Chad: Difference between revisions

Women's desire for high-status men and Chads can perhaps be explained by the bodyguard hypothesis, which states women seek protection from undesirable men by choosing the most dominant man available to them. Dominance is not only about strength but also wealth, looks, IQ, intimidating appearance, personality, social skills, and influence. Historically, chads monopolized multiple wives, leaving some men empty-handed.

Before the industrial revolution and women entering the workforce en masse in the 20th century, women heavily depended on men's ability to prove resources to them in exchange for sex.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> This ancestral dependence on male provision suggests women face a trade-off between choosing a more dominant, more protective and better looking, but less committing Chad, or a less dominant, but more committing betabuxx. These provider males are generally more willing to commit in long-term relationships due to a relative lack of potential mates.

Women naturally evaluate men's status and ability to provide resources by deferring sex and downplaying their sexual interest.

It appears only exceptionally good looking Chads can skip this stage no matter how poorly they behave (though some would argue that many women are more attracted to men with bad personalities), as was proven in Chadfishing experiments.

This phenomenon may be explained by the [[sexy son hypothesis]], which states [[Fisherian runaway|runaway selected ornament]] such as [[Beauty|good looks]] can trump all other characteristics due to the prospect of having one's offspring inherit their good looks, leading to greater [[reproductive success]] for the parents.

However, there is also evidence suggesting that [[beauty]] is also weakly correlated with the overall quality of the organism;slight deviations from the average face may also serve an indicator of developmental instability. This developmental instability may be either due to the presence of pollutants and toxins disturbing development or as a result of high mutational load as suggested by [[good genes hypothesis|researchers who argue that physical attractiveness is generally indicative of overall genetic quality]].

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 being directly attractive to women.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513813000615</ref><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 steroid abuse) possibly being detrimental to men's sexual attractiveness.
