Not too brutal of a blackpill honestly, just an interesting bummer of a fact. If you've ever had thoughts of maybe connecting with a girl bullied by the same people you were and finding a gf that way, turns out, the odds were stacked against you since the beginning
. In fact, it's more likely that your boy and girl bullies would become a couple after connecting over bullying you

Basically, they studied relationships in 17 Dutch schools, mapping both friendships and bully-victim relationships, and they found that while gender is the main determinant of friendships, the bullying position also had a significant effect.

Depending on the school, same-gender bullies sharing a victim were friends in 33.7%-37.6% of cases, followed by same-gender victims of the same bully with 21.3%-25.5% friendship rates, followed by opposite-gender bullies sharing a victim with 9.7%-10.5% and finally opposite-gender victims sharing a bully with 5.5%-7.5% friendship rate.
Interestingly, if I'm reading this part right, the average friendship percentages between opposite-gender dyads in those schools are actually lower than any of those percentages, so it seems that boys and girls sharing the same bully are actually more likely to be friends than a random boy and girl, it's just that this is the lowest rate of all the different configurations

Basically, they studied relationships in 17 Dutch schools, mapping both friendships and bully-victim relationships, and they found that while gender is the main determinant of friendships, the bullying position also had a significant effect.
The final sample consisted of 17 schools with 2,130 students in grades 2–6 (Dutch grades 3–8) atT1 and in grades 3–6 (Dutch grades 4–8) at T2 and T3 (M age = 10 years, SD = 13 months). Boys and girls were equally represented.
Table 1 shows that of all victims sharing bullies, on average 14.3%–16.8% were friends (configuration 4a). For bullies sharing victims, on average 25.7%–27.2% were friends (configuration 4b). This indicates that there were more friendships between children when theyshare the same role in bullying than when they do not share the same role in bullying. In addition,there were more friendships between bullies than between victims who were in a similar networkposition.
Same-gender victims who share bullies were more often friends than cross-gender victims sharing bullies (on average 21.3%–25.5% vs. 5.5%–7.5%; configuration 8aand 12a). Similarly, both same- and cross-gender bullies were more often friends when they target the same victims, with a higher likelihood for same-gender bullies (33.7%–37.6% vs. 9.7%–10.5%;configuration 8b and 12b). This suggests that sharing the same role in bullying further contributes to friendships, over and above children’s gender.

The table shows that, on average, there was a friendship in 7.0%–7.7% of all dyads across all schools in the three waves (configuration 2). While 11.5%–12.8% of the same-gender dyads had a friendship (configuration 6), for cross-gender dyads, this was less likely to occur with 2.4%–2.6% (configuration 11), which was in line with the genderhomophily assumption.
In line with hypothesis 1, friendships were gender segregated: boy–boy (0.53) and girl–girl (0.55) friendships were more likely to occur than cross-gender friendships (boy mentioning girls: −0.02; girls mentioning boys: 0.002).
