«Male reproductive strategies would better be served by screwing everything in sight, not locking things down.»
Only for the 20% of men, who monopolize the attractive women, not for the 80% of men, who end up alone or with a single mom
I have lived both situations. When I was young, I lived in *** and was part of the 80% (I am kind of Asperger-y). I was virgin at the age of 27. Not only virgin, I hadn’t even had a kiss with a woman.
When I was 27, I moved to ***, where I was part of the 20%, because of being foreigner ***. In the following 10 years, my number of couples got higher than 50. Now, 23 years later, I am married to a pleasant woman 20 years my junior, who adores me and treats me like a king.
(I don’t say this to brag. It is not because I am better than anybody. I took advantage of a niche, that’s all.)
I am satisfied but this is a recipe for societal disaster. Monogamy gives a woman for each man and this is the best for the stability and productivity of society. Removing restrictions favors young women and 20% of men. This is a society where a minority lives in a sexual paradise and the majority do not get anything. It’s the society we are transitioning to, which means the society will decline and be conquered by other (patriarchal) societies.
