So over the past two weeks, I've been debating (a little too seriously) with red pillers on PPD. I ended up examining some statistics that basically invalidate their entire philosophy. The findings are what you would expect, but I thought I would share them here anyway!

Claim:

Hypergamy means seeking partners of higher value (for TRP, attractiveness) than yourself. The claim is that women will always seek men who are more attractive than they are themselves.

80/20 is the claim that, as a result of their hypergamous nature, 80% of women will seek sex with 20% of men. So 20% of men will end up having sex with 80% of the female population, or 20% of the men will have 80% of the 'sex.' Females will generally share an 'alpha,' or wait for an alpha, than settle with a 'beta.'

** Statistics **

From Dataclysm by Christian Rudder who examines the behaviors of men and women on the dating website OKCupid. This particular graph seems to support Red Pill claims:

Females only find 20% of men above average. 80% are rated below average in attraction. Men on the other hand rated approximately 50% of women below average, and 50% above average.

However, this doesn't prove female hypergamy, only that we have higher standards for attractiveness. For TRP's claim to be true, most females should solely respond to the top 20% of men (which in this case is anyone above average.) However, this is not true. More than half of the messages go to men who are rated below average, and even the 25% of men who were rated 0, still get 11% of the messages.

While we are here, let's examine males:

Males overwhelmingly approached good looking women, regardless of their own attractiveness. While the female messaging curve curves downwards, the male messaging curve constantly increases until near the end. The study found that 66% of men solely approached the top 33% of women.

Males were far more likely to value attractiveness than females:

Obviously online dating doesn't reflect the real world right? So lets look at the real world. I looked through CDC (2013) statistics here:

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/ad/ad362.pdf

Two tables are of particular interest:

Number of Lifetime Partners (25-44)

Males:

• 0-2: 20%
• 3-14: 51%
• 15+: 29%

Median: 6.7

Females:

• 0-2: 33%
• 3-14: 56%
• 15+: 11%

Median: 3.8

If the 80/20 Rule is true, then the male median should be MUCH lower than the female median. The center number in the set should be the average male, who has very little access to a female given that 80% are fucking the top 20%. This is not true, the male median is higher. This means that if anything a few promiscuous females are having sex with a large percentage of males, the opposite of the 80/20 rule.

• Number of Partners in Past Year *

Males: (15-44)

• 0: 16%
• 1: 63%
• 2+: 18%

Females: (15-44)

• 0: 16%
• 1: 68%
• 2+: 15%

This table shows that the majority of the population remains serially monogamous. The majority of women are not cucking their bfs, fucking chads or riding the cock carousel. This was true for women in their 20s as well, about 65% of them were monogamous.

Conclusion

• People in general would like attractive partners but settle for lower (duh). Women generally respond to men they think are near their own attraction level. Men approach women who are of higher attraction than they are.

• Women were found to be less hypergamous than men.

• It is more likely that 20% of WOMEN seek >20% of men. But in general the majority of the population is monogamous with one another. Nearly every person was able to find a partner and 80/20 was not observed in any age group. The reverse was more true.
