Further, fast [[life history]] traits such as extroversion and risk taking are weakly but consistently related to [[reproductive success]] and sexual experience.<ref>Haydon, A. A., Cheng, M.

Relatedly, one result suggests the link between testosterone and mating success is also not mediated by looks, but behavior (though this study considered serum T levels, rather than measures of androgyny and pre-natal exposure to androgens).<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/mhmvb3/testosterone_correlates_with_mating_success_but/</ref> | Relatedly, one result suggests the link between testosterone and mating success is also not mediated by looks, but behavior (though this study considered serum T levels, rather than measures of androgyny and pre-natal exposure to androgens).<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/mhmvb3/testosterone_correlates_with_mating_success_but/</ref> | ||
However, research indicates, that (especially for slow life history strategists) free mate choice and direct sexual approach may be unnatural, with the majority of historical human societies having primarily practiced arranged marriage (at least during the first marriage), possibly explaining a high prevalence of [[approach anxiety]], [[shyness]] and poor dating skills among incels.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704919887706</ref> Further, personality traits are around 40–60% heritable (despite personality instruments being somewhat unreliable),<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5068715/</ref> likely implying personality predispositions are not easily nor arbitrarily malleable. | However, research indicates, that (especially for slow life history strategists) free mate choice and direct sexual approach may be unnatural, with the majority of historical human societies, even primitive ones, having primarily practiced [[arranged marriage]] (at least during the first marriage), possibly explaining a high prevalence of [[approach anxiety]], [[shyness]] and poor dating skills among incels.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704919887706</ref> Further, personality traits are around 40–60% heritable (despite personality instruments being somewhat unreliable),<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5068715/</ref> likely implying personality predispositions are not easily nor arbitrarily malleable. | ||
There is evidence that at least some women [[rape|even desire]] being raped and more women at least are willing to give in to a moderate amount of coercion. Hence, PUA techniques may boil down to overcoming [[female coyness]] by coercion or even outright [[rape]] packaged in socially acceptable dating effort such as [[small talk]] and [[charm]] (even though these themselves have little to no effect in a one-on-one, direct approach, non-coercive context). Such dating strategies might work less well for very [[social awkwardness|awkward]] and unattractive men, who women more likely accuse of [[sexual harassment]].<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women.27s_definition_of_.27harassment.27_in_online_dating_depends_on_the_attractiveness_of_the_man</ref> | There is evidence that at least some women [[rape|even desire]] being raped and more women at least are willing to give in to a moderate amount of coercion.
