When a man simps, he simps really for himself, finding satisfaction in believing women to be pure and benevolent creatures worthy of devotion. This is because evolution has required of and instilled into man a particularly unnatural obsession with the woman, that, if not for women's reproductive benefits towards the male sex, would be harmful under the Darwinian model. In any case, if man exhibited no special predilection for the woman at all, to any degree, even the minimal degree of just wanting to keep them around enough to fuck, then the set of genes manifested in the form of that particular man would vanish out of the gene pool entirely and in short order, leaving only a spectrum of simps with the occasional genetic anomaly like asexual gynocentric serial killers such as Edmund Kemper. Make no mistake, even bad boys and abusechads fall somewhere along the simp spectrum insofar as they are interested in fucking women and keeping them around for that purpose.
Fortunately, man also has a counterbalance to simpery in the form of rationality (intelligence) that evolved from evolution's survival pressures as opposed to simpery which evolved from reproductive pressures. This counterbalance is why the same era of Western society that had chivalry also had men with a strong pimp hand. Men that are chivalrous without a strong pimp hand are merely simps.
