They don't have more kids, anymore. Married women have the highest fertility.
And the statistics for fatherless children are dismal, across the board. It's not a death-sentence, but they all suffer from it.
As far as I know (and I've looked!), there are no statistics where fatherless children outperform those raised in the house with their dad. Unless you consider "being more likely to commit suicide or be murdered" as outperforming.
Example:

Well i didn't say fatherless. That's a total different thing. I said parents who don't really care.
Those two things tend to correlate. Parents try very hard to stay together, when they care.
Exactly. Players don't try to stay together because of the children. That's exactly my point. They make a kid, when the situation becomes demanding the divorce. Then a kid with another partner, both women and men. Then divorce again. Having kids is not a measure for quality. Not at all
It actually is, as sustainable marriages are the most fertile.
There are different methods for achieving "kids" or even "more kids", but the most reliable path is to just find one woman and treat her well-enough to stick around. That's why men have evolved to treat women well.
Sustainable happy marriages have become quite uncommon. All of that is a wishful thinking.
But sustainable happy marriages can be a measure of quality. I bet you are doing quite well on that.
