Chad: Difference between revisions

Since women, especially before the industrial revolution and women entering the workforce en masse in the 20th century, heavily depended on men's resources<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> women face a [[dual mating|trade-off]] between choosing a more dominant, more protective and better looking, but less committing Chad, or a less dominant, but more committing [[betabuxx]], who are generally more willing to commit in long-term relationships due to a relative lack of potential mates.

Certain aspects of Chad's physical appearance, such as a highly masculine facial bone structure and overall physical strength, may also have evolved in an evolutionary arms race between men competing for women, resources, and survival, rather than serving to directly attract women.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513810000279</ref><ref>http://larspenke.eu/pdfs/Kordsmeyer_et_al_2018_-_Intra-_vs_intersexual_selection_on_human_males.pdf</ref>

Cross-culturally, there is little evidence that women prefer masculine faces exclusively, with men's facial masculinity seemingly mostly unrelated to their overall facial attractiveness,<ref>https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0225549</ref> though this appears to vary by ecological and mating context. In contrast, Chad's muscular body is nearly universally attractive to women.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Rated_strength_is_the_main_predictor_of_men.27s_bodily_attractiveness._No_women_prefer_weak_men</ref> However, women's attraction to more muscular males likely falls within a [[goldilocks zone]], with extreme levels of muscularity (such as what can be achieved via [[Anabolic Steroid|steroid abuse]]) possibly being detrimental to men's sexual attractiveness.
