The song #selfie by The Chainsmokers is really the most accurate depiction of the modern western female.

We all know that women these days are smartphone zombies, unable to live without receiving dopamine hits and validation from their vast array of social media accounts.

For women, the use of smartphones is a means to receive offers of sex and validation all throughout the day. With text messaging and apps that connect her to Instagram, Twitter, dating sites, your average girl is receiving obvious and not-so-obvious sexual offers every other hour. Every girl now can feel like a mini-celebrity by updating her facebook and receiving many “Likes” to give her that rush. Just like in the Chainsmokers video, not receiving enough “Likes” might even warrant her to contemplate taking the post down.

A woman’s smartphone is like a casino, a short term excitement-filled dazzle of attention that gives her a rush many, many times a day. She gets her highs from male attention, her drama from her friends status updates and rants and her jealousy from others’ holiday snaps. It’s almost as if a woman these days only really needs a smartphone as her companion.

Women complain that men don’t take them out, and treat her like a lady, yet with a smartphone and the legions of men giving her attention she will feel no guilt flaking on the dozen guys willing to take her out in order to get a shot at some no strings sex with the one guy that won’t. Hypergamy is now unleashed to its advanced form with smartphones, women can dream and get their validation from guys well above their league with easy-access tools like smartphones. Although they’ll be used as slam pieces, the average plain Jane will feel as if she is a mini-princess after experiencing the multitude of random cocks.

This continual cock offers makes it realistically impossible for a girl to experience love. She can experience lust for a short period of time, but within mere months of any relationship, the sheer volume of random dicks still coming through her phone will make her truly believe like she didn’t get the best man she could have, or feel that her life isn’t as exciting as it could be.

Technology has really distorted the mating market drastically in the west, the effects of this in the future are undoubtedly set to continue and difficult to comprehend, but before we do that …Let me take a selfie!
