It only takes a very cursory look at data from the past – history books, novels, paintings, photographs, records and testimonies, statistics – to observe that in olden times, ugly men had it a lot better, in all areas of life. It is not my intention to prove such a thing to my readers. Casually dismissing the tautology that ugly men had it better in the past displays a willful and crude ignorance of all Western culture, ignorance that I have no intention of remedying by myself.

Now, why did ugly men have it better in the past? Many explanations have been proposed over the last decade by a variety of thinkers. They all fall short of the truth, in my opinion. Here are the most common explanations devised by the "manosphere":

  • Women don't need "beta bucks" anymore. For most of recorded history, women needed a man to bring home the proverbial bacon. Now that they work themselves, and work in a real job, not as some kind of domestic slave, they can afford to strive for men in better accordance with their innate tastes. It is not even necessary that their paramours work, since the weaker sex has got everything under control. Get lost with your bacon, Freddie; I ain't putting up with your ugly ass no more. Now that is certainly a great part of the explanation, but it merely opens the door for more questions: why did women suddenly start to work? Why didn't they work before?
  • Feminism: accusing feminism is like accusing anti-Semitism of having killed Jews. It raises more questions: where did feminism come from, and most importantly, why did it meet so much success and so little resistance. I personally can't take seriously anyone who stops his intellectual journey at "feminism".
  • The Jews: under this conspiracy theory, Jews have attempted to undermine Western society for thousands of years, and saw in women a tool to realize this burning desire. The liberal policies pushed by the Jews have had for effect to strongly decrease the fertility rate of Christian whites, and accidentally, to completely exclude ugly men from the reproductive market. I find such a conspiracy theory unconvincing because modern Jews, excluding the very few who remained orthodox, suffer from the exact same problems as every other race nowadays. And even if the conspiracy was real, just like for feminism, it doesn't explain why white men went along with it so easily.
  • Technology: the famous contraceptive Pill was invented shortly after World War II and finally uncoupled sex from children. Traditional morality had so far explained the taboo on sex partly by the risk of out-of-wedlock births, an argument that no longer had any basis. Simultaneously, the rise of homemaking electric appliances (refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, vacuum) delivered the housewife newfound free time, time she decided to use for work and economic independence rather than for leisure. But can technology explain everything?
In my opinion, the fifth explanation, and the most accurate, is the rise of atheism, heresy and indifference towards religion.

Christianity never had the stated goal of making the life of ugly men easier. However, its policies and its influence on culture, for a reason that may be fully coincidental or fully intended for (which I believe, given the usual type of the priest class), did this precise thing for nineteen long centuries.

Do I need to enumerate all the things Christianity did for ugly men? I probably don't, but I will do it anyway:

  • The institution of marriage between one man and one woman (enforced monogamy). It is similar to a forced peg between currencies that strongly devalues Chad currency and strongly increases the value of omega currency. If you don't understand why or how, go back to the basics on mammalian sexual dynamics and female hypergamy.
  • The strong prohibition of divorce
  • The strong prohibition of sex before marriage
  • The separation of the sexes in school.
Just try to picture in your putrefied mind the net reduction in suifuel it was for an ugly boy coming of age. An ugly boy coming of age in XVIIth century Prussia would have viewed with utter lack of understanding the anguished discussion that takes place on this forum. He would never understand all the self-hatred and suicidal ideation. For him, life was all set-- study law for a few years with good-hearted comrades (rather than devious assholes ready to throw you to the wolves to get laid), then find a virgin wife. Even as a god-hating atheist, you must necessarily respect that; the kind of institutions and moral cadre that authorized such a thing is necessarily respectable, that it rested on "false foundations" should not matter to you unless you're the nihilistic type who prefers truth to life itself.

I would add something possibly more important than all this-- religion gave ugly men self-respect. The more you insist on the value of work, chastity, virtue and works of the mind, the more you devalue the animalistic and Dyonisiac aspect of the human species. In the Middle Ages, Chad was worthless -- ugly bishops, civil servants or craftsmen were able to tower over him and strike fear into his heart. Try to picture that for at least one second, then get back to fapping or whatever.

Very good insights.
 
I agree. Good post.
 
I skimmed over your post because I think I was able to understand the message pretty quickly; religion is best for society.

I was able to identify this in my mid 20s, after taking time to understand the nature of men and women.The hypothesis I created based off of my real life experience was that religion was necessary to perpetuate society shortly after agriculture was discovered. It is human nature to question what we were told, which is why we are all called children in the religious texts. At the end of the day, papa (GOD) knows best, but we don't know that for sure so we (by we I mean humanity as a whole) always try random bullshit to see if papa is wrong.

