The fate of men has never been easy, even in a time when uncompromising patriarchy ruled. That burden of responsibility and obligations was such a heavy load for many that they were actually unable to engage in a partnership. Even though humans as a species tend to lean towards pair bonding, women are genetically predisposed to seek out the most successful alpha males, leaving the less dominant and less successful ones sadly standing alone. The protagonist of this short story tried cunningly to bypass this, but he encountered the limits of his capabilities. Overall impression of this ironic spectacle: 90%.
