Only a small percentage of men are alpha-male leaders.
Once those men are taken, what are the rest of womankind to do?
(I already know how this works, but I wonder if the author and other women have thought of it)
Mate-poaching, polygyny and lesbianism?
I want to know.
I had this conversation with two of my teenage daughters today, discussing the "Captain Kirk" character. The Alpha Male who has plenty of women willing to sleep with him, has little incentive to settle down with any one women, because as soon as his current women starts giving him trouble, it's easy for him to shift to the next.
Yes, the alpha male could go after an alpha female, but for many it's just less work to bed a succession of beta females.
