stevetirone takes the COTW trophy (a ball gag for your woman) with this astute comparison between the declining US auto industry of the 1970s and the declining US woman industry of the 2010s:
This is advanced fundamental market theory. The concept of the market itself is not devaluated simply because participants in the market fail to maximize their worth within it. Look at the American auto industry of the Seventies: the American Big Three auto manufacturers kept cranking out bloated, gimmick-laden, low-quality rolling monoliths because of the dynamics of industry politics and an effectively captive American auto-buying market. The Japanese came in with high-quality svelte gas-sippers, and were in place when an exogenous shock–the oil embargoes–overturned the market. Americans got yellow fever quick, because they couldn’t afford the costs of supporting road behemoths. American manufacturers were either forced out of business or forced to change their business models to survive.
Note the parallel behaviors of auto industry and modern women: being unable to compete with the Yellow Peril, they both attempted consumer shaming and governmental protection.
You don’t even have to summon a waifu to make this similarity between the old auto market and the new woman market work. Any thin White chick who doesn’t apologize for her “thin privilege” is practically demonized by today’s bloated, rolling American woman market. Consumer shaming has turned into man shaming (ugly feminists loathe male desire for a reason), and governmental protection of the old auto industry has become governmental set-asides and largesse for the new Unlovable Feminist Prerogative Industry.

COTW runner-up winner is Space Viking, making the important point that some odd sexual market behaviors can be explained by the Freudian concept of psychological projection.
the tattoos on women thing can actually be explained simply. women, like most men, are absolutely clueless about what the other sex finds attractive. just like the beta thinking that women only like pretty boys, because beauty is what he finds attractive, the woman thinks a tattoo will make her more desirable to men because shitty prison tats make her wet.
We all know that they are both wrong.
More evidence projection is at work in the sexual market:
Women thinking men value them for their smarts, humor, degrees, witty banter or, worst of all, sexual experience.
Men thinking women value them primarily for their muscular development, faithfulness, chastity, niceness or, worst of all, sensitivity.

Feminism attempts to shame men into denying what they actually find attractive and instead finding what they think men should be attracted too. It doesn’t work beyond empty lip service. Ugly remains ugly, no amount of social engineering through shaming will ever change that. Notice how feminism also seeks to make women more masculine in looks and behaviour. This tells us that what feminists are actually attracted to is masculinity. A conflicted and self defeating movement. Definition of movement, something that travels a short distance and stops.

I’m not the world’s most masculine man and I have absolutely found that masculine women are the ones that have contempt towards me. This is surprising in a sense. You might expect women who don’t live up to the traditional female gender role to be attracted to or at least like men that aren’t traditionally masculine. No they hate us! They are outraged that we are less masculine than they are.
As a young man I was somewhere between a pretty boy and a 100 pound weakling. As I have aged (I’m in my 40s) I have developed more of an alpha demeanor. It naturally happened as age took away my super soft edges yet didn’t take away my charm. I am at a real sweet spot right now. There are very attractive, very feminine, much younger women at my workplace who like me a lot. They try to hang with me as much as possible and are telling others how much they like me. I can absolutely feel the chemistry but I have no interest in a workplace romance, especially with a controversial age gap. Still I am flattered and this gives me confidence. Plus it intrigues me. Pretty, young feminine women like me while masculine, ugly women my own age hate me. I’m not complaining but this goes totally against conventional wisdom on who should be attracted to who.

Random thought: isn’t a lack of competition for American automakers one of the reasons everyone here is so excited about a Trump presidency?
[CH: no. nothing wrong with competition…that’s fair. which means, no more outsourcing (to avoid paying better wages and higher taxes), no more insourcing (of turd world code monkeys), and no more mass immigration to cheaply embroider the palaces of our 1%er oligarchs.]

So imported manufactured goods are fine and tariffs are still a drag on the domestic economy?
[CH: temporarily instituted tariffs can breathe life into sectors of the US economy. tariffs saved harley-davidson. now you can say HD should have died to make way for bikes at a better value, but then america would have lost an iconic symbol of her people. we aren’t widgets. symbols matter. the vitality of our small towns matters.]

I have thought about that same question.
I think a Trump presidency will focus more on evening out unfair trade deals (e.g., foreign car companies being able to sell in the U.S., while American car companies aren’t able to sell into their foreign markets) than excluding foreign competition simply for the sake of protecting the American manufacturers.
However — it may in fact be time to slap tariffs on foreign imports in such a way that American-made products and services are put at a competitive advantage.
And even if this results in lower-quality material goods (and I’m not convinced that it will) . . . I for one will happily live with the equivalent of shitty cars from the 1970s if it means I can live without the shitty people we’ve been importing by the millions since the 1990s.

That’s all well and good, but when the prices of essential goods and services go up because domestic steel producers lobby for a hand out, many of your fellow white middle-class Americans will be worse off.
Mind you, I’m not arguing for open borders and indiscriminate free trade (because liberty!). A relatively homogeneous society that looks out for its citizenry makes perfect sense. I’m just not convinced propping up Harley Davidson, or any other firm for that matter, is the best way to do that.

Close, but not quite.
Let me, once and for all, break down female attractiveness by race for you:
EURASIAN
Meaning in this case, a person with one white European-descended parent and one East Asian parent. The best of both worlds with a touch of the exotic.
WHITE
Because of the sheer variety. The only example in which diversity truly IS a strength
ASIAN / POLYNESIAN
Lots of beauties but also lots of fuglies and not much variety
MYSTERY MEAT
blasians, mulattoes, quadroons, octaroons, etc.
BLACKS

It doesn’t seem like a very good analogy to me. American automobiles weren’t always bad looking, or low quality. They only started to become less attractive in the 70’s and 80’s, and not all of them were that bad anyways. Of course allowing foreign manufacturers to enter the US market is not a bad thing in itself either, since it motivates the domestic builders to improve themselves.
Anyways, in regards to white women thrashing themselves with shit food, and tattoos, blame that on social conditioning, and look at where the (((cause))) of all of it is.

its dead on, you are missing something.
“They only started to become less attractive in the 70’s and 80’s, and not all of them were that bad anyways.”
The REASON they started to dip in quality and become less attractive is Detroit took their target buyer for granted because they had a monopoly. They were the only girl at the dance. They realized they could get away with producing shittier quality cars and would still get the same sales.
This is exactly what we are seeing, dudes are desperate aka sperm is cheap so weak men accept weaker and weaker quality product and suddenly boom a fat girl with prison tats demands only rich hawt 6’4 guys on tinder. It doesn’t matter to alphas, they only want the notch, but the beta “buyer” ends up fucked, the SMP adjusts accordingly, and society gets one step closer to resembling modern Detroit.

Another, albeit not likely wide-spread (heh), reason for the tats is that some women like to utterly engulf themselves in their man’s personality. They want to wear his shirts, smell his cologne, take up his interests, copy his mannerisms and catch-phrases and practically be suffocated by him mid-coitus. They want tattered men, so they maim their beauty to signal that they are on board with the scene.
