Video summary
The podcast explores whether highly attractive women are inherently more difficult or "crazy," arguing instead that their psychology differs significantly due to a unique selection effect in dating dynamics. Sadia Khan explains that beautiful women do not interact with an average pool of men; rather, they encounter individuals who are either intimidated by their beauty or driven purely by lust. Consequently, these women witness extreme behaviors from suitors willing to risk jobs and relationships solely for access, which erodes their naivety regarding male fidelity. This exposure leads them to view all partners as potential cheaters, fostering suspicion where a less attractive woman might simply ignore harassment without internalizing it as evidence of universal male danger. This dynamic extends to female interactions, creating an environment where other women perceive the beautiful subject as a direct competitor for resources and attention. When another woman receives focus from her partner while she is present, it triggers insecurity in others who feel less attractive by comparison, leading them to view the successful woman's friends or peers as adversaries rather than allies. Furthermore, these women often attract men with low self-esteem who are desperate for validation but lack emotional stability. The transcript highlights that when a beautiful woman ages and her looks fade, she faces a steeper decline in value compared to less attractive counterparts because much of their social capital was built on appearance alone. Without strong internal values or an identity separate from beauty, this transition can lead to severe insecurity and attempts to prove attractiveness through promiscuity rather than adapting to new life stages like motherhood. The discussion also addresses the "reality distortion field" that highly attractive women create for men, activating their short-term mating strategies which prioritize physical conquest over long-term commitment. Paradoxically, negative rumors about a beautiful woman's character or alleged promiscuity often backfire; because these traits align with what her current suitors are subconsciously seeking in a casual partner, such accusations inadvertently make her more attractive to them while simultaneously driving away men looking for stability and family life. The speaker notes that society tends to scrutinize the flaws of beautiful women far more harshly than those who are not physically striking, forcing them to constantly defend their character against assumptions of arrogance or vanity despite receiving a "halo effect" regarding their appearance. Finally, the conversation broadens to compare these challenges with the difficulties faced by successful men and high-earning women in relationships. For men, relationship success is heavily tied to self-esteem; those raised without validation may accept unacceptable partners simply because they are desired, whereas men with healthy boundaries can walk away from unstable situations. Regarding wealthy or highly successful women, the transcript cites studies indicating that some male partners experience increased cortisol and stress when dating a woman who earns more than them, which lowers their testosterone and reduces sexual attraction. The core issue identified is not just financial disparity but emotional investment; men often feel less attached to high-earning partners because they invest fewer resources into them compared to unemployed women whose success relies on the man's provision, making it easier for these men to leave when things get difficult.

do you think that hot girls are more
crazy always do you think hot girls are
more crazy in your own experience as
well I've been around quite a few hot
girls but some of them can be very
balanced but I W give me your treaties
on hot girls being crazy here's what it
is with a very attractive women they
don't get an insight into the average
man and how average men behave they get
an insight into men that are incredibly
intimidated by their beauty or
incredibly lustful after their beauty so
they see men either kind of ignore them
so the quiet good guys either just kind
of intimidated by them but the loud
gregarious kind of adulterous men are
after them so they'll see guys that will
leave their wives to be with you they'll
see guys that will uh drop everything to
kind of you know even if their
girlfriend's in the same room they're
quickly sneeking you their number
they'll see guys that will risk their
jobs you know if they're your boss to be
with you so they see men as these huge
Risk Takers that will do anything to
have sex with you so what ends up
happening is she loses her naivity about
a man she no longer thinks men are
faithful she's seen so many men break up
whatever they have just to be with you
and just to access you she's seen so
many men who break their back just to
touch you so what happens is when her
husband now says to her oh I'm just
there's a new colleague at work her
brain is like well every colleague at my
work is always hit on me are you hitting
on this girl or if if her husband says
I'm just going to the gym she's like
well whenever I go to the gym somebody
hits on me what are you doing so they
end up being suspicious because they are
privy to men at their worst when they're
sexually attracted to a woman they don't
have that naivity that a more plain
woman would have where she could walk
past a guy in a bikini and he doesn't
harass her she knows if she walks past a
guy in a bikini he drops everything so
she sees men as more dangerous than they
are and therefore she thinks her partner
is more sexual than he might be and as a
result she tends to be more intense and
crazy and less naive but not necessar
