The exaltations of real-life gigachads sometimes give off the impression that a bulk of gigachads incline towards the [[apex fallacy]]. For example one well known gigachad is called Steven Schapiro. he has collected the phone numbers of [[gigastacies]] and [[stacylite]]s at a quantity that would easily hit six digits. Yet he seems surprised at the notion that other guys can't get a single such number, let alone figures thats similar to his. This is called either [[solipsism]] or the [[apex fallacy]], the idea that the most elite members of a specific demographic have similar trajectories as those at the bottom. The clearest example of this is on a video that Schapiro uploaded onto the vlogging channel The Daily Dropout on 5 December 2019, called "Have You Seen One of These Before?". Within this video Schapiro suggests to one of the girls (whose number he just received without asking) that 99% of guys are scared of approaching top-of-the-range pretty girls. This is true. Most guys ''are'' afraid of doing that. Yet Schapiro appears to ridicule these men by gaslighting them into thinking that they have a chance - that the average guys cautiousness or pessimism is irrational. Steven Schapiro appears to be oblivious to the fact that he's a gigachad. | The exaltations of real-life gigachads sometimes give off the impression that a bulk of gigachads incline towards the [[apex fallacy]].

In peculiar situations, it is possible for gigachads to experience inceldom, such as gigachads in prison, or some other sex-segregated environment such as partaking in a boy-scouting organization, or working in an all-male oil rig environment.

However, Jeremy Meeks has shown that even morally questionable convicts still benefit from the [[halo effect]], thus by extension, inheriting a societal position whereby he is assured an easy pathway towards a romantic life. In a nutshell, the gigachad is in a win-win situation; due to his looks he can't lose in the dating scene, even if a calamity befalls him. | ||
