As a former simp I can testify that simps and simping is pretty pathetic, but honestly accepting excessive favors and attention from someone you don't like (and likely even resent) is pretty deceitful and exploitative too IMO, and more intentionally so than being a simp is. Especially if the simp has a mental condition or something that makes them act that way. Simps aren't these conniving snakes, most of them are pretty transparent in their intentions and desires (to an embarrassing degree) and women aren't stupid. I find it hard to believe that many of them are actually deceived by simping behavior.

Here's an analogy. Let's say a schizophrenic thought you were God and you'd make him your right hand man in the afterlife if you pleased him. Even if you said you weren't God and couldn't do that, wouldn't accepting attention and money from him still be a dick move?

IDK I'm also tired of nerdy/awkward guys being made out to be the enemy. We already get enough shit from society, it sucks that even the people who are supposedly woke are the ones who actually shit on us the most. The most sexist guys I know are pretty basic and normal and have at least average level social skills.
