For those who don't know, OkCupid trends is the data analysis wing of Okcupid. It's years old and updates only 1x every couple years. Every time there's a new post, people go crazy because it's always redpill in nature. People are so so surprised how shallow and SMV-oriented people are.

Here's the recent post with my summary/analysis below:

Experiment 1:

Question: What is the role 'looks' plays in people's consideration of the opposite sex

Method: OkCupid removes photos from their site for one day and measures response rates

Results:

When the photos were restored at 4PM, 2,200 people were in the middle of conversations that had started “blind”. Those conversations melted away. The goodness was gone, in fact worse than gone. It was like we’d turned on the bright lights at the bar at midnight...Basically, people are exactly as shallow as their technology allows them to be.

Redpill Lesson: The advice given by women, feminists, and beta men who desperately want to establish something attractive about themselves is to "Be Yourself" and "Looks don't matter" because there's "someone out there for you!". And if you fail, instead of taking accountability and improving your looks/game/SMV, you simply chalk it up to "not being a match".

This is fool's gold and is propagated by both men and women. Women say this because that is what they want to be true for themselves. Beta men say this because they want to hamster away the fact that they are NOT attractive in terms of SMV/looks/body; thus, saying that attraction is simply "random" and there's a "match" for everyone validates themselves.

Experiment 2:

Question: Looks vs personality? Which one wins?

Method: a) Allow members to rate profiles in terms of "looks" and "personality". Look at a correlation between these two factors. b) Take profiles and hide the text/info. Look at how the rating changes (if at all) if people can only see photo with no information.

Results:

a) In short, according to our users, “looks” and “personality” were the same thing Graph.

b) Essentially, the text is less than 10% of what people think of you. Graph

Redpill Lesson When you ask women explicitly "what do you value in a man", you'll get a plethora of bullshit responses (good listener, generous, supportive, etc). In short, personality traits are cited while anything regarding looks is dismissed.

This is because women will actually hamster away any potentially prohibitive personality trait as being good IF a man's looks (aka SMV) is high enough. That past criminal record becomes "him lashing out as a youth", that unreliability becomes "a mercurial attitude", that lack of communication becomes "him just putting up a shell!"...IF his SMV is high.

The point is that looks/SMV will win out in the end. Women will justify whatever actions you do if your SMV is high enough. The local lonely guy at the bar who walks in shirtless is a "creep who is visually raping women", whereas the buff celebrity who does the same thing "is so crazzzzzy and so unique!"

Experiment 3:

Question: The Power of "Power" Method: Take two people with bad match% and fake them into believing it's a high match%. Do they respond differently if they "believe" someone is better?

Results:

Not surprisingly, the users sent more first messages when we said they were compatible...When we tell people they are a good match, they act as if they are. Even when they should be wrong for each other.

Redpill Lesson:

And if you have to choose only one or the other, the mere myth of compatibility works just as well as the truth.

What I mean by The Power of Power is your Frame. Your frame dictates how people respond to you; it's how you carry out your actions, not the actions themselves (within reason; don't be facetious). This is why we say that "RP is amoral". This also supports the notion of how women yearn for authority and seek any avenue to give up their agency; they will respond to any framework that allows them to follow a predefined structure.

This is also known as Hobson's choice, which is a psychological technique where you only offer a person one viable choice but present it as an illusion of two choices. This gives the person the illusion that they have "power" while it is actually you who control the situation.

It is creating a frame that only allows women to do what you want while you present it as what they should want.
