The term '''simp''' is used to describe a male who is [[nice guy|kind-hearted]] toward [[women]]. It is short for "'''s'''ucka '''i'''dolizing '''m'''ediocre '''p'''ussy". The term came into prominence in the post-3rd wave [[feminism|feminist]] period as increasingly, men took on the mantle of being feminist in the hope of possible getting into the good books of women, ostensibly in order to get [[ascension|laid]]. Due to the overlap with self-debasing, simping eventually increasingly became a derogatory term. | The term '''simp''' is used to describe a male who is [[nice guy|kind-hearted]] toward [[women]].

Many in the manosphere believe simping spoils the women by increasing their [[courtship]] expectations and thereby inflating the price of sex on the [[sexual market hypothesis|sexual market]] (for men that is, of course). | Many in the manosphere believe simping spoils the women by increasing their [[courtship]] expectations, reaffirming the [[female solipsism|solipsism]] and thereby inflating the price of sex on the [[sexual market hypothesis|sexual market]] (for men that is, of course) and rendering women socially unsustainable. | ||

Women, especially those with feminist sympathies increasingly resorted to a backlash in light of the increasing usage of the term ''simping''. These women believe that exhibiting a respectful, kind, and loving posture towards the fair sex shouldn't induce ridicule. However, this backlash is never going to hold any weight as the ''nice guys finish last'' or ''good-hearted guys finish last'' trope is a real-life phenomenon entirely begotten, fostered and effectuated through the attitudes of the female sex. | Women, especially those with feminist sympathies increasingly resorted to a backlash in light of the increasing usage of the term ''simping''.

Research indicates that men who believe in simping have a ''higher'' subjective wellbeing.<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2011-16716-005</ref> | |||
This suggests the pathologization of simping in the [[manosphere]] is primarily a response to the perverse exaggeration of the [[women-are-wonderful effect]] in modern times, combined with the rise male sexual frustration spoiling the females, rather than simping (or investing into the female) being unnatural or harmful in itself. Since women have been dependent on men's resources throughout human history,<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men</ref> it should be expected that men also have evolved to derive pleasure from investing into the female as ensuring the survival of the mother and enabling her parental investment is heavily conductive to the men [[reproductive success]], especially among [[life history|k-strategists]]. | |||
