Many people aren't aware what this is but I'll help break it down to you how an Alpha widow comes to be.
So, for the sake of this story let's arrange SMV in percentile. 90th percentile is top 10%. The typical Western girl in her 20's isn't looking to settle down, she's looking to have fun.
Let's make a hypothetical girl: we'll call her Jane. Let's say Jane is a fairly okay but still very average girl, we'll put her at 60th percentile at the age of 22.
Jane likes to have casual sex with guys who are 80th+ percentile.
These guys don't mind stooping downwards because guys love sex and for him, she's just another plate to spin who didn't take that much effort.
Once, she even was the plate for a guy who was 95th percentile. A real top dog. She didn't even make this guy wear a condom. He's handsome, in shape, wealthy, has a nice apartment and an expensive car, and a fat dick.
He's sleeping with a lot of other girls at the same time. She doesn't care, because girls would rather be one of many in the harem of a high status male, than the one and only of some average looking guy. He fucks her a few weeks than he moves on.
This guy is now her high water mark for the kind of guy that she thinks he can get.
But her fatal flaw is in assuming that she could ever get such a guy to commit to her. This kind of guy will fuck her, but that's it. Why would a 95th percentile guy commit to a girl like that? Are you fucking kidding me? Not a chance in hell he would do that. But yeah, he'll dump his load in her every now and then, no question of that.
Fast forward 10 years. Now she's 32. She's gotten fatter, started to get wrinkles, she's less fun and cheerful than she was in her 20's, and generally less attractive.
She dropped in value to a men: now let's say she's 40th percentile. However, in HER mind, she's increased in value: She now has a masters degree in law and working for a law firm making 90k a year and has 2 cats - this is a woman on top of her game! She now decides it's time to settle down because that biological clock is ticking.
But she finds that any of the type of men that she wants won't commit to her. She's used to banging 80+ percentile guys (remember that one who was 95?) and therefore imagines that this is the type that should marry/commit to her. But the reality is now that she's looking at guys who are double her SMV. Men who are equal to her SMV, she sneers at because they're "creepy" and "gross."
She could do better. She knows it! She's just awesome, obviously.
Every man, all her friends, her parents, media, music, and everyone else in society has been telling her since she was a toddler that she's awesome and great and perfect. Obviously it must be true. And that's why she "dated" so many hot guys in her 20's.
But nevertheless nobody will commit to her. Why are men such jerks?! Where have all the good men gone?! The world has wronged her. She's a victim. She's owed something that she isn't getting, and it's men's fault, because they're the ones not giving it to her.
Now she's 35 and realizes she has almost no time left to have kids. She marries a guy who is equal to her SMV. Another 40th percentile. He's not a bad guy, and there's nothing specifically offensive about him, but he isn't in shape, handsome, interesting, smart, or wealthy. Never mind the fact that she herself is not in shape, handsome interesting, smart, or wealthy either - but that doesn't stop her from secretly resented his mediocrity.
She silenced this resentment until the kids were pumped out. But in her mind, this guy isn't her equal - this guy is 40 percent lower in SMV than the men she used to fuck. This guy is a fucking loser.
Till one day he leaves the toilet seat up after he came home exhausted from working a 14 hour day to pay for their children and she decides that she's had enough of his "abusiveness", that she deserves better. Cue divorce and cash prizes.
Now she's 40 and hanging out in bars buying long island iced teas with her kids child support money, hitting on men twice her SMV, while her kids tuck themselves in on Friday night and can never hope to see daddy again.
TLDR? This is what we mean when is meant when we talk about the consequences of unchecked hypergamy. Women fucking around with high SMV players end up with fucked up proprieties and a distorted sense of their own worth, and are no longer LTR material as a result. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the alpha widow.
And this, my friends, this is why hypergamy is ultimately a losing game. Hypergamy is not bad for men, it's bad for women. Women don't have to put in effort to obtain sex like men do, so when women have sex with top tier males, they think it's because I'm an awesome woman! He validates my (high) sexual worth!. In fact, it was only an anomaly. If pussy was a currency, hypergamy would be the inflation that makes it worth less than previously assumed.
Example of this:
This reminds me of my ex who is bi. She would say that she found next to no value in a guy who found her attractive because at the end of the day, she knew they would fuck anything. (This is directed at you WHITE KNIGHTS)
With that being said, she claims she preferred women. After all things considered, I think its because she was seeking legitimate validation. Something she was unable to get from men. No matter who she could end up with, if its a man, it didn't say anything about her.
A white knight comment on a girls appearance is virtual worthless because they throw it out at every girl to improve their chances of getitng their dick wet. It basically makes whatever you say to a girl worthless.
I would add that hypergamy will always demand someone who is higher SMV and women will feel "cheated" with someone who is equal SMV. The issue with alpha widows is that they don't see a guy who is, say, a point higher in SMV as being sufficient, because they have gotten sex from guys who are a few points higher. So one point higher feels "bad" to them, when it should be sufficient for "normal" hypergamy. A woman will never feel good about being with a guy with the exact same SMV, because that isn't hypergamy, but she should be satisfied with a guy who is one point higher -- alpha widowhood messes that up.
