There are some memes floating around with before-and-after pictures of women. The “before” pictures show slim, healthy, and attractive women. Once they enter college, though, their looks take a nosedive. They get fat, shave their head, neglect personal hygiene and may even get piercings and tattoos that will permanently lower their sexual market value. This obviously fits the observation that feminism is a competitive dating strategy, used by older women in order to undermine the sexual market value of their young competitors.

Stumbling across memes and chuckling is one thing, seeing this in real life is quite another. I had such an encounter recently. In my psychiatrist’s waiting room, hardly a place where you would expect to see Joe and Jane Normie, suddenly a potential 10/10 walked in. As a guy, you immediately see whether a woman has potential, regardless of how she may dress. She was young, very tall, and not even her slovenly clothes could hide her great figure. Sadly, she had chosen to squander all this potential. Looking at her, it was obvious that she was very troubled. Her gait was concerning, walking slowly and without a lot of energy. This alone would be enough to completely undermine her sexual market value. Her hair was relatively short and dyed green. It did not look healthy. The skin on her face was bad, and her facial expression matched the quality of her skin. There were tattoos on the back of her hand. Looking at her made you feel sad.

After a certain age it is no longer possible to fix such women. Of course, I am making the assumption that she had some agency that led her down this path. It is not at all unlikely that spiteful ugly female teachers preyed on her, encouraging her to look into feminism and pushing her into the arms of toxic leftist activist groups. I do not want to trivialize this woman’s obvious suffering, but had she been sent down a different path, she would now perhaps be the happy mother of one or two children or enjoy an easy ride through life, for a few years at least, in which she could cash in her looks.

I am familiar with the feminist push towards women uglifying their own bodies. Sometimes, these women do this to spite their boyfriend or husband. You have probably heard stories of women who got fat after entering a relationship and refused to lose any weight. I have encountered women suddenly stopping to shave their armpits or legs. I recall one girl I quite enjoyed banging. As we were getting it on once again, I noticed that her legs were not as smooth as they used to. They felt like sandpaper. She smugly pointed out that she, “as a woman”, owns her body and can do whatever she wants with it. Of course, she did “not exist merely for the pleasure of men” either. I chuckled and asked what she thinks we were doing here. This dumbfounded her, so I told her to get her things and get out, adding that she was welcome to return once she remembered where she had put her shaver. It did not take her long to return, with silky smooth legs and a much-improved attitude.

Attractive women should have an easier time recovering from bad decision making, but this only works if they have sex with men who dare to stand up to them and voice their disapproval. It it entirely plausible that the woman I wrote about in the beginning had a boyfriend who just shrugged when she began to no longer take care of her body, being more than happy that he has any woman to have sex with or at least spend time with. Still, women should be responsible for their own decisions so blaming the men in their lives is not helpful here. These women thought it was “fun” to ruin their body. Men did not make them do it. In fact, men make women work on themselves. The most attractive women want to have sex with the most attractive and most successful men and to get there, they have to stay in shape, dress well, and take care of their looks. On a societal level, however, this corrective effect of men currently does not seem to be that strong anymore, though, albeit I am noticing that there are more and more young women who openly support Trump or right-wing politicians in general, in an attempt to attract a successful right-wing guy, as opposed to some left-wing weasel who works for an NGO. The pendulum seems to be swinging back. Part of the current generation is surely lost, though.
