7	Substantial but Misunderstood Human Sexual Dimorphism Results Mainly From Sexual Selection on Males and Natural Selection on Females There is no need to call them out on it. That’s like somebody calling me out for having a liver. I didn’t choose it, I can’t change it, and I can’t live without it.	/r/BlackPillScience	03/09/25 09:08 PM
12	Substantial but Misunderstood Human Sexual Dimorphism Results Mainly From Sexual Selection on Males and Natural Selection on Females Women compete intensely on looks because they rightly believe beauty gives them access to high status (desirable) men. Beauty also matters a lot in how women treat each other. One of the common things we see is that people still have high standards for the mate they want, even when they themselves are not attractive. The guy without a job who refuses to exercise or take a shower also dreams of marrying a supermodel. The female version of this guy also exists and has similarly unrealistic standar…	/r/BlackPillScience	03/09/25 08:46 AM
9	Having ever used a weapon in a fight positively predicts sexual activity amongst males. “Easier to get sex?” This reminds me of this Onion article: If I'm So Crazy, Then Why Do People Keep Having Sex With Me? For an average, reasonably healthy, pre-menopausal woman, avoiding undesirable sex partners is the challenge. If a woman is so incapacitated or incompetent that she cannot avoid random horny guys, her life has pretty much reached rock bottom. The difficulty of being attractive to women who automatically reject male advances is why men feel so validated by getting sex with an a…	/r/BlackPillScience	03/08/25 12:09 AM
2	Taller and facially more attractive men got married more frequently than shorter and facially less attractive ones. It’s numbers, specifically the “number of fertile women” in comparison with the “number of men pursuing fertile women”. Because fertility exists in a short window, there is a musical chairs effect. There will always be vastly more men pursuing than available fertile women. So the less desirable men will be left alone. Obviously, even after fertility is long gone, men and women pair up. But the motivations are different and the behavior is different.	/r/BlackPillScience	11/05/25 11:49 PM
6	Relatedly, height has been found to have an interesting relationship regarding marriage, particularly for men: tall men are more likely to get married than short men. Although the details therein vary, this pattern holds across time and space, as explained in the next section. But there are lots of benefits to being desired by women (even if you don’t desire them).	/r/BlackPillScience	03/04/25 03:02 AM
8	Women want taller men more than men want shorter women I’m obviously generalizing here, but so is the study. I feel like the tendency among women is to actively look for disqualifiers. Too short? Disqualified. Too poor? Disqualified. Too boring? Disqualified. On Tinder and other online marketplaces, where young women get hundreds of matches in a day, “the disqualification” strategy is a low-effort strategy that still leaves a lot of candidates. This is also how a lot of elite universities and elite companies (consulting) deal with hundreds of applic…	/r/BlackPillScience	08/12/24 06:02 AM
1	Positive association between vocal and facial attractiveness in women but not in men: A cross-cultural study I skimmed the article and could not determine if AGE was considered. (Perhaps AGE was what was really being identified by listeners).	/r/BlackPillScience	26/11/24 06:42 AM
9	We found that ratings of attractiveness were around 1000 times more sensitive to salary for females rating males, compared to males rating females. These results indicate that higher economic status can offset lower physical attractiveness in men much more easily than in women. Status and money take tremendous effort, but the difference is that it is possible to inherit crazily high status with zero effort on your own part. Looks can be inherited, too, but even maintaining good looks takes some effort.	/r/BlackPillScience	18/11/24 05:09 AM
9	Do Women Prefer “Nice Guys”? The Effect of Male Dominance Behavior on Women's Ratings of Sexual Attractiveness The title in the post is super-misleading. It should be more like “women like men who stand up straight, and don’t slouch.”	/r/BlackPillScience	15/11/24 11:17 PM
