Thoughts on how bp could be making hypergamy worse.

[tyrazane]

Hey,

So i’ve been thinking about it. Media heavily impacts our views on what’s attractive. Mainstream media is mainly from the west- for example most male (and female) models are from the united states. This causes our brains to pair (mostly) the classic euro look- white skin, blue eyes and dark brown hair with attraction.

In the same way media effects our views it also (obviously) effects the way we feel about the people around us. When I was 10 and I saw someone who is inherently ugly I wouldn’t think of them as bad as I would now. Similarly, girls start seeing more attractive men on social media and movies and subconsciously compare men around them to the top 1% that they see online.

Knowing all of this I feel like blackpill and looksmaxxing cause more videos and attention to the top 1% of men (and women) which makes everyone else (many more then normal) compare the people around them and even themselves to these models and htn+’s posted online.

If you think about it 30-60 years ago (depending on how old you are) your parents were only influenced slightly by tv and a lot more by the people around them. This essentially grounds them- if you see more ugly and average people, the people who look slightly better then normal stand out more.

There is lots of evidence that this isn’t just a guess. A analysis of 24 experimental studies involving 3,816 participants found that exposure to appearance-ideal images on social media had a moderate negative effect on body image (Hedges’ g = −0.61). In other words, repeatedly showing people highly idealized appearances can actually influence how they perceive their own appearance.

Thanks for reading!
Conclusion is to not judge yourself too highly on what others think and just be yourself. Looks do matter but it’s really how good you think you look rather than some fat foid who thinks you don’t look close enough to marlon to date.

the study u cited is how people feel about their own appearances, not others, obviously social media is not a good look for hypergamy, but hypergamy is a natural biological process, most people who rant about hypergamy are just accounting their anecdotal experiences which doesnt mean alot

generally, if u go to bumbfuck egypt and find a girl who doesnt have social media or anything, it might seem better on the surface, but from what i can observe, its mostly more innocent presenting with the similar underlying behavioral stuff as a american highschool slut who doomscrolls tiktok all day, what i mean by that is, on the surface her attitude or personality is more innocent, more outgoing or submissive, but the same hypergamous nature kicks in when it has the chance

Yes you're right but bp it's part of a wider manosphere culture which is pretty much anti-hypergamy and anti-feminist. They give a lot of women a brutal reality check.

Men need to stop simping and start having standards. This will cause women to lower their... In theory.

Idk how things will play out but I see a lot of counterbalancing ideas as well.

I don’t see how it would counter balance the way I see it is a loop

People take compounds and get surgery>Post themselves>Foid see>Foid spread>Loop
