→Women tend to be attracted to the Dark Triad—narcissism, manipulativeness, & psychopathy

Women evolved to be dependent and [[sex drive|choosy]] due to their greater [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]].

In response to this, women are thought to have evolved to choose the strongest and most [[dominance hierarchy|dominant]] man available to be protected from men attempting to coerce them into sex, male violence in general ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]; Wilson & Mesnick, 1997) and to get access to high-quality foods and resources (Geary 2004). | In response to this, women are thought to have evolved to choose the strongest and most [[dominance hierarchy|dominant]] man available to be protected from men attempting to coerce them into sex, male violence in general ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]; Wilson & Mesnick, 1997) and to get access to high-quality foods and resources (Geary 2004). | ||

The frequency of women's rape fantasies may be related to [[Scientific Blackpill#62.25_of_women_have_fantasies_about_rape_and_other_forced_sex_acts|women's preference for low-empathy males]]. After all, raping someone requires indifference to their feelings. The ability to rape may also act as an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory honest signal] of physical strength and high status. Alternatively (though these two things are of course not mutually exclusive) such tendencies may be reinforced by [[fisherian runaway]] sexual selection feedback loops, as the traits that predispose a man to raping are likely substantially heritable. So selecting for a man with 'rapist genes' would ensure that her male offspring inherit these genes, which would thus increase said male offspring's chance of becoming polygynous (in certain opportunistic contexts) which would serve to increase her fitness in an evolutionary sense. | The frequency of women's rape fantasies may be related to [[Scientific Blackpill#62.25_of_women_have_fantasies_about_rape_and_other_forced_sex_acts|women's preference for low-empathy males]].

Women's general reluctance to have sex and wish to be forced into sex may also test men for their physical strength, as women depend on a physically strong man to be protected, e.g. from other contenders (bodyguard hypothesis). This is related to the male dominance/female surrender pattern that is common in the animal world. The male must present a display of dominance, continue pursuing the female even in the face of rejection, and sometimes even physically subdue the female coerce her into sex (Fisher, 1999). This is possibly a test of his power, fitness, and status. Fisher also suggests that females may have a natural desire to surrender to a pre-selected, dominant male. Eibl-Eibesfeldt (1989) suggests this behavior derives from primitive brain regions that have evolved to insure successful mating in reptiles, birds, and mammals. | Women's general reluctance to have sex and wish to be forced into sex may also test men for their physical strength, as women depend on a physically strong man to be protected, e.g. from other contenders ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]).

The fact that many or even most women desire to be dominated reminds one of certain [[redpill]] insights as it is actually something men can arguably improve on. However, it remains a blackpill insofar as men are continually heavily shamed by [[feminism|feminists]] and risk being [[metoo|accused of sexual harassment]] for their attempts at dominating a female. Due to their evolutionary history, women are also likely very sensitive to false signals of male dominance or status which would make the mimicry of such behavior even riskier. Such a cultural practice is also arguably dysgenic in the sense that it appears to select for psychopathic, impulsive, or just plain unintelligent men who either don't care about such shaming or lack the knowledge of social norms that would restrain them from behaving in this fashion. | The fact that many or even most women desire to be dominated reminds one of certain [[redpill]] insights as it is actually something men can arguably improve on.

* ''The results seem more intelligible from an evolutionary perspective as reflections of evolved design for sexual motivation, fine-tuned to the different conditions governing the reproductive success of males and females. In this view male sexual motivation promotes a constant frequency of copulation in order to guard against cuckoldry. Female sexual motivation, in contrast, promotes copulation to solve the adaptive problem of procuring male resources by establishing and maintaining a pair bond.'' | * ''The results seem more intelligible from an evolutionary perspective as reflections of evolved design for sexual motivation, fine-tuned to the different conditions governing the reproductive success of males and females.

{{quote|The author is not a professional researcher in any of these fields herself. She relates that, after four years of happy marriage and shortly after her 27th birthday, she began to feel bored and unhappy for no apparent reason. She turned to a number of books and professionals, all of whom agreed that the fault lay with her husband; she adopted this now conventional view for a time herself. Fortunately—and unlike most women—she kept digging for answers. She met women, at first accidentally, who described similar experiences, and questioned them. Later she began seeking women out for lengthy interviews. She eventually interviewed men as well. It is worth noting that she managed to devote several hours a week to this research without any degree in sociology or taxpayer-funded grants. Gradually, consistent patterns began to emerge from the stories she was hearing. “By the time I stopped counting, I had interviewed 123 women and 72 men. . . . I found it fascinating that something so prevalent could be kept so secret.” ([https://www.counter-currents.com/2011/06/rotating-polyandry-and-its-enforcers-part-1/ Source])}} | |||
