* Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif, a Moroccan monarch had a harem of 500 women, and registered 525 boy births and 342 girls. After his death, a total of 1171 children were counted.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_the_most_children</ref> So "[[Platitude|just be a king]]" or "[[pump and dump]]" is clearly the optimal strategy for men's reproductive success, since women prefer men of [[hypergamy|high status]]. | * Moulay Ismail ibn Sharif, a Moroccan monarch had a harem of 500 women, and registered 525 boy births and 342 girls.

In fact, Men's social status accounts for 62% of the variance of copulation opportunities.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Men.27s_social_status_accounts_for_62.25_of_the_variance_of_copulation_opportunities</ref> | ||
* Religion can also provide a viable strategy to maximize their reproductive success. For instance, men who achieve positions of prominence in certain polygamist religions (such as the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints, aka the Mormons) often have plentiful reproductive options at their disposal. For instance, the Mormon leader and the founder of Salt Lake City, Brigham Young, had 18 wives and 56 children.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigham_Young</ref> A more recent Mormon fundamentalist leader, Paul Elden Kingston, may have up to 300 children with 27 wives (including three half sisters of his).<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Elden_Kingston</ref> | * Religion can also provide a viable strategy to maximize their reproductive success.

* Dr. Bertold Paul Wiesner (1901–1972) was an Austrian physiologist noted for being biological father to about 600 offspring by anonymously donating sperm ''used by his wife'' to perform ''artificial insemination'' on women at her private fertility practice in London, England.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertold_Wiesner</ref> | * Dr. Bertold Paul Wiesner (1901–1972) was an Austrian physiologist noted for being biological father to about 600 offspring by anonymously donating sperm ''used by his wife'' to perform ''artificial insemination'' on women at her private fertility practice in London, England.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertold_Wiesner</ref> | ||

* The first [[wife]] of ''Feodor Vassilyev'', a peasant farmer from Shuya, Russia, claimed to have birthed 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.<ref>https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-prolific-mother-ever?fb_comment_id=84106/</ref> Marrying a farmer is hence clearly the optimal strategy for women's reproductive success, because a farmer is low in social status, so he has little choice but to be a faithful partner (high-investment strategy), yet he has plenty of objective resources, food, land, water, and shelter.

* Different from men, high status women have less reproductive success than low status women, and always had, because women are [[hypergamy|biologically programmed]] to avoid dating down, and the higher their status is, the fewer men fulfill this requirement.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_lose_mating_opportunities_with_higher_status.2C_men_gain_mating_opportunities</ref> | * Different from men, high status women have less reproductive success than low status women, and always had, because women are [[hypergamy|biologically programmed]] to avoid dating down, and the higher their status is, the fewer men fulfill this requirement.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_lose_mating_opportunities_with_higher_status.2C_men_gain_mating_opportunities</ref> | ||
* Low IQ women have the highest reproductive success among females.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_and_intelligence</ref> Hence, teenage high-IQ women can inject themselves with exogenous testosterone to lower their adult IQ and increase reproductive success, since testosterone is IQ suppressant for women at high levels.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9845018</ref> | * Low IQ women have the highest reproductive success among females.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_and_intelligence</ref> Hence, teenage high-IQ women can inject themselves with exogenous testosterone to lower their adult IQ and increase reproductive success, since testosterone is IQ suppressant for women at high levels.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9845018</ref> | ||
