       That was, until scientists added a Plexiglas partition
       permitting a fish to watch another pair’s courtship (in guppy
       love, females glide along as males shimmy, body arched in an
       S-shape). Afterwards, the observer female often selected the
       previously courted male, even if a brighter-orange fish was
       available. If a drab male was initially courted for a longer
       duration or by multiple females, his chances of being picked
       increased even more.

       a presumed romantic partner to a man’s photo made other women
       score him as more attractive or desirable than the same man
       solo. Additionally, the studies that varied the beauty of the
       female partner found that making her more attractive also
       increased his score.

       Policywise, those who practice mate choice copying should not be
       allowed to reproduce. Only after we are left with a population
       comprised of those who do not practice mate choice copying can
       we accurately and thoroughly prohibit reproduction of those who
       prefer non-Aryan traits.

       Are you aware of the 80/20 rule? (i.e. 80 percent of women match
       up with the top 20% of men):

       You would think reading stuff like this alone would detour most
       people from finding a 'mate' and reproducing. Sad!!! If
       you do feel that way after reading stuff like this you can thank
       nature and Yahweh for all of it!

       But since Mate Choice copying is a non-Aryan trait itself, these
       women would be  non Aryan, right?

       Can you outline a mechanism for how mate choice copying would be
       selected against under Neolithic subsistence farming conditions?

       I was referencing this quote from your post:

       Which I assumed implied that those individuals would be non
       Aryan

       The reason why those who practice mate choice copying should not
       be allowed to reproduce is because they confuse the picture of
       who is making which choices for what reasons. Mate choice
       copying makes it harder for us to see who is Aryan and who is
       not. This does not imply that the mate choice copiers themselves
       are unanimously non-Aryan.
       Being a pre-Neolithic (indeed pre-human) trait, mate choice
       copying is certainly not a trait that emerged from the Neolithic
       subsistence farming lifestyle, so I agree it is not of Aryan
       origin, but as far as I can tell, there is no clear indication
       that this lifestyle selected against it either.
       I have even speculated that this lifestyle might have introduced
       a form of mate choice copying among men also. I have noticed
       that low-sexual-dimorphism men tend to idolize female
       celebrities more devotedly than high-sexual-dimorphism men. I
       trace it back to:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/mythical-world/aryan-monarchism/
       comparing it to male bees/ants/etc. pursuing the same queen that
       all the other males are also chasing (which favours those with
       low sperm production, since the less energy spent on producing
       sperm, the more can be spent on chasing the queen, success in
       which is what enables the sperm to be used at all), in contrast
       to males of less monarchist species whose reproductive strategy
       is based on indiscriminately impregnating a large number of
       females (which obviously favours those with high sperm
       production, since this enables more impregnations). What do you
       think?

       I agree. But in the case of Aryan females, if it is not
       necessarily biology that causes mate choice copying, then what
       is it? Environment? Then hypothetically, couldn't these females
       unlearn it? Or if it is biology, then wouldn't that imply that
       all Aryan females should be prohibited from reproducing?
       And what about Aryan males? Since you have theorized that there
       is a biological basis for mate choice copying among them,
       shouldn't they theoretically be prohibited from reproducing
       also?

       Another possibility is to circumvent mate choice copying by
       suppressing information about who is popular. There have been
       eras when high-class people did not go on outdoor dates and
       instead relied on professional matchmakers to set up indoor
       dates, such that no one except the matchmakers themselves would
       have known who was popular. Thus (unless they were bribing the
       matchmakers to disclose the information!) people would have had
       to go by their own judgement. If we were to adapt this system,
       matchmakers should be state employees for best results.
       The male version is actually an improvement, since it reduces
       their sexual dimorphism. We should definitely prohibit all the
       scatter-impregnators from reproducing first before we even start
       worrying about which of the queen-chasers are chasing the queen
       only because they see others doing so and which because they are
       independently arriving at the same conclusion.

       Female mate choice copying could explain perhaps why
       reproductive Eurocentrism is stronger among "non-White" females
       than males. Since reproductive Eurocentrism has been established
       to have some biological basis in preference for high sexual
       dimorphism, and we have also established that women who prefer
       high sexual dimorphism outnumber women who prefer low sexual
       dimorphism, it follows that even low-sexual dimorphism
       preferring women would fall prey to Eurocentrism.
       Among men, however, the extent of the effects of mate choice
       copying are minor (i.e. light skinned low sexual dimorphism
       celebrities being promoted more than dark skinned ones, due to
       the former being more popular among the general (I.e. mixed
       blood) populace).
       This is why I believe many ancient philosophers stressed the
       importance of "guarding" women from external influences, similar
       to what you prescribed with regard to mate choice copying.
       What do you think?
