Blackpill: Difference between revisions

The blackpill has the following central themes, each of which is related to one or more of the factors above:

Women place a minimum threshold of physical attractiveness on potential mates before they are willing to consider anything else about them.<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40806-017-0092-x</ref>  Women also lie about the degree of importance of physical attractiveness.<ref>https://www.livescience.com/58607-mens-looks-may-matter-more-than-personality.html</ref> Women are also seemingly more choosy about looks, e.g. they rate 80% of men as below [[Decile|5/10]] with a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_normal_distribution skewed distribution] both in online dating and non-online dating, whereas men rate women [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution normally].<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_rate_80.25_of_men_as_.22below_average.22.2C_while_men_rate_women_on_a_bell_curve</ref> The common bluepilled objection to women being shallow about looks in online dating is that in real life women would care about personality and that one could easily make up for bad looks with a good personality. Sadly, various studies showed looks are the only factor to predict initial romantic interest,<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2005-11095-001</ref> and they are only slightly less important in long-term dating.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22468419</ref> Looks are highly heritable as well, so even though life style like bodybuilding can improve looks, most of it is not under our control.<ref>https://www2.psy.uq.edu.au/~uqbziets/Mitchem%20et%20al%202013%20Estimating%20the%20sex-specific%20effects%20of%20genes%20on%20facial%20attractiveness%20and%20sexual%20dimorphism.pdf</ref>  Men's attractiveness and masculinity also predict a woman's chance of orgasm.<ref>https://putslab.la.psu.edu/documents/Puts%20et%20al.%20EHB%202012-1.pdf</ref> While not as drastic as women's ratings on OkCupid suggest, there is indeed evidence of women dating up in looks, e.g. very unattractive men were less likely married in one study (15% less likely married than very attractive men). Conversely, very unattractive women were more likely being married than other women, providing some evidence for [[Juggernaut law]].

Humans universally prefer good looking people and agree fairly consistently about who is attractive.<ref>Di Dio C, Macaluso E, Rizzolatti G (2007) The Golden Beauty: Brain Response to Classical and Renaissance Sculptures.

Even blind men have the same preferences about women's hourglas shape as sighted men, suggesting that these preferences are innate. And even among widely different cultures, universal standards for beauty exist.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130383/</ref> and women prefer tall men to short men.<ref>https://research.similarminds.com/romantic-height-preferences-in-men-and-women/227</ref>

People also associate physical attractiveness with various positive traits to unreasonable degree, e.g. a good personality, wittiness, morality, intelligence and health.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Attractive_people_are_perceived_much_more_positively_than_they_really_are</ref>

There is a host of evidence that women are much more choosy maters. For example, average women receive 20 times as many matches as average men on Tinder.<ref>Gareth Tyson, Vasile C. Perta, Hamed Haddadi, Michael C. Seto, Queen Mary University of London, Sapienza University of Rome, Royal Ottawa Health Care Group A First Look at User Activity on Tinder</ref>

Women's love style more opportunistic and transactional than men's.

Women are attracted to dominant males, both physically dominant (strong muscles) and mentally (stoicism and low empathy).<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Personality</ref>

In one study, not a single woman preferred the physically weaker man when given the choice between a strong and a weak one.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#All_women_find_the_bodies_of_.27strong_looking_men.27_more_attractive_than_those_with_weaker_bodies</ref>

Mental conditions that are especially detrimental are schizophrenia and autism.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Mental</ref>

Each one of the central themes plays a part in deriving incel vocabulary. Looks being necessary, unevenly distributed, and objective provides two familiar categories: the [[incel]] and [[Chad]]. The social role of looks is also reflected in the use of the label [[Stacy]] to denote a better-looking female. However, there is more space left for disagreement over what constitutes a 'Stacy.'
