Taking A Second Look
If You Think The Revolt Of The Nerds vs The Alphas Is New, Think Again
By now even the alpha males realize the nerds have been crowding their act with the female of the species. In terms of both sex and success. For every LeBron James or Donald Trump there are dozens of nerdy successes like Gates, Zuckerberg, Jobs, and Spielberg. When did the tide turn?Actually about 4 million years ago, fellas.
According to a team of biomathematicians from the University of Tennessee: "The most important sexual revolution happened when the alphas overplayed their testosterone with the females." While the toughs conquered and kept their women by power, the weaker males conquered them by cunning.
Sound familiar?
Similar to the monkey populations, some hominids learned to shower a particular female with food and attentions. In time these females rewarded their providers with both their bodies and their fidelity. Head researcher Sergey Gavrilets writes in this month's Los Angeles Times: "Without the romantic strategy devised by the more sensitive pre-historlc males, we wouldn't have the modern family."
To be sure, today's females still find hunks attractive. But their habit of marrying the less-hunky-more- sensitive suitors has little to do with being recently "emancipated." In evolutionary terms, the female of the species was emancipated long long ago. Some of them just never told us.
But then what about all those glitz paparazzi stories about Drop-Dead-Gorgeous-Female-Celebrity gliding down the wedding aisle [in white, no less!] with Breathlessly-Beautiful-Stud-Male-Celebrity? Lets put is this way. In evolutionary terms, don't hold your breath waiting for any silver anniversary stories.
Maybe it's true what they say: "Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts." Who says that? Those hominids who have learned to understand the difference. end quote from:

There are also what I might call the Alpha nerds or the Nerd Alphas. I have noticed the handsome or pretty ones with brains seem to do the best. However, that being said both Alpha Males and Alpha females don't have the best track record when it comes to staying faithful or married. So, I think I agree with the premise of the story. Just look around at famous alphas males and females especially if they are married. How many of those marriages last? And what becomes of their children? This is an important consideration. Because in the end if you are a parent you aren't worth much if your kids don't come first. Otherwise it might be better not to have kids at all. So, to me, whether you are a nerd or an alpha or a combination of both if you have kids their well being has to come first.