more accusatory I would say yeah because
she uses her experience about the world
to predict what everybody else's
experiences about the world and in her
defense beautiful women also it takes a
certain level of confidence and a
certain level of no fear rejection to
access a beautiful girl so her pool of
men tend to be the men that are more
likely to be unfaithful wow that's
interesting so very attractive women are
a selection effect for the kinds of
experiences that they have in life the
kinds of interactions that they have
with other women and other men so
presumably they'll often see other women
as threats well they well they've
experienced other women seeing them as
threats and they've seen the competitive
nature of women and they've seen women
cuz here's thing with beautiful women if
you walk into a room with a really
beautiful woman all the other beautiful
women will now start looking at you
thinking well there must be something
about I'm sure they look at you anyway
but they would pay more attention
because there must be something about
Chris because she's unbelievable so what
ends up happening is beautiful women
start to see how disrespectful other
women can be they're looking at your man
they're they're competing with you
because to get a beautiful woman's man
makes the other woman feel more
attractive if you walk in with an
absolutely 12 out of 10 and then you
give me attention I now think I'm
prettier than her so therefore I want
your attention more than the guy that's
with the girl that's not that attractive
so we see this competitive nature of
women we see that we can put men women
can put men on the map and they see that
men are very soft and they give into
Beauty quite quickly and easily so they
lead to a trust issue that is harder to
kind of overcome so interesting the
psychology of an attractive woman is one
that is very different to a psychology
of a less attractive woman they're two
different species yeah so you have women
seeing other women primarily as enemies
they're often going to be Frosty to them
U they're also kind of hyper aware of
the power that they can bestow on the
partner that they're with which probably
makes them a little bit tentative about
giving that man that power because if
they pre-select that particular type of
man you're putting him on the map yep
and then you also said that these
women being super attractive selects for
a very specific type of guy that is
sufficiently confident to go up speak to
you or men will make ridiculous and wild
u-turns in their life in an attempt to
get to you which also gives you a pretty
unrepresentative experience of what most
men are like yeah on and then when the
looks start to fade it's a harder
transition for them when the look start
to fade from a woman who is quite plain
she sees it as life when the look start
to fade um with an attractive woman she
sees it as disastrous because a lot of
the power has gone so they might not
always but they they might respond to it
with a lot more insecurity especially
after children but if she has good
values she recognizes that though the
looks are replaced with family
connection but if she doesn't have good
values and her identity is built on her
appearance you'll see that she'll go to
more and more extents to kind of um
prove her attractiveness and that might
lead to promiscuity so her identity
can't be designed and around her looks
it will make her very fragile it's rough
yeah attractive woman must be hard like
genuinely it must be very difficult to
try and go through the world because
with men
typically their value to the world
doesn't wax and Wayne in quite the same
way you know it starts off low even
super attractive guys will remain being
attractive for a very long time forever
like and you just have this sort of slow
and steady increase presumably and then
it'll dip out and then it'll start to
even afterwards and when it dips you
don't care if it dips by that time
you're so settled in life you don't care
but for women it can dip a lot earlier
and um there's a lot of talk about
pretty privilege and pretty privilege
this and pretty privilege that but
there's lots of disadvantages and the
main thing is people look for your flaws
a lot more what happens when you're not
attractive is people can accept what
you're saying and doing and they don't
really delve into it but when you're
attractive there's an element of other
women or even men saying well I bet
she's dumb well I bet she's a hoe or I
bet they're looking for the negative so
much more and then all they'll say I bet
she's really arrogant in very V vain so
you almost have to work against people's
negative assumptions of your character
as much as they make positive
assumptions of your appearance they make
lots of negative assumptions about your
character so you're in a bit of a battle
and then it's not as easy as it might
look to other people I saw what I was a
model for a decade and a half in the UK
and I saw a lot of the girls almost
counter signal they would turn up in the
most slouchy clothes that they could um
you know they would purposefully wear
their hair up they would purposefully
wear glasses um they wouldn't wear
revealing clothes they would uh try and
act in ways that were um more bookish
sometimes as well and this could just be
their personality it could have been the
girls that I was around but I also think
there might be something going on here
that they're trying to counter signal I
am more than just what I'm currently
being paid for as a part of my career
I'm more than just a pretty face I'm
more than just a lingerie model I'm more
than just someone that's supposed to
smile and G
on camera and is it hard for men to
realize that they're more than that or
is it hard for them to like do can they
