Why cut down the pool of prospective partners?

It's quite simple. This is all entirely due to the sexual revolution and the loss of stigma for premarital sex. Young people are told "everyone's having sex". This becomes true for women as 80% of women are able to sleep with men, but they are mostly sleeping with the same 10% of alpha males. Meanwhile there's a large group of males becoming increasingly angry that they aren't able to partake in what "everyone" is doing.

The funny thing is that women believe that this new found feminism empowers them to make "choices" and yet statistically they behave almost exactly like chimps.

When I was growing up, although we didn’t think of it in those terms, we all aspired to be what our fathers were and most of our fathers were Alphas. Virtually every adult male I knew when I was a child was a WWII veteran. Our role models in the movies were all Alphas - John Wayne, Lee Marvin, John Payne, Anthony Quinn, Charles Bronson, Lloyd Nolan

Today, boys are raised to be Betas, given drugs to suppress their natural male behaviors rather than teaching them discipline or even the difference between right and wrong.

There are no real Alpha male role models in pop culture. Instead we have Sean Penn, Leo DeCaprio, Bruce Jenner and a handful of cartoonish anti-heroes who have problems distinguishing good from evil and right from wrong. Fathers in popular entertainment are always portrayed as bumbling dweeb Beta males.

Why?
