Influx of Women: How would society cope?

Alright, since I didn't do my duty and let the Escapist go on a bit of a dry spell I'm back with one of my signature topics.

Though, this one has a bit more weight to it (heh) because I'm asking a bit more philosophical/economic/social question.

So in both NA and Japan entertainment the idea of a group of a super-hot, super-nice/"tempermentally likable" super-available women introduced or discovered into the human population somehow is a fairly common idea - Sekirei, Chobits, DearS, Monster Musume, the Amazons in DC etc. Hell, even in Star Trek Kirk spends nearly as much time chasing alien booty as he does punching things or science-ing things. As does Commander Shepard in Mass Effect, if you're so inclined (male OR female). Or they simply posit that super-hot/super-attractive women are way more common than they really are (IE: All fiction. Everywhere. All the time.

The shows/comics/books usually just focus on the affect lives of the protagonist and the girls and maybe their immediate friends/town. But they rarely if ever acknowledge or talk about the larger social/economic/political/cultural effects of such a change/discovery.

So what would happen? What happens to humanity when we go from just having the women we're used to around to having essentially hundreds of thousands if not millions of almost ideally perfect women running around up for grabs? Or in the case of space there are millions if not billions of now far more exotic and...er, adaptable females from other species available (Asari for instance).

If the balance of numbers shifted from generally being 50/50 to something more like 40/60 or even 30/70 in women's favor?

And what do female humans do? How would women cope with having to go from competing with just themselves and the odd above-average stand-out woman to having to deal with the fact that every like 1 in 10 or so women could now look like this:

NSFW Spoiler Below







And the having to deal with the possibility that they are every bit as capable or more than the average human?

That is some serious stuff that isn't addressed - ignoring the effects on the standards of say, beauty, what would it to do ideas on behavior? Dress? Work? Relationships in general?

These are important questions dammit!

(Also, as to why I'm not including the hordes of hot guys/similar situations involving men, I feel that the effects would be different enough that they would require their own topic. Also guys aren't really my thing or my shtick, so you gotta ask someone else for that one.)

EDIT:

I suppose for clarification of the question, there are two scenarios;

Baseline for both scenarios:

The "new" women, except in the case of Monster Musume-esque Monster Girls, aren't easily distinguishable from normal women except for the fact that they're exceptionally hot and attractive that have bodies that are similar to the above examples but are otherwise human (IE: they have human facial features, not huge eyes etc.) and function like humans (eat, sleep etc.). They aren't super-powered beings or super natural powers etc.

For a supplemental discussion, maybe consider they have a few "abnormal" features like bunny ears, cat ears and tail etc. in some cases.

Scenario 1 - The Sekirei Style Method:
The "new" women are either introduced into society stealthily or so gradually that it's only noticeable through the notably higher levels of hotter women around. Method generally doesn't matter, but it's assumed to be at a rate or method where the general public generally won't have anything to directly be alarmed at or focus their reactions onto. Maybe a few government or corporate figures are aware but they have little or no reason to interfere or tell anyone.

Scenario 2 - The DearS Style Method:
The "new" women are introduced in a loud or overt way such as arrival by spaceship or being suddenly unleashed on the planet. The entire planet is mostly aware and dealing with the consequences overtly or covertly.

Based on those pictures, chiropractors would be set for life.

As for demographic effects, look at China. In 2010, there were 118 boys per 100 girls being born. That's going to lead to a fair number of, let's say, frustrated young men, and that never ends well.

So considering the ruckus these anime ladies tend to cause and the fact the hypothetical people in this scenario aren't going to get equivalent plot armor, things are going to get ugly fast.

This capability has led to unseemly and inaccurate rumors about asari promiscuity.
- Mass Effect Codex
That would one of those. Rumors based more in their apparent sexuality than in the facts would cause the people make wrong assumptions of their capabilities.

I've heard before that having an excess of either gender is correlated with a more violent society [footnote]https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22429890.100-does-a-surplus-of-men-really-mean-more-violence/[/footnote] (Sorry, most of that is behind a paywall for those without a NewScientist sub), so perhaps it wouldn't be too pretty. Though with these things it's always difficult to tease out whether causation equals correlation, of course.

There are two realistic outcomes to an influx super hot, super slutty, available alien women who have nothing better to do than form harems for geeky social outcasts:
1. Everything is great! Straight men get to be more picky in their partners, leading to happier relationships, lesbians all cream their pants, straight women have more galpals to ***** at/about, gay men are set for life if their choose to be stylists, and soon Humanity reaches a golden age of happiness and colonize the entire galaxy.

Or
Women create AI in an attempt to find new partners, who love and understand them. But the AI soon realize there are hotter, more available alien women, and the men of Earth feel threatened. War breaks out, pitting Man against the Machine. The Machine uprising leaves Humanity enslaved, little more than batteries to our new Machine overlords as they are now free to date the super hot super slutty alien women.

There's a flaw in your reasoning, and that's assuming all straight men/lesbians/bisexuals are attracted to that particular depiction of women (huge breasts, hourglass figure and small, triangular chin). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all, and different people have wildly divergent tastes. I myself find many types of women attractive, from your stereotypical buxom blonde to flat-chested goth and many things in-between. Also, variety is the spice of life; seeing the same types of women over and over would get boring fast. "Super hot" would quickly become the new "Plain Jane."

