The "Post Malone Effect" is a particularly enigmatic psychosocial theory based on the phenomena of sexy women apparently attracted to the objectively unattractive and tubby-ass Post Malone. The theory states that it is not in fact how
handsome Post Malone is, but how BUTT ASS UGLY Post Malone is that makes him attractive to women. The Post Malone Effect can often be seen in Southern
California where
crusty tools with
poor hygiene and fat business-type middle-aged men with male pattern baldness appear to be partnered with beautiful women. Some less extreme examples are Jay-Z and
Beyonce, or Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. In the case of an Beautiful-Male / Ugly-Female (BMUF), such as Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, The Post Malone Effect is interchangeable with it's analogue coined for that exact scenario: The Hugh Jackman Effect.
(The Post Malone Effect is often believed to correlate with social status and
money, but growing evidence appearing in the early 21st century seems to counter this common belief providing a path for further study and academic analysis)
