Summary

Blue Pillers confirm obvious; Beta traits are not rewarded and never will be despite claims to the contrary. Marriage is a losing game, but doubly so for Betas. Part debunking, part pep-talk.

Body

Before I begin, today’s post is brought to you by our loving friends at r / thebluepill when they posted this study and its predictable conclusion that:

"...daughters of working mothers are more likely to be employed, hold supervisory positions, and earn more money than the daughters of women who don’t work outside the home."

Absolutely Shocking. Daughters with working mothers also end up working like their mothers. That’s really not our concern however, mothers and daughters can do what they want. I’m more concerned for the boys:

"The researchers also found a statistically significant effect on the sons of working women, who are likely to spend more time caring for family members and doing household chores than are the sons of stay-at-home mothers."

Nothing wrong with that. What? Were you expecting me to label little Timmy a hapless Beta because he does more laundry? Absolutely Not. So far none of this should be shocking; Mom furthers her career while little Timmy polishes up on his baking and cleaning skills in her absence (no mention of a father figure, but that’s a different topic).

The study goes on to say that:

"Non-traditional, or egalitarian attitudes are associated with better employment outcomes for women and more gender-equitable division of household labor"

In other words, women's earning potential continues to outpace men while hubby has more time for laundry. And we at TRP all know there’s nothing more attractive than a man who earns less and contributes to bridging the ‘gender-equitable’ division of household labor. LOL.

Moving on:

"The effects on these labor market outcomes are non-significant for men, suggesting working mothers provide role models that affect their daughters’ choices without corresponding negative effects on their sons"

So maybe things aren’t as bad as we thought? According to the study, everybody wins! I mean, it says right there ‘without corresponding negative effects’ so maybe being slightly BP isn’t so bad after all? Maybe Timmy has a fighting chance in the marriage market despite beta role models?

Finally:

"Parents transmit gender attitudes to their children, and those gender attitudes, in turn, shape decisions about whom their children marry…"

I couldn’t agree more. Let’s see how well this template holds up in the world of attraction, shall we? With no negative affect on little Timmy, surely Timmy will be recognized as viable in the marriage market? After all, working mothers “provide role models that affect their daughters’ choices” - let’s see how the nations daughters have interpreted this new trend in the real world:

What Makes A Good Partner from Pew Research

“provides a good income” was the only characteristic that generated large differences depending on whether the inquiry was about a husband or a wife.”

Oops. Sorry Timmy, looks like most women are looking to marry-up despite what your mom and sisters told you. Not to worry though, I’m sure your ‘gender-equitable’ focus on household chores will surel…

“Of all the traits tested, being good at household chores ranks among the lowest in importance. “

Oh. Umm.. Well, okay. I mean... You’re still a really nice guy though, I’m sure women are attracted to selfless, sensitive men becau…

From Personality and Individual Differences :

The study suggests that narcissist's' “ability to acquire resources, and are entertaining and self-assured. These traits are attractive to females in relationship contexts.”

Sorry Timmy. You lose the game. Oh, and Timmy… If despite the odds you do get married, fair warning that Chad Thundercock will be making an appearance shortly...

Lessons Learned

The data is clear and our mission is just. If you’re beta, you’re disposable and at worst invisible.

You have nothing to gain being Blue Pill and everything to lose. To be Blue Pill is to be forgotten, overlooked and discarded. No matter how much wishful thinking, the data clearly shows adherence to a flawed concept of attraction will never translate to value any more than a logical argument will convince you that "Big is Beautiful".

Gentlemen, don’t be deterred in your pursuit of TRP. The data is clear and the divide is real.

If you must get married, then be sure your marriage is solidly RP. If not you’ll surely be another percentile in the roughly 50% divorce rate.

Don’t be another Timmy, or better yet - don’t get married.
