The term '''simp''' is used to describe a [[male]] who is too [[nice guy|kind-hearted]] toward [[women]]. It is either short for "'''s'''ucka '''i'''dolizing '''m'''ediocre '''p'''ussy", or a shortening ot the word "simpleton". The term came into prominence in the post-3rd wave [[feminism|feminist]] period as increasingly, [[Male feminists|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 [[Copulation|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 too [[nice guy|kind-hearted]] toward [[women]].

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]] (for men that is, of course) and rendering women socially unsustainable. | 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]] (for men that is, of course) and rendering women socially unsustainable. | ||

Research indicates that men who believe in simping have a ''higher'' subjective wellbeing.<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2011-16716-005</ref> | 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 men's [[reproductive success]], especially among [[life history|k-strategists]]. | 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.
