Have to go pretty far the evolutionary tree to find an animal species where Betas can score.

I was going to post, but I’m too shy...

The alpha types Can be all strut and no (or only maybe one) fruck. Either way, the quieter betas tend to be far more loyal - increasing the chances for long term relationships

Yeah, take your cues on how to live from the animals. What could go wrong?

[varyouga]

Females evolved to use the betas for shelter, food and a shoulder to cry on “long term”. They can see a beta as a “friend” but not someone whose seed they want. They crave the alpha genes subconsciously. It is the most optimal program for breeding humans:

Females get alpha genes AND a caretaker.

Alpha males their genes passed down through multiple females.

Beta males get slowly eliminated from the gene pool while they contribute to raising the alpha’s children.

Wasn't this covered in the last fifteen minutes of Revenge of the Nerds?

Shy guys make the best LOVERS: Timid hermit crabs found to be better mates than those who are bolder

Darn right we do!

[I want the USA back]

Nothing stupider than a “scientist” who applies tests on crabs to humans.

[tanknetter]

This.

Any comments from Herman’s Hermits?

What about a timid hermit who HAS crabs?

Because hey, I need love too.
