As you said, the difference is that a 6/10 woman can still get a tinder match or flown out by a 10/10 for a weekend before getting dropped and ghosted. Once they are "widowed" by the 10/10, they can never go back to a regular guy and keep on chasing the dragon, even though its long since over. Closest approximation would be sexpats going over to SEA and suddenly seeing dozens of girls half their age chasing after them for the hopes of a better life. In such cases, they know they are the prize to be chased after, and they get to choose the winners: in finance, it's akin to moving from the sell-side (where you beg people to buy your product), to the buy-side (where salespeople beg you to choose them). That shift in power dynamic is huge, and can be incredibly addicting: imagine how much of an asshole any guy would be if they spent their entire life getting dozens/hundreds of girls chasing after them and looking for a hookup tonight. Yes, I know there are guys who have managed to pull it off, but it's exhausting compared to girls who are literal 3s or 4s that still have a "rotation" of dozens of guys on call at any time.
>>59070255Another great classic to look into is Shoujo -M- which covers the bad end of marriage to the yandere in a fascinating way. Everyone else sees MC married to a beautiful young wife, only he knows that she ruined his life in revenge and crushed him down to the point where he has no one to turn to except her. The truly poetic nature is realizing that the yandere's mother did the exact same thing to her dad, and now MC is stuck in that family with no escape as the next victim. It's very much a preying mantis relationship where you know she will ruin your life, yet the beauty and crazy sex makes it impossible to run away from what feels like utter perfection in the moment. I fear that this might be the end this anon is heading to....