We were just unfortunate to be born in a time when the majority of humanity decided to test the words of papa. I think we will go back to monogamy and slut shaming eventually, but not until everyone realizes that allowing women to sleep around is bad.... again... for the 5 billionth time.

If there is a heaven or hell, maybe us incels are the holy ones and will end up in heaven. I don't really believe that, as I am an athiest, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case after I die. Then again I fucked whores so maybe I'll go to hell. Whatevs.

even if you dont believe in god, you should believe in religious law, or you are a cuck, plain and simple
 
Very good post. Men didnt take into consideration female hypergamy when we gave women equal rights and access to technology.


Back in Medieval times a woman would have never travelled more than 7-10 miles from where she was born, unless it was as part of an arranged marriage. Populations were far lower, there was no internet, no pictures etc. So the only guys she will have ever seen would be with her own eyes, if shes lucky she may have caught a glimpse far off in the distance of some nobleman's chad son.

But now women have easy visual access to the absolute 10/10 top genetic tier of men to have ever existed, supplemented with modern technology (workouts, steroids, photoshop filters).

Globalization is not the natural state for man.

Your hypothesis is hardly controversial nowadays. Most atheistic scholars share this view. A good example is Yuval Noah Harari.

Yeah, ugly nu-males still think the sex will trickle down to them. Give them more time.
 
You religionists are a dime a dozen, always looking for an opportunity to push the magical kike on a stick. Let's not forget how the church devalued sex, which was considered a necessary evil, and encouraged clerical celibacy, which lead to widespread immorality during the late Middle Ages. If not a member of the aristocracy, Chad was the Christian priest or bishop surrounded by his numerous concubines and bastard spawn. Liberalism and cultural Marxism, the two plagues that have destroyed western civilization, are secularized forms of Christianity.

Someone needs to stick his magic Jew up his ass where it belongs.
 
Marriage attempts to reduce inceldom by embracing the STATUS, reducing inceldom as women had to rely on men, compensating for bad looks with betabuxxing but now they don't, so it's all about lookism.


To ensure society stability we would need to get rid of feminism and go back to in the days, take the jobs of women and take away their voting rights. Then school shooting and other ER actions will decrease.
 
@BringBackPatriarchy Your entire discourse could be summarized as "it is impossible to restrain your sexual urges". In other words, you are a degenerate. Stop fapping for a while

Also, good luck at "bringing back patriarchy" without religion. The Romans proved it can be done, but they ultimately lost control.

Yes. But you've stopped there instead of continuing asking questions. Why has society changed, turning its back on religion and towards atheism? When did this begin? The Enlightenment. Who was behind it? Mostly Freemasons, with Voltaire using Isaac Newton as the new Christ-like figure of The Enlightenment. Why? Their goal was to turn the masses away from religion and aristocracy so that they themselves could seize power, to erase from the common man personal sovereignty under a supreme being so that they would become mindless, drone-like zombies useful for slave labor, all the while cynically believing in a supreme being themselves. Who do the Freemasons serve? Jews.

The Enlightenment was the beginning of the end for the West, and the rest of the world has been dragged into modernity along with it.

Many factors explain the progressive downfall of religion in the West. The Enlightenment is one of these factors, along with the Reformation, however René Guénon demonstrated quite eloquently that the etiolation was ancient and probably started as soon as the XIVth century.
 
good-hearted comrades (rather than devious assholes ready to throw you to the wolves to get laid)

Chad was worthless
High IQ post. People underestimate the value of male friendship. Not only do women ignore us, but our potential male friends do too (because they are preoccupied with women). If males stopped chasing women, and focused on their male friendships, the women would eventually have to follow (because thats what they naturally do). And yes, Chad can't have power if the majority of males unite and stand up to him.
 
I get the point. I think most people do believe in god. Christianity is still out there and there are some sects which are still pretty strict. But even their leaders don't live their lives according to the gospel. People only flock to religion when they are scared of death. Back in the 17th century death was much more present. Something as simple as a tooth ache could be fatal. Improvements in health care and hygiene allowed people to have a longer life span. Food production also increased. People no longer had to rely on their local staple for nourishment. Exotic and more nutritious foods became easily available. Nowadays you can go to any store in the remotest parts of the world and you will find fruits and vegetables produced in the tropical regions. With more food on the table people had more energy to pursue other activities.That's why it took so long for the world to be blessed with Newton and Einstein and countless other genious. Literacy level is another factor which cannot be ignored. I am able to talk to you in a common language which we both understand even though we were born and raised in different countries. I think Christianity will never die out but it is unlikely it will be as influential in people's behavior as it once was.
 
