In my experience this research is accurate, for LV men specifically. Studies like this show that subsciousnly the ego of a LV man is being better the women they're with, by being more successful. I saw dozens of responses to this research title of women saying their ex became more depressed upon when they succeeded at something, even breaking up with these women after they reached a milestone in their career or their life.
This is a good way of vetting for a HV man, as they will be your biggest cheerleader and supporter. But a LV man can also definitely appear supportive, can encourage you, listen to you about any problems and admire your achievements. However, eventually, this will get to them. It will being to sting their little ego, and they will treat you like shit because your mere presence or sound of your voice reminds them of how pathetic they feel. A womans success in life will start to feel like a knife slowly going in his back. His mental health will be be affected, he will feel like shit about himself and compare himself to you. I am speaking from personal experience! Be wary of any man who seems to stop being himself, and feels down. coincidentally at the same time as you levelling up, achieving your dreams or exceling at something recently.
The LVM is incredibly insecure and your success is basically forcing them to hold a mirror in their face reminding them that they have not achieved what they wanted in life, whether it be socially, academically or emotionally. This is why you should avoid any underachieving man who is struggling to get what he wants in life. He most likely WILL take it out on you, he will become like a rock bound to you and will subconsiously want you (or need you) to sink down with him to his level.
No job? Run. Dropped out of uni? Why are you still standing there with him? You sense a discontenment from him about some area of his life? Avoid him like the plague. He doesn't know what he wants in life and has no direction in life? Stay away from him! He is telling you he is going to train and work really hard and will soon be really successful once his master plan works? Still run.
This is likely why men oppressed women for centuries. Their masculinity and ego literally depends on being above woman. Many men who might even be open to feminist views or respect women unconsiouly believe this too. Don't be fooled thinking a man is high value because he agrees with feminism! This may not be how a HV man thinks, but it is definitely how LV men think, and their envy of successful women can be very easy to spot. I have sensed men's resentment towards female family members who are more successful. Men who have mothers who make a big salary, or sisters, seem really insecure and stress about their jobs because of the salary is not high like their female relatives. LV men dont just think women are beneath them, they need to think it, because they hate their scrotey selves.
The article:
This is why having standards where the man is at BARE MINIMUM on your level with the desire to further himself is very important! Never go for a man beneath you because he will never respect you for it. Ever.
Lol their insecurity is of no concern to me. I'm doing me.
Can confirm. I'm not sure I've ever met a HVM, but all the LVM I've been in relationships with (pre FDS) have been insecure and jealous of my success and independence. Even the <<one>> who seemed supportive - sulked, then cheated - when I achieved a huge career victory.
“However, women’s self-esteem was not affected by their male partners’ successes or failures, according to the research, which looked at heterosexual Americans and Dutch.”
This confirms to me AGAIN that women are superior. We can rejoice in others’ successes, and we don’t need to be propped up by the Failure Gender, in order to feel good about ourselves. 👏🎉
