Introduction​


I was driving home from the gym tonight and i see some mid-shyt, I think to myself "I'm down bad rn atleast this mid-shyt would let me hit, I'll prob hit up some mid foid tn try get lucky". And then it struck me , like some incellish spidey senses, "if I think like this, no doubt every other mid tier normie guy upwards does too", this made me think "maybe the mid foids actually get the most male attention and thus why it is always the mid girls who think they are 10s"

To me this felt like I was oppenheimer in this scene ,despite this very possibly being water is wet territory.

So I will make it my goal of this thread to prove my theory​


Let's start at the beginning then shall we?

So first and foremost, here is our current understanding of hypergamy

Now the main issue is, most assume men aren't acting as hypergamous as women, that is correct to some extent, but it is relevant infact.

Infact I hypothesize, because of men infalting the mid womens perceived attractiveness (to themselves) they actually set higher standards. This then creates a vicious cycle with time of women's standards going up and up thorughout their 20s, then inevitably hitting the wall mid 30s. This is what I think it looks like ;

This is just for the women, you will notice I have allowed for the better looking foids to be entertaining several good looking men at once (just based on what I observed day to day) and of course the highest attractiveness woman to date SLIGHTLY DOWN (this maybe presents in reality as stacey with chadlite) Just look on tiktok for all the "when I give the ugly friend a chance" type memes , they are referring to this.

Now let's add men giving interest in, you will notice men actually give a lot more interest to more women, I call this the men " spraying and praying", men tend to have larger pipelines with dating, due to the fact our conversion rate is that much worse than women. So we "Spray" many women with compliments and interest to "Pray" one of them will return that interest.

You can see it is much more compex, for the true sub 5's they receive no interest, but their interest to the ugly foids isn't rejected as such, maybe they get friendzoned. If you look at the most ugly male to get attention compared to the most ugly foids to get attention , that has a ratio of literally 1:5!! Yep, for every one foid who is interested in an ugly dude, she also has 5 guys who are interested in her, and to note, they are majority of them (4 of the men) better looking than her! So she has way more options than this ugly dude, so she is not only the one in power in the relationship, but she actually feels like SHE is the better looking of the two!!

No wonder the bottom 10% foids can justify having minimum standards of a 40th percentile man! Atleast ,however, these ugly girls typically don't entertain multiple men, as they know they are out of their league, so they typically try and marriage trap these men (think: the average dude with a chopped-shyt and a baby carrier, she locked that poor mf in for life)

Now lets take a look at the section where we are most interested, the mid foids

1759263503250.png
As you can see in this picture a 40th percentile woman, who should be really with the 40th percentile man if we match by attractiveness, is getting attention from a 70th percentile man, and a 60th etc etc etc all the way down to the 10th percentile (ugly as shit), This makes this mid woman have such a diverse range of dating options, that she rejects anyone below a 50th percentile man (this is obviously going to make any foids think they are the one in power if they can reject several men, it makes them feel like a valuable asset so to speak), she will perpetually aim much higher too, she gets attention from 70th percentile men (maybe your high tier normie who is horny and wants to fuck a low tier becky, or whatever reason, I am sure you see it plenty, a low mid tier becky with a high tier normie. This will forever taint the foid and give her high standards, why settle for a ford focus when you were riding in a mercedes in the past? So this inflates their perceived attractiveness, especially because they get validation from men better looking than her, so she will never look at her looksmatch, or someone that isn't atleast 20 percentiles above her! This is water, but let me just prove my point here :

Realistically and subconsciously, deep down these foids do know that they are 4s / mid. That is important for this next part, they know logically and subconsciously that when she (4/10) rejects a 4/10 or 5/10 that she isn't really rejecting someone below her, but someone that is worthy of her. But she knows the 6/10 and 7/10 will be giving her interest and she can play with them instead which is more desirable!

But deep down, if she wants to count all her options she could settle with, she can count her looksmatches, so she counts 4 different potential partners , (that is the key here) she obviously doesn't even consider the ones below her so their "valid validation" is null, because she would never consider actually settling with them.

Now , let's take a look at the good looking women. The 10, 9 and 8s.

Surely these must have the highest perceived attractiveness, and be the most strict wanting only the 10s and feeling that they have the most valid partners! Afterall literally every man wants to be with her!

But as you can see Stacey gets the least "Valid Validation", she being 10/10 accepts attention from 10s and 9s, but nothing else counts. So she knows she is very pretty and a top 1% woman, but to her the thoughts of any partner below a 9 is off the table, so the validation, of knowing she can have any man SHE wants, just isn't there the same as the mid girl who knows she can have any man she wants (her looks or upwards)

I am not saying 10s are easier, but she has less "valid validation" because top 10 percentile men are rare! And that is all she would consider! Thus she knows she is attractive, but in terms of going out and finding a guy, it is harder for her. She only wants top men, top men are rare to find in reality, so if you ask a Stacey about their dating life, they will tell you how hard they have it and how "there are no good guys" (good is code for chad btw).

The 9 and 8s also know they are Stacey and Staceylites ,so the lowest that these groups accept are the 9s and 10s completely ignoring high tier normies, mid tier normies etc. infact an 8/10 foid is rarely with an 8/10 man, though pyscholgoically they know they are completely valid partners. These high attractiveness foids are counting 2 or 3 total men giving them "valid validation" but will always be aiming higher because they do get attention from the 9/10 and 10/10 men. They also count attention from their looksmatch even if they wouldn't consider him.

As you can see again, in terms of how easy and how plentiful the "ocean" of "fish" that they wanna catch, is again significantly less than that of the mid girls, yes it is because they have standards for a populous of "fish" that are scarser, but that doesn't change how easy it is for them to catch these fish. So you ask these girls, they will maybe nott have as many complaints as their most attractive friend, but you will hear them complain the same "where are the good guys". In summary, even the 8s and 9s don't get quite as much "valid validation" as their mid foid peers.

Another point to reenforce this, in black and white. Not only is the male "spray and pray" pipeline technique essentially inflating all girls egos, I do believe it has having the largest effect on the egos of the girls who we rate 4-6s. And just due to nomal distribution :
1759264260088.jpeg

This percentile of women are the actual looksmatches for the largest number of men! Since most men are average, fucking water .

Then these women who represent the majority of women aiming higher than men, simply leads to the majority of men up until the 70th percentile are literally getting 0 action, and if they are it is from significantly less attractive women than they should get if we pair couples up by equivalent attractiveness!

So here is the conclusion, we are as men, exacerbating the issue with women's perceived attractiveness. I don't think we can do much about it. But it is always something interesting to remember, that when you have a mid foid being entitled as shit, it is literally because they get more "valid validation" (validation from a partner that is atleast a looksmatch and they can accept it as actual validation as opposed to total validation from below their looksmatch) than literally 80th percentile women and above,

This is why 4s are now feeling like 7s. Because in terms of the groups of women, the group of mid women get more partners(that they could be happy to settle with if they had to) giving them validation than any other group of women!

I know it still means I ain't getting laid from that mid girl i saw on the way home, but atleast I can cope and know to myself 'you never had a chance to begin with, atleast you didn't contribute to the great inflation"


Thanks for reading my schizopost anyway boyos, and I hope next time you are thinking of hitting up that girl that is average that your odds aren't actually improved, so let that sink in