Final Points on possible critiques:
For you white knights on the fence, this isn't an issue of men who are intimidated by a strong woman's past sexual exploits. That if she tells you those days are over and she doesn't do those things anymore and he was a jerk anyway and she loves you for you and sex isn't that important anyway, she must be telling you the truth now. You're not being compared to what she had in her past, you're being compared to what she couldn't have. She never had the alpha, she just fucked him, and therefore thinks she could have had him, but obviously she didn't lock him down. It's not that you can't compete with her exes, you can't meet her expectations, and she will always be less happy in your relationship.
Also, I don't think girls don't care about their alpha screwing other girls, it's just they're afraid to give him grief about it, because they want to be the last girl standing. They think he'll eventually pick her over all the others.
What Girls & Guys Said
10 24Expect women to deny reality.
Very well articulated and easy to follow for those who want to understand.
Good MyTake
Lol, this is funny as fuck! :D Thank you for making my day! And I loved the comics too :) Reminds me of those redpill comics that some guys would post here... I missed those.
Anyways, life is goood :D
nice story!
i think she (a girl) should live in real world.. and practically think and realize which type guy can commit to her..
Girls are stupid
People who date on their levels
This is with looks, intelligence, wealth and so on
Should date *
But it doesn't work that way. Lol. A man can have all three of those that you mentioned and still not get laid because he is introverted or boring. That's why very powerful men get high class escorts. They can't get hot women themselves.
@Scrambledagain maybe they have pregnancy fears
@KawaiiPie67 Are you seriously going to look me in the eye and say it's THAT reason? No, it's not.
@KawaiiPie67 that was a pretty pathetic explanation.
Because powerful men USE escorts for sex you idiot. Escorts one job is to have sex and get paid for it. Men don't have to worry about them getting emotionally involved
And I said DATE. If you are paying someone to have sex that isn't dating. It's just sex
@Scrambledagain and @tyber1 yeah I have no idea why guys fuck escorts. I was jk mostly. But since you two R dudes why do you think guys choose escorts?
I think it'd be effortless for a powerful guy to get women right?
@KawaiiPie67 they don't have to worry about being used for their money. These girls make plenty and if they screw over a customer like that they'll lose their business. And they can ask for whatever they want, whatever boundaries they want, whatever kinks they want satisfied. Basically they can customize the girl to fit their preferences and not worry about just being used because they know they are being used because they set the terms.
@thesunstillshines9 I know what an escort is. if powerful men don't want emotional involvement, would it make sense to rather have a ons or fwb? dating? you need to attract the girl first in some way before a date and before sex. The two go hand in hand. What I'm saying is that a guy can't date the same level of women. Let me use 3 men (real life example). Me, my two friends. Me: I gym (6 pack, v-lines), 2 university degrees, business manager, musician and very self reliant. Friend 1. Bassist in my band. Druggy, stays with his parents, smokes and is a tad chubby. Friend 2. FHM model. Almost alien hot. Turned down a contract to Milan because he was pussy whipped by his girlfriend and didn't leave South Africa. He struggles with work too. Who out of us three gets the most women? druggy boy. Attraction for women is so complicated and one needs to be of a certain personality rather than have attributes like looks, intelligence bla bla
@KawaiiPie67 tyber mentioned a few but the demand for escorts are high because: 1) many men can't choose their sexual path, but can pay for it. Women don't have this problem. 2) casual sex should be fun. But many men cannot get it. What makes more logical sense? a month of going out trying to get lucky or just getting to it and paying for it? Again many women don't have this problem. 3) sexual fantasies and kinks. Many men cannot attract women yet alone choose from a number of them to suit their sexual needs. So men settle for incompatibility. Escorts can make up for this. Your girl doesn't want anal? Well a prostitute can make up for that. 4) just general less hassle. Like I don't have to go out to a club and compete against other alphas for a lay. A women can have a guarantied one night stand, an escort is the same for a guy. 5) especially for ugly men: they can at least experience fucking a hot girl that would never look at them in real life.
friends with benefits can fall in love or get attached What your saying is pointless
@Scrambledagain I agree with you in general, but I'd recommend you rephrase "themselves" in your first comment and "real life" in your life. Because, they do get escorts themselves and in real life, just with different motives.
No you date men above your level because you can't amass shit for yourself so you take ours.
Women are whores and this is totally true. If you disagree its clear you are in your feels and can't think straight.
No self respecting man wants to settle down with a whore especially an old entitled used up one.
So true. You cannot shake the ho tree and expect a good wife to fall out. Not even the world's greatest magician can turn a ho into a housewife.
Damn. Nicely written!
I think there are grains of truth in what you are saying, but this whole Take just REEKS of the ol' sodium chloride.
Then again, it must be hard to write something like this without sounding salty.
Fact: If you read the first sentence of this opinion and laughed, you have no friends. ^^
Lots of truth to it. Women have very poor judgement of looks on themselves because guys give them different signals. A hot guy wanting to have sex with you doesn't mean you're on his level, you might just be fresh meat to him.
This is why I will be reluctant to be in a relationship with certain women.
This happens without question. How common is open to debate.
As a man the simplest solution is to never commit before sex. Ensure she considers your smv high enough to fuck then surprise her with commitment of she's good enough.
So, what about the women who only want commitment before sex? They won't have sex with any guy unless they're in a committed relationship with them.
Which may well be smart. What happens then? They miss out on an opportunity that might have made them happy or maybe they take the leap together. Unfortunately men and women have conflicting aims when it comes to testing the others intentions.
