Some think that they are entitled to a fair world in which people judge each other solely on account of their behavior.
Some think they are entitled to a world where physical appearance matters for women but does not matter for men.
Some, finally, think they are entitled to a world where there is "someone for everyone".
But there is no evidence for such worlds.
If anything, all evidence across history has always pointed to a more complex picture, with broken hearts and unreturned love, lifelong bachelors and spinsters, kings who refused a bride on account of her ugliness or lack of nobility, princesses who did the same for suitors... Very long novels and plays have been written on the unfairness and cruelty of the mechanics of love.
Does it mean you should abandon all hope of finding a suitable mate? No...
But if you fail, it's not necessarily your fault or a behavioral issue.
The blackpill is not "cynical" or "toxic"... It merely tells you to have some self-awareness. All humans are somewhat superficial when it comes to choosing a mate. If you're very ugly and without any noticeable talent, you should be ready to accept that you probably won't land a female 10, and that you have better chances aiming for your looksmatch or under. You could get a 10 out of sheer luck and persistence, but does the probability justify the effort?
This is hardly an evil thing to say. I have read that in some Muslim countries, a great deal of importance is placed on the "matching" of couples. In this spirit, married people should be similar for the marriage to endure.
The blackpill also tells you to cherish even more your partner if you have one and are happy with her/him.
