Like it or not, your partner helps define your status

Last week, a very bitter Gamma male expressed his outrage at the fact that a beautiful woman reassessed her initial appraisal of me after seeing Spacebunny and realizing that she had categorized me inappropriately.

But like it or not, that’s how it works. And men, you know perfectly well that you think more highly of a man with a beautiful wife and less of a man with a fat, unattractive one. Women do exactly the same thing, only they’re less focused on physical attraction and more on the materialistic things they value; a nice car, a beach house, a powerful title, or a meaningful credential.

That’s exactly why the Andrew Tates and other social media fakes are always hiring hookers and models to pose with them; because it creates an illusion of success that many men foolishly believe.

43 yrs old, new girlfriend, new yacht, no kids, crypto millionaire. Does it get any better than this?

Neither the girl - who isn’t that hot - nor the boat - which isn’t even close to being a yacht - belong to this wannabe. But the fact that he’s posting this false front is testimony to the way in which our partners provide information about us to others and help define the status that can only come from outside ourselves.

That’s the reason, of course, that so many low-status men react so instinctively, and negatively, to the SSH, to this site, and even to me. Because everyone else is willing to lie to them and protect their delusions about themselves and the world around them. I’m not doing this to be cruel, anymore than I wrote Probability Zero with the idea of making evolutionary biologists feel terrible about devoting their lives and careers to unscientific nonsense. I’m writing about it because it’s true, and only when you comprehend the truth to the best of your ability can you utilize it to improve yourself, your situation, and yes, even your status.
