You're misreading it the same way I did initially. It's not that the hottest women are choosing the grossest men, it's that the grossest men are choosing to gently caress the hottest women (instead of the preferential robot) because they have a fetish for actual humans. The flip between part 2 and part 3 of the graph is who has the power to choose partners.

Incels are fantasizing that one day the hottest of ladies will desperately beg for their dicks because they've been replaced by hunks of metal and plastic for the majority of men.

I never heard the subtract 1.5 rule before.

If everyone gets an automatic minus 1.5, doesn't that effectively shift the scale to run from -1.5 through 8.5 instead of 1 through 10 :confused:

Im sure its slightly more complicated than that but the idea is the 1-10 scale is inaccurate and everyone needs to be graded downward.

The facial expressions on those things are terrifying. They have a long way to go before anyone beyond the most desperate fringes of society would have sex with them. This refers to the dolls as well as to the men who use them.

It is sad that these guys have an echo chamber on the internet where they can have their awful views and mentality reinforced on a daily basis, rather than being on their own in the real world meaning they'd have more of a chance to grow up away from it. What will they be like at 40-50?

In my case the hate (of which, as I say, there was much less at that time) just burned out, and having inevitable contact with women told me they weren't ogres, and I recognized a couple of mistakes I was making as silly. Which isn't to say I "recovered" in terms of relationships, but I no longer felt the need to define myself by rage or upset against it. Well, other than an ongoing hatred for misuse of the word "entitled" and society's incoherent attitude to persuasion..

This may mean that the kind of guy who frequents a brothel is more likely not to care about sex as something to be enjoyed between people but only as an outlet for his own sexual tension. And he may be very self-conscious about himself sexually and probably prefers not to have to consider his performance.

So I don't see this as a trend that is likely to take off for the average guy - the kind of guy who doesn't pay for sex.

While Proceedings of the Royal Society is a respectable journal, the article was only cited 43 times in 7 years, which is kinda meh. Hardly scientific consensus. This is what people outside of science don't usually get: ALL sorts of research get published, in more or less respectable journals, because that's how science is suppose to work, interesting or novel ideas are introduced and discussed, other researchers may or may not find it plausible or interesting, may or may not continue to explore along those paths, and hopefully some kind of consensus is reached after some (usually very long) time. I'd say that even for the very top journals in each field, the majority of the research published represents dead ends. But "science journalism" in mainstream media portrays the scientific process as something much more linear and straight-forward: "researcher publishes article in mid- to low-tier journal, all previous research on the subject is completely demolished".

But who am I kidding, I'm sure most these guys consider Reddit peer-reviewed since you can vote on posts. But maybe that's where we are heading - an academic resume in 2050 may well state "Professor So-and-so has published extensively on Reddit, is the mod for 4 subreddits, and has had over 50000 up-votes."

my gym instructor took a vacation and passed me on to a female gym instructor, who was a real life fitness model. She resigned on the day she was supposed to teach me because I was too ugly.

I then decided to take up yoga as a substitute exercise, but the female yoga instructor who was another fitness model made up a lie about having to travel out of state so that she could avoid teaching me because I was too ugly (even though I was paying just like everyone else).

Feeling doubly Sussed, I decided to go to the chiropractor my dad was going to. I have heard from my dad that she was pretty good and always gave personal treatment (instead of using you as a test subject for their interns like some doctors do, ending in medical debacles) but when she saw how ugly I was, she refused to treat me personally like she did my Chad father, and subjected me to her non professional secondary staff even though I paid just as much as my father.

Sure. But also there's any number of studies showing that women are statistically attracted to the things that women are traditionally attracted to. The problem is that "women" is such a huge group that the chance of an average guy's lifetime experience meeting women ever coming close to a statistically representative sample is basically nil, and I expect most incels have even less than this.

What is even the point of this subreddit, logically? They don't want to help each other feel better or change. They actively discourage it.

It seems like logically they would realize that whatever delusional fantasies about government sex welfare or whatever are never going to happen, so they might as well either experiment with changing and see if it helps, accept that they're going to be alone, or kill themselves.

Faced with those three choices and really ONLY those three choices, these guys are like gently caress it, we'll do it live and choose none of the above.

It's just weird to me because it seems so inhuman to seemingly WANT to be unhappy and actively resist any option which might lead to increased happiness just to wallow in it. Change, accept it, or die. Not "option d: don't change, don't accept it, and don't kill myself and instead just constantly impotently whine about it."

Obviously broken analogy. You can't compare "changing yourself to be more attractive" to taking out a splinter! It can be a pretty huge change, right down to core values, and there's no guarantee of it ever working and no interim cues on how you're going.

"Suck it up and quit complaining" doesn't make you happier. The splinter still hurts, after all. Adapting can make you happier, but that takes years and isn't something you just decide to do. Now, it is likely that posting on these groups is preventing people adapting. But just stopping wouldn't necessarily solve that because making a conscious decision to adapt when other options seem to be available also prevents adaptation.

Going to doctors doesn't help much either, it just throws you full tilt into society's contradictory message on persuasion. I can't forgive the threats, misogyny, hate and vitality but I can forgive the "red pill" belief that society in general is in denial about the nature of persuasion in markets (and not just seduction)

They want validation, not improvement. Also they're open misogynists so bad that they get kicked out of anywhere else.

The most charitable and sympathetic interpretation is that they've so internalized the warped presentation of relationships and sex in media they consume (even excluding porn) and can't separate it from reality that they feel like failures for not being that. So their loneliness for other reasons, some deserving and some not, gets compounded.

I guess I'm also thinking here of the unfortunate guys who just have trouble with social interaction but get sucked into incels' black hole, not the unrepentant misogynists who deserve no sympathy.

Men prefer attractive women too. And studies show they put more emphasis on appearance in a partner than women do. Pretty much everything they say can be applied to ugly women, which they may not be aware of since only "Stacy" catches ones eye. People aren't aware or care about a blah person's existence next to the babe. That's just how humans are. Women seem to accept more given we wear makeup and do cosmetic surgery to a far greater extent; these guys want the world to bend to them which isn't going to happen. Yes there exist men willing to use us for sex so it is easier to get a partner, but that isn't a guarantee for affection non-abusive companionship or even an orgasm.
