"Men climb the mountain to reach the top, women complain that there is a mountain top and declare wherever they to be the new mountain top." - 4chan

I saw something pop up on the sports news today. A story about a beautiful Kazakh volleyball player and how her beauty has garnered her nothing but adoration from fans but jealousy/resentment from her less popular teammates. Article (and pics) here.

This got me thinking about the old quote above and how it's interesting how different men and women are with regards to praising higher status/SMV individuals.

Women: As 4chan/anon so eloquently puts it, when women encounter something/someone that is higher status than them, they desperately want it to be a part of it. If they succeed in securing that thing/person of higher status, that means they have been validated.

Yes, men like being validated too. But women have specifically evolved to seek validation/security, because securing validation from high status sources = survival for women (Men were able to survive through physical means long ago; women could not).

But what happens when women fail to secure this validation from high status sources?

This explains why you see women swole-shaming fit men who have sexual standards and refuse to give attention to ugly women. This is why women beauty-shame attractive (and capable) women like the Kazakh volleyball player. They know they never will get the buff rich guy at the gym and/or will never look like Miss Volleyball, so they resent them and end up redefining the very definition of high status/beauty.

Thus, you end up with much of Western society, which explicitly attempts to redefine "beauty" as a 160 lb Dove body wash "model" and "attractive man" to mean "nice guy" (as opposed to Asia, which doesn't have a massive internal guilt/denial complex whenever a beautiful woman is praised in the media).

However, true attraction/beauty/status wins out in the end. No amount of hamstering can remove the visceral/subconscious reaction to high status/SMV/attractive/Redpill men or women. This is why beautiful women will always be resented by uglier women (And a mini FR: This is also why I banged a petite Thai girl this weekend even though she texted me "I'm not an easy girl" before our date).

Men: In contrast, men will recognize the power of status and aspire to achieve it.

When's the last time you heard a man say "Ugh, Arnold Schwarzenegger's body was propagating unfair standards for my body! I'm worth it too!"? No, men say "Get to da choppa! You're an inspiration and got me into lifting!"

What about "Ewww, that girl over there thinks she's SO hot...it's such a turn off!" Even if they have no chance, they will say "Dayum that girl is fine! Props to that guy she's with!"

(For those who noticed, it took only 3 lines to explain men's mentality versus a wall of text for women. This is not an coincidence).


In addition to comments on this post, what are some stories you guys can tell of outright beauty/swole-shaming you've observed?
