypothesis that women have an innate mating strategy that involves two mates: One for securing a [[long-term relationship|supportive long-term]] partner (a beta [[cuckold]]), and one to obtain superior genes for the offspring from (an [[Chad|alpha male]]).<ref>http://pillse.bol.ucla.edu/Publications/Pillsworth&Haselton_ARSR.pdf</ref> | |||
In recent time, this hypothesis was used to explain seemingly higher rates of [[cuck|cuckoldry]], but also seemingly increasing rate of beta men providing for single mothers in their 30s or 40s [[pumped and dumped|after]] they had obtained a child from a ([[alpha fucks, beta bucks]], AF/BB).{{Citation needed}} | |||
More recently, however, the dual-mating strategy fell in disfavor for a number of reasons. One reason is that non-paternity rates are very low globally,<ref>https://labs.la.utexas.edu/buss/files/2013/02/The-Mate-Switching-Hypothesis-FINAL-PUBLISHED-2017.pdf (see Section 6)</ref> | |||
e.g. only 3% of all children in the U.S. live with a step father.<ref>https://ifstudies.org/blog/more-than-60-of-u-s-kids-live-with-two-biological-parents/</ref> | |||
Dual-mating was at most be a minor strategy in evolution, if it is an evolved adaptation at all. | |||
Of course, it still holds true that women tend to date up, and that they are choosy, but the vast majority of the time they obtain both genes and support from the same partner. | |||
