Dual-mating refers to a hypothesis that women have an innate mating strategy that involves two mates: A primary partner as [[long-term relationship|long-term]] support (a beta [[cuckold]]), and secondary sex partner of higher mate quality in order to get "good genes" for the offspring (an [[Chad|alpha male]]) by [[cuck|cuckolding]] | Dual-mating refers to a hypothesis that women have an innate mating strategy that involves two mates: A primary partner as [[long-term relationship|long-term]] support (a beta [[cuckold]]), and secondary sex partner of higher mate quality in order to get "good genes" for the offspring (an [[Chad|alpha male]]) by cheating on or [[cuck|cuckolding]] their primary partner.<ref>http://pillse.bol.ucla.edu/Publications/Pillsworth&Haselton_ARSR.pdf</ref> | ||
In recent times, this hypothesis was used to explain the rise of female infidelity<ref>http://www.fincham.info/papers/2017-infidelity.pdf</ref>, as well as seemingly higher rates of [[cuck|cuckoldry]] and also seemingly increasing rates of beta men providing for single mothers in their 30s or 40s [[pumped and dumped|after]] they had obtained a child from a more desirable male, which is dubbed [[alpha fucks, beta bucks]] (AF/BB), in the manosphere. | In recent times, this hypothesis was used to explain the rise of female infidelity<ref>http://www.fincham.info/papers/2017-infidelity.pdf</ref>, as well as seemingly higher rates of [[cuck|cuckoldry]] and also seemingly increasing rates of beta men providing for single mothers in their 30s or 40s [[pumped and dumped|after]] they had obtained a child from a more desirable male, which is dubbed [[alpha fucks, beta bucks]] (AF/BB), in the manosphere. | ||
More recently, however, the dual-mating strategy fell in disfavor in the scientific community for a number of reasons. One reason is that non-paternity rates are globally very low, even though contraceptives and relaxed marital norms should make AF/BB occur much more often if it was natural.<ref>https://labs.la.utexas.edu/buss/files/2013/02/The-Mate-Switching-Hypothesis-FINAL-PUBLISHED-2017.pdf (see Section 6)</ref> | More recently, however, the dual-mating strategy fell in disfavor in the scientific community for a number of reasons.
