As we all know, consumerism & hypergamy seem to correlate quite well with one another -and as I always like to say foids are the harbingers of consumerism- so let's take a look at this unique find.
I love how right away we get hit with a blackpill, since this outright states that consumption of luxury goods contributes to unequal dating.Previous studies have shown that luxury spending may function as a costly signal for both men and women. Given that not all individuals can equally afford to purchase high-priced luxury goods, the conspicuous consumption of luxuries can be considered a hard to fake behavior that may signal underlying desirable traits (Miller, 2009).
Once again, it's refreshing to see academic articles support us.
Ah, always nice to see foids in-group take a hit.. Women appear to specifically benefit from displaying conspicuous luxury brands in within-sex competitions
So in other words, the whole "On the other hand, men benefit from displaying conspicuous luxury brands in intersexual competitions because it signals social status to women. Studies indicate that women perceive a man who displays conspicuous consumption of a luxury sports car as a more desirable short-term mate
In other words, we see that foids biological nature hasn't shifted much- thanks for confirming us yet again.fertile women are more likely to notice conspicuous status products
So in other words, foids more or less manipulate the spending power which men have, which makes me wonder what the true reflection of these numbers would be if we accounted for factors such as thisMoreover, men actually show a higher preference for luxury items when exposed to a romantic context. In particular, men report a higher desire for money (Roney, 2003), tend to discount the future (e.g., Wilson & Daly, 2004), and have a better recall memory for conspicuous status products in the presence of mating cues (Janssens et al., 2011).
I mean, foids already control most spending-power in the US:
Women make up more than half of the U.S. population, and control or influence 85% of consumer spending
The purchasing power of women in the U.S. ranges from $5 trillion to $15 trillion annually

Brutal, I think we see this reflected a lot in society- All of those constant "hustle n grind" courses must stem from something right?A recent study suggests that men are even willing to engage in financial risk-taking to compensate for a lack of physical attractiveness in order to increase their desirability as a mate (Chan, 2015).
When they compared this to other males, here's what they found:
In line with our predictions, male participants perceived the male target model who had just purchased the conspicuous luxury car more as a rival (Hypothesis 3), more as a mate poacher (Hypothesis 4), and less as a friend (Hypothesis 5) compared to when he had just purchased the inconspicuous nonluxury car
Dependent Variables | Conspicuous Luxury Car (N = 201) | Inconspicuous Nonluxury Car (N = 204) | t | p | d |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Perception as a rival | 3.55 (1.95) | 2.63 (1.54) | 5.23 | <.001 | 0.52 |
Introduce girlfriend to depicted man | 3.24 (1.78) | 4.57 (1.84) | −7.37 | <.001 | −0.73 |
Let girlfriend spend time alone with depicted man | 3.32 (1.96) | 4.49 (1.72) | −6.38 | <.001 | −0.64 |
Perception as a friend | 3.74 (1.75) | 4.73 (1.62) | −5.89 | <.001 | −0.59 |
Short-term mating strategy | 3.89 (0.69) | 2.85 (1.02) | 11.88 | <.001 | 1.18 |
So in other words, the struggle which foids illicit due to mens mature causes our own low-group preferences & struggles. Within this, we see how foids nature inherently correlates with that of consumerism, and thus drives male in-group mistrust over who has the "
Truly, foids are amongst the most shallow & materialistic creatures on the planet.
Personally, I've never cared much for cars: Perhaps, because I knew subconsciously it was mainly to satiate foids sociopathic tendencies to encourage male-on-male conflict.
