Miqo'te Male/Female Relations and Views on Marriage

[Kotemon]

Given everything, the lore suggests their society is reflective to that of lions. One Alpha male and a whole lot of females that do all the work. That explains why so many males are loners or require several devoted females to start a new group. Unfortunately we all have the physical appearance to that of domestic cats instead.

You just hit the nail on the head, Kotemon. I was thinking about Sun Seeker tribe structure one night while trying to get to sleep, and I suddenly realized Seeker miqo'te tribes are just like lion prides. One or two alpha males, with a ton of females who do the work. I find that fascinating, and it gives me something to work on with my miqo'te rp-wise.

Well, from what I understand, the social structure of feral cat colonies is fairly similar to that of lion prides. Females remain in familial groups while the males wander to join different groups (including the same sort of fights between males for the chance to join those groups, and then to keep others from doing so and taking it from them). The similarity breaks down a bit in urban areas where the size of a colony may grow well beyond that of a pride, but that's a function of population and food supply levels more than the innate preferences of either cats or lions.

I never read this before about them? Mithra is FF11 were like this, the males you never seen and women only playable. The males were only for sleeping with and nothing else. I doubt they would be playable if they were the same as the FF11 males.

The males were few in number, guarded, and protected

....
Forgotten Springs is full of female hunters and one Miqo'te male, and the Couerlclaw in Gridania are all exclusively female. Can't think of many others but they seem like the minority.

There are two tias in forgotten springs also.

The structure of the Courelclaws is aberrant. This is made clear in a post moogle quest.
