The '''blackpill''' is a philosophy that claims that [[looks]] are the most important factor in women's mate choices, dwarfing over factors such as [[personality]] and even [[LMS|money and status]]. It also borrows observations from the [[redpill]] in regards to female nature, i.e claims of rampant female [[hypergamy]] and disloyalty. | |||
But while redpillers believe men can [[Work on Yourself|improve]] their dating situation through various [[PUA|social manipulation]] tricks as well as [[bodybuilding]] (internal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_of_control locus of control]), blackpillers believe men's dating issues are mostly systemic or predetermined (external locus of control). | |||
Not all incels are blackpillers and [[noncel blackpiller|not all blackpillers are incels]]. The media often conflate the two.

The blackpill can be seen as a counterweight to the prevalent and bluepilled assumption that having a poor social and [[romance|romantic]] life is mostly [[Neoliberalism|one's own fault]] and/or a matter of cultivating a positive [[personality]]. It provides an basis whereby one can reject day-to-day [[platitude]] and the commonly fraudulent "[[work on yourself|self-improvement]]" advice that is ubiquitous in media, advertising and [[redpill]]ers. | The blackpill can be seen as a counterweight to the prevalent and bluepilled assumption that having a poor social and [[romance|romantic]] life is mostly [[Neoliberalism|one's own fault]] and/or a matter of cultivating a positive [[personality]].

Blackpillers mostly believe in [[biological essentialism|biological essentialism]] and evolutionary explanations for human social and sexual behavior (see [[Scientific Blackpill]]). Many of these beliefs are not new to academia at all, in fact, they often draw from scientific literature that predates what blackpillers consider a new [[gynocentrism|gynocentric]] monoculture in the social sciences (e.g. [[Briffault's law]], [[Bateman's principle]] and [[sexy sons hypothesis]]). | |||
The growing popularity of the blackpill is a result of the failure of the [[mainstream media]] and society of [[bluepill|bluepilled]] pontification, to account for otherwise inexplicable phenomena such as the [[halo effect]], [[hybristophilia]], [[cacophobia]] and how female choosiness is leads to [[hypergamy|female hypergamy]]. | The growing popularity of the blackpill is a result of the failure of the [[mainstream media]] and society of [[bluepill|bluepilled]] pontification, to account for otherwise inexplicable phenomena such as the [[halo effect]], [[hybristophilia]], [[cacophobia]] and how female choosiness is leads to [[hypergamy|female hypergamy]]. | ||
