Big Arch Review and the Hypergamy Issue

I had the pleasure of trying the Big Arch burger from McDonalds. I saw the video of their strange CEO taking a tiny bite of the burger and immediately headed to my local McDonalds to figure out what the deal was. ReviewBrah noted that it was a genuinely good release from McDonalds, and I have to agree. The burger comes out with two quarter pounder patties, the Big Arch bun, two slices of cheddar cheese, Big Arch sauce, shredded lettuce, crispy onions, pickle slices, and onions. This was most definitely the best tasting burger I’ve ever had from McDonalds, and it better be for being upwards of eleven dollars. The combination of cheddar cheese, the Big Arch sauce (which just tasted like Mac sauce to me), crispy deep fried onions (these were fantastic) and regular raw onions made this a fantastic burger, and honestly, it elevated the whole experience way beyond your standard McDonald’s fare. The two quarter-pound patties were juicy and well-seasoned, not dry like some fast-food beef can get, and they paired perfectly with the three slices of melty white cheddar (yeah, the official specs say white cheddar, not just regular cheddar, gives it a sharper edge). That Big Arch sauce does lean heavily into Big Mac territory with its tangy, mustard vibe, but it has a bit more ketchup-forward sweetness that keeps it from feeling like a total copy paste. It was a huge burger, probably 50% bigger than the Big Mac. The bun was a nice touch too, it had sesame seeds and some other nodes on it that made it feel unique.

But you didn’t come here just for food reviews, so here are my black pill thoughts of the day —

How has hypergamy ruined modern relationships, and where does it end?

A quick rundown, “Hypergamy drives women to seek partners of higher status, often destabilizing relationships by prioritizing resources over compatibility.” Women date completely off this principle, some women may tell you online that this doesn’t apply to them, but instinctually, they do, and it has gotten out of control in the past decades. Combine this with “hoeflation,” the dating market is genuinely cooked, and actual love-driven relationships are basically over. Women naturally date up, this is nothing new, but with even hideous swamp hags deciding that they have the same weight (no pun intended) in the dating market that good-looking women do, it leads you to more self described incels in todays age. Women might deny it online (“I’m not like that!”), but data shows patterns. Studies from apps reveal women “like” far fewer profiles than men, focusing on high-value traits. It’s instinctual, sure, but amplified by endless scrolling and FOMO. Result? Relationships prioritize checklists over chemistry, leading to instability. Higher ghosting, breakups, and divorce rates (women initiate ~70% in many places). Yes, I said it, 70%. Big surprise right? Combine dating apps with other online echo chambers: Apps and TikTok inflate egos, women get constant attention, thinking they’re all queens deserving kings. Men? Left simping or opting out. Women chase unicorns, men burn out. It’s not just men hurting; women hit 30+ realizing options dry up, leading to regret or settling. But it’s hard to feel bad for them at this point, when they are most likely to be single with kids, and many bodies.

Where Does It End?

It doesn’t “end” fully, human nature persists. But unchecked, it leads to more isolation, lower births, and societal strain. Fixes? I don’t fucking know. I think it’s over for the dating market. Technology has led to most of this, and unless we somehow technologically devolve before the 2000s, I don’t think this is a fixable problem, especially in the West.
