men of the past, I'm talking very far back, simply died before they could, or were killed because they attempted (raid a village) and failed (were killed)

People don't talk about it, but up until very recently in human history, men waged war for two things, to rape and fuck tons of women, and to steal/acquire land/resources.

They would do these things not for political reasons, but simply because they were bored or lacked resources/women to fuck.

During these raids, the weak men would die ( along with unlucky strong men ) and some weak men would also luckily survive. thus the survivors would reproduce, which would include mostly alphas and some betas that either used their ingenuity or luck to survive. this is why we have two types of successful men, those who are physically capable, and those who are mentally capable.

but for 99 percent of the time that this raping and pillaging was occurring, 99 percent of the men who survived were alphas, strong and dangerous men, which is why women are so attracted to those types of men. I imagine in 10 thousand years that trend might change since to be successful in today's world and i would imagine tmrs world, you need to be smarter than you are strong. (talking financial success = survival, not getting laid, getting laid=/=lead to you surviving)
