I’m a surplus male

  • Actively trying to capture resources (through theft, banditry, organized crime, raiding, or other coercive/illegal means) → with the explicit goal of improving their socioeconomic position enough to become more competitive in the marriage market or in general social hierarchies.

This resource capture is framed as a rational (if antisocial) strategy to close the gap with higher-status, married men who have better access to wealth, status, and mates.

I think it's completely reasonable behaviour tbh @AlexBrown84

And you're not a surplus male by definition because you have resources from parents

I’d say it doesn’t close the gap if successful, simply replaces you at the top while putting someone else at the bottom

And im a surplus male as I have no value when it comes to getting women, the resource. That value being height and looks
