I came across a couple of articles on The Guardian the other day, that got me thinking about how females approach the sexual market place. I've written about how men often approach it from the expectancy and equity perspective, which translates into a play based in reciprocity, where the man engages in actions with the expectation that the female will seek to bring back equity to the relationship through doing nice things for him (reward him with sex). This is the chosen approach that most men tend to default towards unless they find themselves in a community where the red pill mindset is common. In my article on the male sexual strategies I also touched on the fact that the Red Pill SMP for men is in many ways a continuous arms race to be in the top 10 - 20% of males that due to the nature of hypergamy are chased by most, if not all women.

However, apart from the female sexual strategies, I hadn't written much about the female perspective. The two articles I referenced earlier are both on beauty and beauty standards, the first dealing with the concept of the "beauty backlash", which according to the writer is concerned with actually rejecting the grooming standards that have been socially established for women. The second dealing with the tendency for women to photoshop the photos they share on social media.

While the former is clearly a part of the same narrative that most feminist and feminist-adjacent rhetoric centers on, namely to reduce any form of standards or expectations of women to zero, thus "liberating" them from the shackles of having to do anything except what they want, while simultaneously raising the standard of men, in order to secure an alpha (with just enough beta in him) for every woman, the latter is in a sense centered on women imposing standards on other women.

The latter is the far more interesting article, as it demonstrates that in the war for online attention women may live as in article one, but airbrush as in article two.This is the feminine created arms race, wherein women project their own sexual market frame on to men, just as men do when they engage in reciprocity game. The online arms-race among women for social media attention works to drive an arms race in the real world. When men utilize reciprocity frameworks, they are projecting the tendency of men to be deductive problem-solvers that seek to maintain equity in relationships, onto women.

The Feminine Frame - 80/20

The feminine frame is based on the concept of the Pareto principle, wherein a great majority of women are interested in the top 10 - 20% of men, while displaying no interest in the great majority of men. This manifests in that some men live in a world of sexual abundance, while the great majority are relegated to a position of sexual scarcity. The addition of hypergamy through which a woman seeks to bed and lock down a man who is higher sexual market value than herself, acts in a reflexive manner to increase the mechanisms outlined in the first sentence. Hypergamy can be summed up as "always seeking to maximize her high-SMV window", in which she will seek to balance her long-term and short-term strategies of alpha fucks and Beta bucks to reach the optimal synthesis of the two.

However, as I recently argued, "Alpha fucks" is arguably the longer-term strategy, as securing high value genetics can drive generations, as it has a probability of leading to an inner quality of offspring. Whereas "Beta bucks" is a short-term strategy, largely dependent on external characteristics such as wealth or social status. One can lose the qualities that makes one a good "Beta bucks" choice, however the internal characteristics that form the foundation for "alpha fucks" have a higher chance of being maintained and expanded over generations.

A woman seeks to lock down as high value a man as is possible for her, while balancing multiple other characteristics. She needs to secure quality genetics, but she also needs to secure provision and protection for her offspring and herself. A man who exceeds her value greatly is thus is a risky proposition as he may find another partner more on his level. In a sense, she wants to mate up, but not so far up that she compromises everything to do so. A woman may temporarily be able to engage in a liaison with a man 4 - 6 points above her own SMV, however this is a man whom she can never lock down into a long-lasting provision relationship, but that she can sleep with momentarily.

If one assumes that women, as do men project their own theoretical framework onto the other sex in a case of mistaken egalitarianism. The articles I cited, and female behavior in general makes much more sense. When one dives into statistics regarding fashion for instance, females 16 and over represent 33% of spending on apparel, versus 18% spent by men 16 and over. This makes perfect sense if women project the 80/20 frame onto men, as females would feel the same need and urgency to be in the top 20% of women as red pill men do to be in the top 20% of men.

Women inherently project their own sexual market perspective onto men assuming that in order to realize sexual market success they must be in the top 20% of women, as they know that they are truly only attracted to the top 20% of men. The remaining 80% are only chosen as a part of her "Beta bucks" strategy, which is a case of negotiated attraction. An early manosphere author I read a little over a decade ago was fond of the phrase "attraction isn't a choice", however he was only half-right. Attraction can be a choice, but genuine attraction is not. A woman thus assumes that if she is not in the top 20%, men experience the same feeling of negotiated attraction as she does when she knows that she settled.
