You're Chad? I'm Whelmed

 The "Chad" archetype is designed to instill a sense of defeatist resignation, right?  He is the top 10% tier "high value man" whose "sexual market value" (so...power level?) is so high that you can't hope to compete.  To wit, you don't even register on a woman's dating scouter...radar.

If you look at what Chad actually brings to the table though, it's not a lot.  Abs and money...that's... it.  Anybody can bring that to the table.  If this is supposed to be some unbeatable adversary, I'm not impressed.  Furthermore, as far as foundational building blocks for a strong, happy, healthy, long-lasting relationship go; those things suck.  

You have to wonder if, on some level, the "manosphere" knows what a weaksauce opponent Chad really is.  I mean, even within the confines of their own narrative, he's constantly losing to the...what do they call 'em?  Oh, right, the uh "beta-simps". 

No, Dave, they're not "losing"; the women are settling because they can't get him

Are they, though?  Chad's an over-valued asset who doesn't have staying power.  Is it any surprise that women eventually drop him for something more substantive?  With his metrics, you could easily argue that a woman would be settling by staying with that.  If you're going to go "all in" would you want to do it with Gamestop or Proctor & Gamble?

OK, so Chad is a bush-league, two-bit, punk @$$ honky; should we put the kaibosh on him?  Hard as it may be to believe, I say, no.  There actually is a way we can use this phantom figure to our benefit and that is by reversing his polarity.

Rather than use him as a tool to engrain passive defeatism (honestly, hasn't progressive post-capitalism done more than enough of that already?) he should be used as a motivational tool.  Make him your "Kakarot" figure; the one you push yourself to surpass and transcend.  Maybe it benefits your dating/love life, maybe it doesn't, either way you still come out ahead.

The key takeaway here, though, is that Chad is a goober and you can totally take him.
