Women & Instagram Ego

Let's look at another fallacious belief being propagated by the Tomasian. And that is that Instagram is wildly inflating women's egos and causing them to drastically overestimate their own sexual market value and what that value can obtain for them from men. The idea is that these women are following men on Instagram who are 6 and 7 figure income earners and that's causing them to misjudge the actual availability of wealthy men and making them think that it's easy to find a man who makes that kind of money, which is then causing them to demand exorbitant mahabs because they have a completely unrealistic expectation about how much money most men can afford. The idea is also that through using filters and camera angles and makeup, these women are convinced that they are at the high end of sexual attractiveness and thus deserve rich and successful men. This is the idea.

This Instagram fed inflated ego is causing them to look down on average men because all day long they scroll the accounts of millionaires and they receive endless affirmations in their comments and DMs about their own beauty and attractiveness. Okay. Well, first of all, according to red pill alpha male theory, high value men should be too busy on their purpose to bother with posting on Instagram. So I'm not sure who these millionaires are who have so much time on their hands. But possibly, the theory got that part wrong and high value men do have a lot of extra time on their hands to post pictures of their yachts and cappuccinos on IG.

Could be. And presumably, these millionaires on Instagram that the girls are all following must be from the extreme outliers of wealthy men who are under the age of 35 because men over that age barely participate on the platform. Only about 3% of male Instagram users are in their forties which is when most men start to actually own wealth. So, okay, maybe it's possible that there's some millionaire outliers in their twenties and early thirties who are actively posting on Instagram and being followed by delusional young women. It's not statistically likely, but okay.

We'll pretend it's the case. So what about women's out of control egos? Well, sadly but predictably, red pill theory is wrong again. It turns out research has found that Instagram is worse than any other social media platform for women's self image, self esteem, and overall mental health. Oops.

Despite what many men think, posting selfies whether touched or retouched, filtered or unfiltered causes women to feel more anxious, less confident and less physically attractive. I'll link to the study in the description. Women who actively use Instagram suffer depression, anxiety, sense of isolation and low self esteem more than women who do not use the app. So again, the red pill is acting like a hallucinogen. Let me propose an alternate hypothesis.

It seems more likely to me that average men are scrolling Instagram and seeing picture after picture after picture of seemingly perfect women with perfect faces and perfect bodies, and they feel desire for them. But they simultaneously feel that those women are unobtainable due to their apparent perfection except by high value men. They imagine that these women feel the same way about themselves that the men feel about them, but they know, of course, that they will probably themselves not reach that level of wealth and success as the high value millionaire men who they think are the only ones who can obtain those women since the overwhelming majority of us do not become millionaires and so they start to feel resentful and inadequate which they then blame on these unobtainable women whom they have made unobtainable by their own projection. This then becomes the theory stated above that all women are narcissists and gold diggers who have no interest in average guys. This idea, of course, may be exacerbated by any failed, ignored or rejected attempt to slide into one of these girls' DMs or perhaps exacerbated by actual encounters with legit gold diggers, women who use apps like Instagram for glorified prostitution.

So men start to develop a skewed view of reality unaware again that most of the women on Instagram in real life are average, normal and open to relationships with average normal guys as is substantiated by the marriage statistics about who marries who. So Instagram is actually preventing us from understanding each other. It's causing us to be confused about each other, and then to start thinking the worst about each other. But one thing is for sure, the Tomasi'in theory is complete rubbish again.