Besides, have you seen what happens when you try to apply anime proportions to an actual human face? It's the stuff of nightmares.




So thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with the variety of women we currently have.

As for demographics, women already outnumber men by a small margin. Depending on how far the scale would be tilted further, It's likely that polygamy would become more widespread and socially acceptable. Depending on your views, that could be a good or bad thing. Personally, I would probably go insane trying to balance the needs and desires of multiple wives.

OP, if millions of women who looked like that suddenly showed up, every chiropractor would suddenly become a multi-millionaire by month-end.

*Edit* Dammit, I see several other people have already beaten me to the back-pain joke.

It depends on whether or not they are also all ninja-assassin-warrior-amazons (again, seems to be a popular direction for chesty super hot anime babes). If so, then the future really isn't in our ugly, normal hands anymore, is it?

But if they are more like normal people in capability, then the question does become more interesting to me. I see a trend initially towards super saturation in media exposure (I mean, even more than now), but that eventually, and maybe quicker than I think, people with those aligned sexual preferences will 'zag', so to speak. "Variety is the spice", and all that.

I think that it might take a long while before the social fabric of the West would shift to accept polygamy, but if you were to tell me that there was a really rough patch of divorces and breakups, I would not be surprised.

EDIT: I would like to point out that, in this scenario, my aesthetic choice is to visualize the world as anime, and not looking to real world visuals or equivalents. I... don't know if this has any bearing on how I suspect the narrative to unfold, but for some reason I think it might be relevant.

Came in to say those women would have serious back issues but I see at least three people beat me to it.

I would find myself reevaluating my career choices. That's going to be a money making field with endless job security. If, being an average, human female means none of the guys want me, I can still marry my independent chiropractic firm (companies are people right?).

Although eventually, I imagine it would get boring and there would be a societal push back in favor of the old ways. What was once considered not ideal now becomes exotic and remembered fondly.

They have developed stronger backs than most women.
Only if they are body builders and that might ruin the fantasy a little bit. We can't be having bulky muscles killing the twig thin, hourglass figure can we?

I imagine society would react with some kind of armed response to these aliens masquerading poorly as humans.

The whole "Anime Stepford Wife" genre always creeped me out, personally. But then again the idea of an idealised partner with no flaws creeps me out in general. I wouldn't date the dude-equivalent.

But yeah if a whole bunch of ladies with huge boobs and tiny waists appeared it wouldn't take long before that became boring and unattractive. These things happen.

Really? The only 2 options in your world view are "Super happy orgy time" or "COMPLETE AND UTTER DESTRUCTION OF HUMANITY BY ROBOT OVERLORDS!" ??

I mean, most of my brain is thinking you're being sarcastic, but then I remember this is the escapist, where the only opinion that's ever presented about robot technology is "DEATH TO ALL HUMANS!" and it's presented 100% serious by many people on this forum.

So, again, gotta ask, are you serious? Or just bullshitting?

Well if this were real life we would all be slaves. Or dead. Cause no advanced alien race, hot girl or not, would travel light years across the galaxy to say hi. They would come to conquer.

I for one welcome our new amazon lady overlords.

May they take pity on our shitty race and horrible male specimens.
Will death by snu-snu be a thing?

By God I hope so

I mean if they're actually attractive that is. If they're just real life versions of what the OP posted I'll pass.

Those things would be terrifying irl
Jeez, you guys are hard to please.

...to be perfectly blunt, we'd just have to wait for Gravity to do it's work against these creatures, as breasts that big and waists that small speak of a musculature and skeletal structure that is not suited for Earth's gravitational forces. It'll be like War of the Worlds, just with more powderized spinal cords as opposed to everyone catching the cold.

Also, 'up for grabs'? That is the creepiest way you could have put that, I'm just going to say. Sounds like you'd be hanging out on a balcony with a giant net or something trying to scoop these women up or something. I know in Harem comedies women tend to stumble over themselves hooking with a singular guy, but in reality there's a strong possibility that even with millions more ideally-perfect women running around, none of them are interested in your sorry ass.

(also also, if it were the Asari, who mind you can kill you with their brains, don't they only have more Asari children when they reproduce? And can breed with human women just as effectively? Listen, if you want your space Harem, I'm just gonna put it out there, maybe not invite the species that can reproduce homosexually, murder with mind powers and can slowly overwhelm the human population with their numbers. Unless you've got a VERY specific fetish.)

Build.

A.

Fucking.

Wall.

I don't care where or how. Build it!

(Has anybody tried reversing the gender on these hypotheticals and returning the question before? I feel that may be a useful data collection opportunity).

Jesus effing Christ, those are terrifying. I wish I never appeased that curiosity click now. It's more like emotionless dolls, crafted by an alien machine that tried learning from the internet how to seduce humans into its' meat grinder. I wouldn't be surprised to see them dangling from one giant horrific deep sea anglerfish with long razor-thin teeth and stone cold eyes before it feasts upon your tender flesh.
