While bantering with a friend online, he send me a promotional video of a local university. They used a fat and pretty unattractive woman to talk about how great it is to study Economics there. I was puzzled by this because all I saw was a PR disaster. While there may be a lot of fat and unattractive woman at that university, as at any other, this is not how you get people to apply to study there. Even worse is that the name of that woman is prominently mentioned in the video, so you could easily look her up and learn that her only work experience so far consists of having been an intern at a TV studio, hardly a field you should go into nowadays.

I quipped that if this woman only learned to keep her mouth shut, she could have gotten a good-enough guy to settle down with by now. By keeping her mouth shut, she would not alert others to the fact that she cannot think straight, and if this leads to her eating less, it will help bring her weight down. Indeed, this is the baseline of female attractiveness. If a woman only brings to the table that she is slim, she should do well, in particular in this day and age. You may think that I am exaggerating, but I assure you that this is absolutely not the case. I even have a great example for you.

In the video below, you see three young women pretending to do yoga. The execution could be better, both individually and as a group, but if they cannot do such simple poses properly then trying to synchronize them is probably a bit too much to ask for. In any case, this is a really amateurish video. However, you notice clearly that these women are not fat. The one on the left is in a pretty good shape, the one in the middle is skinny-fat and the one on the right perhaps should put the fork down every once in a while. Still, all of them would be classified as “not fat”.

You can bet that just not being fat would be enough reason for a lot of men, even fairly accomplished ones, to look past any other faults these women may have. Assuming that their faces are not deformed, it does not even matter what they look like. Joe the middle-aged accountant who brings home close to six-figures would be thrilled to get any of these women as long as they remain slim and maybe do not talk too much.

I do not think that I am particularly misogynistic when I praise it as a virtue when a woman knows to keep her mouth shut. Quite frankly, when was the last time you wanted to have a deep, intellectual conversation with a woman? Even if it happened just yesterday, would you still have done that if you did not want to get in her pants? Similarly, if that smart, sexy woman you are wooing was a bit less smart, would this make you not want to bang her? The average guy would probably happily even marry a woman who is close to being retarded over lippy feminist, assuming they are of a similar level of physical attraction. There is obviously more to female marriageability but telling women to be slim and remain quiet is probably a pretty good starting point.
