This competitive, zero-sum dynamic sets off a competition among high-status men to hoard marriage opportunities, which leaves lower-status men out in the cold. Those men, denied access to lifes most stabilizing and civilizing institution, are unfairly disadvantaged and often turn to behaviors like crime and violence. The situation is not good for women, either, because it places them in competition with other wives and can reduce them all to satellites of the man. This describes life in the "inner city". We've all seen stories about this or that thug career criminal having a dozen kids by a dozen different women. The high-status "gangstas" get the women, and the low-status Burger King cooks get very little female attention.
