Scientific Blackpill (Summary): Difference between revisions

This page attempts to boil down insights from the [[Scientific Blackpill]].

[[File:Attractiveness_Ratings_Wood_2009.png|400px|thumb|right|People strongly agree about very unattractive people being unattractive (small standard deviation).<ref name="wood"></ref> Women seem to have slightly more diverse preferences, but [[Variability hypothesis#Variability_in_sexual_desire|it's not clear why]].

Taken together, these research findings suggest that human preferences for physical appearance is largely innate and possibly resulted from aesthetic [[sexual selection]] and perhaps [[Fisherian runaway|runaway selection]], rather than from cultural evolution or even [[social constructionism|social construction]].

Women do not seem to care more about looks as men (but roughly equally), so women's harsher ratings possibly result from an intuition to avoid initiating romance and giving men complements, having a more coy and [[sex drive#Female_passivity|passive sexuality]] all around. Initiation would make it more difficult to reject a male as the initiator bears more responsibility.

There exists a strong ''[[women-are-wonderful effect|women-are-wonderful]]'' bias in that women are perceived more favorably than men in all kinds of regards which additionally suggests men are overall held to higher standards.<ref name="ref92"></ref>

Among blackpillers there is disagreement about whether dominance and aggression are actually conductive to dating success (science does suggest so, though likely only past some minimal standard of looks),<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#A_man.27s_personality_only_matters_to_a_woman_if_he_meets_her_basic_looks_cutoff_first</ref> some claiming that only looks truly matter. Better looks may allow one to act in a dominant manner to some extent, e.g. looks are correlated with extroversion (r = .2)<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092656610000279</ref> and attractive men are more readily forgiven for deviant behavior,<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0092656674900440</ref> in particular women much more readily call an unattractive man's behavior [[creep]]y.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_permit_.27creepy.27_behavior_from_attractive_but_not_unattractive_men</ref>

[[File:Crying_propensity_by_sex.png|400px|thumb|right|Women state they are much more likely to cry in various situations. [[Scientific Blackpill (Supplemental)#Women_cry_four_times_as_much_as_men_and_never_outgrow_teenage_crying_behavior|More information]].]]

Women may have been selected to be childish and submissive as men and also their parents prefer women who's reproductive behavior is easy to control in order to minimize the risk of cuckoldry and ruining the family's and man's reputation.<ref name="pubescent">https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#It_is_normal_for_healthy_men_to_find_pubescent_.26_prepubescent_females_sexually_arousing</ref>  Further, for the purpose of [[paternity assurance]], it makes sense for men to monopolize a woman at young age; something that women do not need to worry about. Taken together, this may explain men's highly common sexual attraction to fertile underage girls.<ref name="pubescent" />

Sexual activity was related to greater well-being the next day,<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-25711-001</ref> and warm partner contact lowers cardiovascular stress.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#tocHealth</ref>

One can also regard beta tax payers as "virtual provider mates", paying for single mothers who, presumably, often copulated with men way above their league and thus ended up being [[pump and dump|pumped and dumped]], so there is some truth to dual mating.

The matching hypothesis states that people naturally prefer potential partners who are about as attractive as themselves. However, the Walster's famous computer dating study suggested otherwise, namely that only the looks of the potential partner predicts romantic interest, not how similar they are in looks.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/8jqzp5/explaining_looksmatchism_among_the_average_most/</ref> Data from online dating suggests that men and women alike aim a bit higher than their own desirability, with few aiming excessively high.<ref>https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/advances/4/8/eaap9815.full.pdf</ref> This may imply that without enforced monogamy, both men and women will lack pressure to settle for the "art of the possible," thus people remain single. This may be evidence of [[Fisherian runaway|exaggerated preferences]] for ornament adversely affecting fitness.
