As a reminder, Juggernaut Law states that women with obvious flaws have surprisingly many suitors because their flaws trick men into believing that they are an easy target.

More evidence from OkCupid is here (click the archive link in one of the comments as the article itself was taken down): https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/8e7qy0/empirical_support_for_juggernaut_law/

They also probably get less chad dick so they’re more willing to settle with a beta orbiter

My thinking was that it is a combination of the two. Very unattractive women are probably unaware of JL themselves, so they underestimate their SMV and are happy with what they get.

The study is very indirect evidence of JL. If JL was false, then one would expect very unattractive women to be less likely to find a partner, which is not the case at all. So it's weak evidence at best, but still funny and still kinda a blackpill as the same effect does not seem to exist significantly for males.

OkCupid found this to be true in their data set when they still had the 5 star system.

From the article, "very unattractive women are more likely to be married"

I think the obvious answer is, the less attractive the women, the less opportunities they have sexually; and the more willing they are to compromise.

Whereas hotter women can afford to stay in the marketplace longer, because they know they'll be able to get married later.

Note that the study says "very unattractive women were significantly more likely to be married at Age 29"

Basically, unattractive women have less options and are happy to get married at all, so they marry more quickly.

This kind of confused me, also it seemed to make a lot of generalizations. It said that historically men of high intelligence have chosen to marry unattractive women, what are they basing that on? Also hasn’t attractiveness been subjective throughout history?

It makes sense that less attractive women would be married more since they’re more likely to be approached due to risk of rejection being perceived as lower. Maybe intelligent men are more “realistic” in who they have a shot with.

I don’t think there’s going to be any concrete evidence on this though.

Intelligent men tend to be more risk averse and make smarter choices. They fuck less as a result. Finding their low smv unicorn has been discussed before on TRP.

u/SophisticatedBean do you think that this happens, at least partially, because "higher value" women are less likely to be married?

Women become less likely to marry the higher their social status and their attractiveness because hypergamy pushes them to only want guys above them in attractiveness. A 3/10 girl will be perfectly happy with a 7/10 guy, but a 7/10 girl will reject tons of men because they are not enough for her.

Maybe the sexier women are less likely to marry because they never see a man as "enough for them", while the less sexy women are perfectly happy with their guys.

For men it is the other way around: men become more likely to be married the higher their social status and their attractiveness.

I think this is also plausible. More attractive women might have fewer opportunities to switch mates. Though what's interesting is that there is a trough where just unattractive (not very unattractive) women are the least likely to be married and more attractive women are again more likely to be married at 29.

Kanazawa's own explanation is that it's mostly well-earning intelligent men who date down excessively and who are then very good providers, so the women have no financial incentives to switch mates.

could be the other way around

why get married if you can just get the beta bux without the ceremony

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
