A study was conducted by Oklahoma State University in 2009 & published in Journal of Experimental Social Psychology in order to study what is know as mate poaching, an act of when someone tries approaching a person who's already in a dedicated relationship. 184 males & females were chosen and were shown pictures of opposite sex. Some were told that those people were already in a relationship. The results of this study is pretty :blackpill::blackpill::blackpill::

While interest was 59% for unattached men, it rose to 90% when the same men were described as taken, suggesting a potential preference for "pre-screened" partners.

90%, jeez, that's kinda crazy :forcedsmile::forcedsmile::forcedsmile:

Another study, Street et al. 2018, finds out how much peer ratings of attractiveness affects the women's personal ratings. 49 heterosexual women, and were asked to rate abstract art, men's hands and most importantly men's faces. First they gave their own ratings. Then they saw real-time average ratings from the other girls in the room. After a short break they re-rated everything.

As it's revealed, women's ratings were shifted 0.13 points based on the median rating. This means that women are inclined to rate men who are found desirable by other women as desirable, and vice versa. Women also in general are inclined to always follow the common consensus all the time, which is also why if their friend group consists of sluts who club everyday and have sex with random Chads off of Tinder, they're 99% likely to be exactly like that.

All of this led to what is known as "Wedding Ring Effect", where even just LARPing sings of being in a relationship, such as wearing a ring on your finger, raises your SMV among foids.

My question is, is this actually feasible? Has anybody here actually tried this method?
