Black Pill Dating Theory?

[Ahriman]

From my limited exposure to BP ideas, it seems that once you strip away the self-pity and misogynic rhetoric, what you're left with is the idea that physically attractive people have a much easier time dating than physically unattractive people, and that beautiful people will be treated better in various ways than ugly people.

To me, that seems just a blindingly obvious truth.  And yet I see many people argue against it saying that physical appearance doesn't matter, which to be seems an obvious lie.

Is it as simple as it appears to me?

No, as there's a kind of overton window there.  As there are more people who would date someone who is highly attractive, the number of people that a specific attractive person is likely to date is only a small slice of those who would date them.   In general people are likely to date people of similar attractiveness and unlikely to date people of dissimilar attractiveness.  That keeps the dating window pretty much constant.

As to whether beautiful people will be treated better, so will rich people, or smart people, or charismatic people -- any valued trait is going to attract favor.  And so?

I get treated like a king in real life because people think I'm smart.
