Evolutionarily speaking, it is in the best interest of the female to be impregnated by the man with the best genetics i.e. the most alpha man (who is usually the tallest, strongest, most intelligent and socially dominant man). This ensures that her offspring will inherit these superior genetics.
However, throughout history, the female had always faced a problem in this situation - the chance that the alpha male will commit solely to looking after only her and her offspring is very low, as he is most likely spending his time impregnating other women.
This is where the beta male comes in. The beta male is starved for sex, and the female knows this. The beta male is willing to provide resources and energy in exchange for sex.
The ideal situation is for the female is to be impregnated by an alpha male, whilst getting a beta male to commit to providing for her by tricking him that into thinking that the child is actually his.
It's always been like this, and this is not going away anytime soon. You cannot fight biology.
