It’s my belief that simps have always been around, and by always I mean that women exploiting simps is an evolutionary strategy that likely goes back to before we could be considered human. Though that relationship, with simps supporting women who themselves pursued the alpha males, had to be quashed in order for civilization to develop. To maintain a healthy functional civilization, you need to have monogamy, male dominance, and female submissiveness. This is why if we look back at early civilizations, there was zero tolerance for that kind of thing. Now, despite all of our technology and knowledge, we are socially reverting back to precivilizational barbarism and that will have (and already has) consequences.And ease of anything will increase the supply. Hence the explosion of simps.
To go back to the evolutionary aspect of the simp and his female counterpart. A few years back this weird artist girl made little comics of humans if they had the breeding/sexual characteristics of certain kinds of animals. One species of animals stood out to me, the side-blotched lizard.
There are three different kinds of males with this species. Alpha males who have harems, beta males who are essentially monogamous, and then you have extremely feminine males who can pass for females and skulk around the outskirts of the alpha male’s territory to try to have sex with his females. The last one is the simp equivalent. Of course the female (likely human and lizard both) would rather have the alpha male‘s offspring, but the one alpha male likely can’t provide enough resources and so the harem females get additional resources from those omega males and occasional sex with them too. Humans, like lizards, can fall into those categories but harems and simps destroy social cohesion and so must be minimized through upbringing, laws, and social pressure. In the modern era, not only have we eliminated those methods of reducing simping, but we have put in place upbringing, laws, and social pressure that encourages it.
