O.K. It took me long enough to realize what you were saying.

The reason I think the other Male Lions of The Pride Lands are not members of Simba's Pride is because we never see them at Pride Rock. I have to assume this is because that way there is no potential direct challenge to The Royal Bloodline, from within The Pride Lands. I belive these other Males are Simba's Bannermen not an actual part of the The Pride, but loyal to Simba. In return for this loyalty I belive Simba allowes his Bannermen to Associate with his Lionesses. Hence Tiifu and Zuri's Fathers are explained. As such an arangment is benifical to Simba's Lionesses. As Simba and Nala are a married couple, He would not provied the services to his Lionesses that a Lion in a real life pride would.

So why didn't Simba call uppon his Bannermen when The Outsiders attacked in Lion King 2? Either he did not have enough time to send out the call?

Or more likely he though his Pride was up to the task of defeating The Outsiders.
