Beautiful Women Rule The World. Here’s Why.

Women are the prize.

At least generally speaking. Men chase and women are being chased.

I have even experienced situations where guys I thought were my friends stabbed me in the back. Why? Because of a girl. It seems like most men will do anything just to get women, sleep with them, or even look at them.

In case you don’t know exactly what I mean, here are some examples to prove this point.

Men are more likely to gift expensive things

Expensive handbags, expensive dinners, or expensive rings.

It is usually the men who try to win over the opposite sex with material gifts.

Buying Drinks

I have female friends who pay nothing when they party and let thirsty men buy them drinks all evening long. This is certainly not an exception.

No woman has ever offered to buy me a drink though…

Onlyfans

In recent years, the platform Onlyfans has become known for nude pictures and pornographic content.

The top earners? Women. The majority of users? Men.

Men clearly pay more often to see the opposite sex naked. Even if it is only on a screen.

Prostitutes

Prostitutes are almost exclusively women. This is probably due to the demand. If there were a market, there would probably also be a supply. This is why the sociologist Pierre van den Berghe noted:

“The male prostitute, unless he caters to homosexuals, is an economic redundancy, consistently undercut by eager amateur competition.”

The bottom line is this. Men have to or want to pay for sex significantly more often than women.

Social Media Attention

The same picture emerges on social media.

Again and again, I see pictures of pretty women who are not even celebrities and get several 100 thousand likes.

In the comments, of course, there are tons of male “simps” who comment on hearts and flames. A funny game to watch.

The easiest way to get likes on instagram is probably to be a good looking woman and post revealing pictures.

Gender Simping Gap

As the previous examples show, men are considerably more likely to engage in an activity that is called “simping” these days.

Here’s a short definition of this term.

It is when a male is overly submissive to a female and gains nothing from it. So overly submissive that other guys cringe and feel ashamed when seeing them. This applies to males in relationships when they are so submissive that they say literally anything to be in favor with the female.

That raises the question of where this enormous gender-simping gap comes from.

Is It In Our Blood?

The trend is so clear that it is reasonable to assume that this behavior is part of our biology.

In fact, there are some evolutionary approaches that could give us an explanation.

Hypergamy

Women are generally choosier than men.

This is clearly demonstrated, for example, by data published by the dating app tinder. The “likes” of almost all women are distributed almost exclusively among a few attractive men.

Women, according to this view, try to find the man with the best genes and the best ability to provide for a family.

In the course of evolution, this choice was an advantage that gave the offspring a higher chance to survive.

Men have a higher sex drive

As studies show, men are generally significantly more interested in casual sex as well as in a variety of sexual partners.

Evolutionarily, this preference has probably developed because it increases the probability of reproduction. Or, to put it another way, men with this preference have reproduced more frequently throughout history and passed this preference on to their offspring.

The law of supply and demand

If we assume that women are choosier and men want more sex, the gender simping gap can be explained by a simple economic principle:

Supply and demand.

If something is rare and many people want it then the price is high.

Low supply + high demand= high price

Conversely, something is not worth much if it is available in large numbers and not many people want it.

High supply + low demand= low price

Here’s how that presents itself on the dating market

Of course, the following assumptions are a bit oversimplified, but I think they are true in general.

  • The most attractive men are very valuable and have a lot of choices, as pretty much all women want them. (Low supply, high demand)

This explains why many women “simp” for male singers or actors.

You just have to go to a Justin Bieber or Shawn Mendes concert.

Females screaming everywhere.

  • For the rest of the men, however, there are not many women left (low supply). This is the other side of the coin. Almost all women are attracted to the most attractive few percent of men.
  • Men want a lot of sex. This high demand, combined with the low supply of women interested in the average man makes the “price” of female beauty for the average man skyrocket.
  • The result is men simping. Men who pay for sex. Whether directly (prostitution) or indirectly (expensive gifts, sugar daddies), and shower women with compliments and affection.