4	Men were more interested in pursuing casual sex with people of limited physical attractiveness, no matter what other qualities the prospective partner possessed. Women lack interest in forming a relationship with a person of low physical attractiveness, no matter what type of relationship they seek Age impacts fertility more for women, and that throws off all the math. In other words, men from age 20 to 80 are pursuing women from age 20 to 30. In other words, there are 6 guys pursuing each woman. Do women older than 30 get pursued? Yes, of course. But as fertility drops, the enthusiasm of the pursuit drops too. Maybe it’s just two men chasing each 40-year-old woman. They will say “There are no good men!” To them it feels like a drought. Eventually men start dying off and women hit menopaus…	/r/BlackPillScience	14/07/24 10:22 AM
2	Unattractive faces are more attractive when the bottom half is masked, an effect that reverses when the top half is concealed I am not the person you are responding to, but from one person to the next, there is relatively little variation in the upper face, but (mostly due to teeth), there is wide variation in the lower face, specifically the mouth. If you also consider facial hair and double chins (indicating obesity), it’s easy to imagine why the lower half of the face makes such difference. I am once again grateful that my parents had me in braces for 4 years, giving me pretty straight teeth.	/r/BlackPillScience	04/12/22 08:05 AM
2	Men with higher physical dominance, but not sexual attractiveness, reported higher quantitative mating success So, being intimidating is the key. So, get a snarling dog and carry a gun…?	/r/BlackPillScience	04/12/22 07:59 AM
7	Children on trendy vegan diets are 1.2 inches SHORTER on average, with smaller and weaker bones, study warns But catching them in the wild often involves subterfuge. How can you call tricking a fish into biting a hook “ethical”. Even only eating fish with suicidal tendencies is taking advantage of the fish when they are weak. The only thing I can think of is waiting for the fish to die of old age and then eating them. /s. Just kidding!	/r/BlackPillScience	06/06/21 02:35 PM
65	A greater height difference in a couple was positively related to the wife's happiness (n = 7850) In ancient times, all the food was up on high shelves, so women naturally allied themselves with tall men.	/r/BlackPillScience	23/05/21 02:44 AM
5	"women preferred omnivorous (meat-eating) men, rated them as more attractive, and felt more positive about them than vegetarians...vegetarian men were considered less attractive because they were perceived as less masculine" Timeo, S., & Suitner, C. (2018) On the other hand, if you go for quality (hot vegan yoga teachers) and not quantity (chubby couch-potatoes), there might be a benefit to aiming for the smaller group of women.	/r/BlackPillScience	30/01/21 03:10 AM
5	"Between 1992 and 2015, the age-standardized proportion of 18-39-year-old Japanese adults who were single had increased steadily, from 27.4 to 40.7% among women and from 40.3 to 50.8% among men." Your perspective is not wrong, but it feels like the perspective of an economist looking at an entire population—for example, Brazil—where, despite horrible inequality, on average, the population is doing fine. Humans and human culture has evolved so that we seem to function well in extended family clans (like, maybe 100 people or less). Since we were monkeys, the parent-child bonds have played a big part in our clan relationships. Yes, we can change. We can find new ways to build communities wi…	/r/BlackPillScience	12/11/20 09:18 PM
33	"Between 1992 and 2015, the age-standardized proportion of 18-39-year-old Japanese adults who were single had increased steadily, from 27.4 to 40.7% among women and from 40.3 to 50.8% among men." A Japanese professor explained the low marriage and low birth rate this way: Japanese women view a man as marriageable based on him being a “permanent employee” (seishain, who cannot be fired except for cause). However, since around 1990, Japanese companies have been shifting toward much broader use of temporary or time-limited employment of various forms. Anyway, the result is that only a comparatively low number of men meet the “marriageable” standards. This factor isn’t the only one, of cours…	/r/BlackPillScience	10/11/20 02:22 PM
14	The percentage of 18- to 24-year-old men who were sexually inactive in the past year increased from 18.9% in 2000-2002 to 30.9% in 2016-2018. This fits with a number of popular theories and also animal behavior. Females cluster around the most attractive males (rejecting all others), while males prioritize attractive females, but reject few healthy females.	/r/BlackPillScience	07/07/20 09:45 PM