Bump. This is the most work I've put into a post so far, and I'm pretty proud of it. It summarizes 10 years of intellectual journey on the subject.
 
Yes Its true, good post.

Todays culture of sexual liberation, no religion etc is nothing but a disaster. Males are occupied with "slaying" and mogging eachother all thruout high-school and college, even in work life males try to mog eachother to get the hot stacie.

Everything is about sex: Tinder, movies, all the porn, marketing, EVERYTHING, people are obsessed with increasing their status (so they get more sexual value), making them obsess about social media profiles and utter nonsense.

Femoids start getting slayed at age 13, when they are 30, they have taken minimum 50 different cocks, MANY from guys with huge cocks and who are typical slayers with the Chad phenotype. Now they gon try settle down with some little high IQ smart beta male provider who does NOTHING for them any longer, as they have been desensitized with Chad during all of their youth.

The high IQ beta male now have to try surpress his feelings of utter disgust of his wifes sexual history, deep inside knowing she have been drinking loads of cum from different guys way more "alpha" than he ever will be, who are better in bed than him with larger cocks.


Femoids, with zero rational thinking, as usual, dont understand nothing about this. They live in the present moment, not questioning things in the same way that males do.

So after 2 years of marriage when they realise they simply cannot feel the same lust for their husband, as they did for "Jack the 27 year old MC guy" when they were 22, they decide to divorce.

They get 50% of his money, all their friends cheer for them, "you go girl! You are a strong independant woman! You dont need that jerk who didnt buy you another fucking golden watch for your 2 year anniversiry!". She gets so much positive reinforcement from her peers so she never second guess her choise.

Little beta provider is now alone again, wondering what happened.


Its a fucking disaster, due to the extreme primitive mind of the female, a society NEED some kind of religion to function, you have to install the fear of the wrath from god into these femoid brains, If not, they will act purely on their instincts: To go after Chad cock. Chad, being the strongest most alpha most robust large-jawed testosterone driven beast.

Eventually, society crumbles, tons of violence, tons of kids with no fathers present, no morals left, dekadens, no virtues, no love, nothing but pure animalistic rage in a darwinian djungle.

Your argument about religion doesn't really hold water. Christianity customs, like any set of laws, only applied to public activities. People have always fucked around. Women have always had abortions. They could do so freely even before marriage, as virginity tests are just a myth. Chads maybe were not in power, but they were impregnating more than their share of women nonetheless (paternity tests came long after chemical contraception).

No set of laws can control private matters without a technologically advanced totalitarian society. Just see how despite Christianity having zero tolerance for homosexuality, for a hundred generations, the homosexuality genes are still very much present, and dominant in 10% of the current population.
 
I'm glad it's over. I like seeing women for their true colors. I always prefer the truth no matter how disconcerting. I would never want a wife knowing what I know now. Imagine marrying a women who loathes you and yearns for a higher value man. Fuck betabuxing. It's literally only a tiny step away from escortceling. It's over. Christian monogamy and civilization are toast. All that's left now is the elimination of the human race via singularity. Good riddance.
 
Feminism and cultural Marxism wasn't prominent back then. Lefties, through the sexual revolution, simply worsened the situation for ugly men.
 
Medieval world order was the best one for incels.
 
Good post, there's one factor you don't directly touch on -- maybe you imply it?

Chads can HOARD multiple women, either simultaneously or successively. The latter happens when they maintain a same-aged girlfriend for a while but afterwards date a younger woman. Look at NYT columnist David Brooks (hardly a Chad) who is a super hycroprite always bemoaning the fall of marriage -- but this asshole entirely monopolized one woman's fertility years (the couple was both gen-x), divorced her, and recently married a millennial in her 20s. This sort of thing is happening all the time and there's a domino effect that ends up impacting the sexual options of men in their 20s.

This is David Brooks and his MILLENIAL wife. Incels should make this a meme.

Christianity wasn't merely customs. There was an authentic fear of Hell in the population - fear many here would do well to acquire.
 
Social media also played a major role.

People here have enough problems, they don't need to get infected by this mental disease you call religion. There's no such thing as hell.
