*Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif, a Morocco monarch had a harem of 500 women, and registered 525 boy births and 342 girls.

*''Feodor Vassilyev'' was a peasant farmer from Shuya, Russia. His first [[wife]] is claimed to have lived to be 76 and, between 1725 and 1765, had 69 children (16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets); 67 of them survived infancy with the loss of one set of twins—the record for most children born to a single woman. Just marrying a farmer is hence the optimal strategy for reproductive success in females, because a farmer is low in objective social status but has plenty of objective resources. Food, land, water, and shelter. Because he is low in status, he has little choice but to be a faithful partner or a serial [[monogamy|monogamist]]. Which means more time getting his [[wife]] pregnant, and more children birthed. Basically he is a [[betabux]]. Mothers will encourage their daughters to marry a [[betabux]] provider, to maximize reproductive success, later though, [[cock carousel|after enjoying life thoroughly]]. | *''Feodor Vassilyev'' was a peasant farmer from Shuya, Russia.
