The term '''simp''' is used to shame a [[male]] who is perceived as being too [[nice guy|kind-hearted]] toward [[women]]. It is either short for "'''s'''ucka '''i'''dolizing '''m'''ediocre [[Vagina|'''p'''ussy]]", or a shortening of 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 hope of getting access to women's pussies. Due to the overlap with self-debasing behavior, 'simp' increasingly became a derogatory term, one that is deemed so insulting and volatile that some online platforms have banned its use.<ref>https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/16/22179256/twitch-bans-simp-virgin-incel-new-sexual-harassment-policy</ref> | The term '''simp''' is used to shame a [[male]] who is perceived as being too [[nice guy|kind-hearted]] toward [[women]].

Individuals in the [[manosphere]], and men more broadly, often believe simping spoils women by increasing their [[courtship]] expectations, increasing the amount of investment that is required from a man before she provides him with sexual access. Thus, simp shaming can be seen as a male version of the [[pussy cartel]], where women generally seek financial and emotional investment from men in exchange for sex, and men seek to counter this tendency by shaming other men who are seen to overinvest by providing investment less-strings attached than other men, thus collectively lowering men's bargaining power on the sexual marketplace. | |||
[[Betabuxx]] and simp overlap in investment, [[cuck]] and simp overlap in pleasing the female at the expense of the man's dignity. | Other men argue that simping reaffirms women's [[female solipsism|solipsism]] and entitlement, promoting socially aversive and exploitative behavior on behalf of women. Other men argue that simping is simply ineffective; either because women prefer being treated like shit [[assholes]] or because any relationships that result from simping, being transactional in nature, will be unsatisfying (for the man) and fundamentally exploitative in nature. However, there is some evidence that certain behaviors/attitudes associated with less-pathetic manifestations of simping, such as benevolent sexism (chivalrous attitudes and behavior towards women), are both generally seen as desirable by women and are associated with better relationship outcomes for men who hold these attitudes.<ref>https://theconversation.com/why-women-including-feminists-are-still-attracted-to-benevolently-sexist-men-101067</ref><ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/2167696820934687</ref> Some men also perceive simps as being weak and effeminate due to their agreeable nature, and therefore a fitting target for bullying. | ||

Theoretically, simping should not be seen in a pejorative light, as being nice to [[women]] should be accepted, since at face value being [[altruistic]] and [[empathetic]] are seen as positive virtues. Altruism and having empathy fall in line with the central creed of all the major religions, which is one that encourages following the Golden Rule; do unto others as you would wish upon yourself. However, women have brought it upon themselves that being nice to them is now seen as lowly. Take the term [[nice guy]] for instance; a [[bluepill]]ed outlook would suggest that a [[nice guy]] procures all the benefits of being an upstanding member of society. However many individuals in the manosphere and society more broadly argue these agreeable, chivalrous males often fail at procreation, due to women's inherent [[scelerophilia]] and [[hybristophilia]], which manifests itself in women at different levels of intensity. Thus they argue that simping generally doesn't payoff for men. | Theoretically, simping should not be seen in a pejorative light, as being nice to [[women]] should be accepted, since at face value being [[altruistic]] and [[empathetic]] are seen as positive virtues.
