The term '''simp''' is used to shame a [[male]] who is perceived as investing too much into a woman without reward, usually via investing excessive resources such as time, money, or affection into a woman without any reciprocity | The term '''simp''' is used to shame a [[male]] who is perceived as investing too much into a woman without reward, usually via investing excessive resources such as time, money, or affection into a woman without any reciprocity. 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 an effort to please the newly 'empowered women' and get access to their pussies as a consequence.

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 a woman 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 with less-strings attached than other men, thereby collectively lowering men's bargaining power on the sexual marketplace. | 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 a woman provides him with sexual access.
