Bit like the clever monkeys letting the alpha-male defend the pack, get into the blazing fights but then quietly shagging away while the alpha-male sleeps.
Depends if it is a perceived social position in the heirarchy that you crave from your peers - or the actual rewards 
Being so one-dimensionally an alpha male is also a weakness.
More than one way to skin a cat.

I agree with you in that case Davey, but was only using humans as an example due to the confusion earlier since people hadn't a clue wtf I was on about
. Since you guys know what I am referring to now let's use the whole animal kingdom in this discussion and you will see that your theory is flawed because in the animal kingdom the top dog/alpha male is the only one allowed to breed with the rest of the females until someone either beats challenges/beats him or he dies from injuries.