compartmentalize and think that she's
got more good question do they do they
get overwhelmingly like attached to her
appearance so there's a big difference
between Beauty and hotness and most
models at least the ones that I was
working with it wasn't sort of Glamour
stuff or underwear stuff that much it
was you know like fashion stuff it was
like cutesy editorial Girl Next Door
type thing so it was probably optimizing
more for beauty than it was for hotness
okay yeah um and but certainly when it
comes to hotness it's a [ __ ] reality
Distortion field for men right and this
is what we were say this is the word
that was coming to my mind as you were
talking about this that the reality of a
a very very hot woman is like a sphere
that follows around her just distorting
all of her experiences with women with
men at restaurants getting into night
clubs with careers everything yeah the
super hot sexy woman gets it probably
the worst because they activate a man's
short-term mating strategies they have
long-term mating strategies with who
they want to family with and short-term
who they just want to mate with and they
activate that in uh men so a really sexy
girl will activate a man's short-term
mating strategies and she'll also
activate threats in women now women's
ual threats um when they when they're
threatened with a woman is to go prot
well suggest that she's promiscuous so
they might say to them to the men oh
yeah but she's really promiscuous not
realizing that actually makes her more
attractive to them cuz they're like well
I'm already looking for a short term
from misc trying to sell her yeah so
they think that they're actually
undermining her by saying she's so
promiscuous and she's a [ __ ] and she's
this that and the other but the man when
his short-term mating strategies are
activated that's exactly what he's
looking for so she ends up with men who
just want short-term meeting strategies
and as a result she starts to see men as
seeing disposable and therefore it can
it can be really negative for the hot
woman um it does make sense about why it
would be hard to have a normal a normal
mindset I'm aware that it's Anderson
effect yeah it's easy to throw shade
like our hot girls crazy like it's easy
to just throw shade at them but this is
why I I like these kinds of
conversations because it really helps
everybody to understand the experienced
psychology you know the lived experience
of somebody that's on that side of the
fence and you can say yeah pretty
privilege the halo effect you know she's
getting in for free at nightclubs and
blah blah blah it's like yeah but what
if she's got zero female friends yeah
what if she can't find a female friend
that doesn't see her as an enemy or an
adversary or a competitor what if every
single gu
that she spends time with is terrified
to speak to her or is it's just it's so
interesting so on the other side of the
fence do you think it's more difficult
for successful or desirable men to
settle down it's only difficult when
they grew up without valid when they've
gotten low self-esteem for men their
success in with relationships is very
much determined by their self-esteem
women can get a shortcut with their
appearance and so on and so forth for
men their self-esteem is either going to
propel them into a great relationship or
prevent them from any kind of stability
now if he grew up without any validation
and not knowing if he was attractive
what happens is his self-esteem is
almost um blocked at that stage of life
and then he can still be a sucker to
women and still kind of accept the
unacceptable simply because he wants to
be desired but if he has good
self-esteem and good boundaries he will
never suffer in relationships he just
won't because he knows when he's welcome
he knows when he's not accepted and when
when the relationship is not working and
he has a willing us to walk away so the
the thing is money with low self-esteem
is really really difficult it's a very
lonely path it's a lot of gold diggers
it's a lot of escorts it's a lot of
partying even at the Olden age now money
with high self-esteem and um good values
is you mean it's still difficult but you
you you can create something out of that
what about successful women they
struggle they they really struggle
because essentially with successful
women here's the thing men always say oh
when women earn more they leave men but
they don't realize why there's actually
studies to show that when men are with
women that earn more than them they
produce more cortisol they're actually
more angry and stressed around her and
that obviously has a negative impact on
their testosterone so they're actually
less sexually attracted to her and so
they're meaner to her they're mean and
also they don't treat her the same way
if a man is dating a woman who know he
knows is unemployed say if he's on
20,000 a year he'll still use whatever
he has to treat her well like you know
look after but if he's on 20,000 a year
and she's on 50,000 who nothing to
invest in her now women don't need your
money but they do need your investment
because that's how men fall in love the
more they invest in something the more
they attach to it if they invest a lot
of money in a car they really care about
it lost a lot of money into a Bitcoin
they want to see it go up invest money
into a Woman They want to see it work
out so when they are with a woman that
earns more they invest so little so
walking away seems so easy for them and
it seems so hard for her because she's
been the one that's investing in them so
it's very difficult it's not just the
woman who's rich and how she leaves you
the man no longer adds any value that is
the main issue he doesn't use whatever
tiny resources he has on the woman like
he normally would every single morning
