This has to do with the pinned thread on this sub by /u/redpillschool because I have often heard a lot of guys talk about how their height or race is holding them back. Among a lot of people there is this belief that guys with certain setbacks concerning their height, ethnic appearance, and overall looks will struggle to get hot girls. I have had short guys and guys of certain minority groups express to me how life and the game is unfair because women are rejecting them for things about themselves they cannot change, except for maybe looks in this regard.

I will discuss how women perceive various things when judging men and why they may be evaluating it that way. This thread won't talk about how to better your chances, that would make it too long so I am dedicating another thread for that.

It all boils down to one thing: safety.

Society is nasty and full of truly wicked people that hot girls feel like they need protection from.

This is why girls choose the bad boy over the nice guy.

Hot girls want protection because hot girls are prey. Before you guys call me a feminist, hear me out, because this stuff goes back to the days of the cavemen when women would mate with the most "fit" man. Even to this day, women are the same way when they evaluate men, they want a protector. We might talk about how society is so kind to women but the reality is, women, especially if they are good looking, have to worry for their safety. A lot of this isn't even exclusive to humans, it is the same for other species.

A lot of hot girls have to worry about a crazy ex that can't let go, an aggressive guy that just won't take the hint and back off, and people trying to use them or force themselves on to them. When hot girls are picking a guy, they are picking a guy for safety whether that is alpha fucks or beta bucks. It all comes down to safety, especially here in the US where crime rates are high compared to most developed countries and a good number of men are aggressive. Coincidentally, I often hear the complaints about this sort of stuff the most from American guys.

Now lets talk about how guys who aren't Chad are evaluated by women and why certain features of their appearance might work against them.

Height

This is straight forward.

Short guys have a tough time because a lot of people assume, perhaps falsely, that short men cannot hold their own in a fight (this is far from true in my experience). When hot girls see a short guy and think about getting with him, they anticipate that other aggressive guys might harass the couple or give them a tough time. If a hot girl is with a 6'7 Rob Gronkowski type of guy, majority of guys in the room will leave her alone and know not to get on her bad side. For height, this is the simple part about it, this one of the major reasons women prefer taller men over shorter men.

All else, would a predatory guy looking to snatch a hot girl from another guy's arm prefer to try his luck against a short guy or some tall guy?

Looks

Also quite straightforward and you have a lot of control on this outside of obvious exceptions. Putting on muscle helps and if you have been keeping up with the theme of this thread, you know why. Muscles, six pack abs, athletic body, and all of this signals to a woman that she has protection by her side. It's not just that, good looking people get treated better and when two hot people get together, it makes sense to society.

Facial symmetry aside for men, other things like being tall and fit signal to women that you can hold your own in a fight, whether or not you can is a different story.

Attractive people also have society by their side in most cases but lets imagine scenario here. A hot girl walks hand in hand with a handsome guy, some ugly tries to pick her up, it's not a threat, it's comedy! Hot girls know that when they walk side by side with men that fit society's ideal of handsome, others will know to keep their distance if a guy is too aggressive, other people in the area will get involved. Now imagine a truly ugly guy with a hot girl, the amount of confrontations that couple will face including aggressive advances from other men...

It's not just that, when a lesser good looking guy tries to aggressively take a hot girl from a handsome guy, society hates that! Other women will get involved and even the system will come down on that lesser good looking guy hard! Even he knows not to mess with such a beautiful couple.

Race

This is the one I hear the most common complaints about so I will dive into it a bit more, before I do that, I want to say I hold no ill will towards any race and if people get offended I might have to delete this part of it...

Here in USA it is still taboo for hot white girls to date minorities, especially if she happens to be a blonde that so guys I know want. People will try to shame them for it and it's just one of those hot button issues that involves a lot of controversy. So when a hot white girl goes for a guy of a minority group, she needs to know that he will be able to protect her because at that point American society does not have her back, the couple are on their own.

In American society, it seems (though I can't be sure of it) that Asian and Indian men have it rough with women. Is it media? Is it racism? What is it?

The reason is simple, Asian and Indian men are generally seen as the least threatening of the races in American society which might be working against them in attracting the kinds of women some of them desire. While the "model minority" might put them in good light in some cases, it also makes Asian and Indian guys into easy targets. Some person looking for trouble might find it convenient to attack an Asian or Indian guy and try to pick a fight with one as opposed to picking a fight with a Chad or some hood black guy.

A decent chunk of Asian guys (although many exceptions exist here) and a vast majority of Indian guys I have known don't strike American society as being threatening or the type to hold their own in a fight, this makes them easy prey to some bullies and predatory men looking for a fight.

Now see it from the eyes of a hot girl, what if she is out with the stereotypical Asian or Indian guy and a couple of predatory men the couple run into are looking for a fight? What if they decide to grope her and try to force themselves on to her? Could her boyfriend by her side protect her? If she had a Chad or a hood black guy by her side, the predatory men that would normally harass her would think twice or else they would be facing a tough fight.

If the setting is an ass backwards town, you know for a fact that the confrontations are coming! Those good ol boys are going to want to have a word with any guy of color that is with a hot blonde (women they see as their own), whether they personally know the woman or not.

So when hot girls are holding race against a guy, that is one of the reasons why they are doing it, for their own protection. Now obviously this changes if the Asian guy knows how to kick some ass, I have had Asian friends that do MMA and they do just fine with hot white girls and that includes hot blondes, hot girls pick them because they know that the guys will kick someone's face in for harassing her.

It may seem prejudice to you that hot blondes are picking some blue collar white guy or hood black guy over some college educated Indian guy making six figures working a white collar job but what if tomorrow society collapsed and hell broke loose, who would that hot blonde feel safer around? Who would she see as being better able to protect her? If it involved fighting, I would not put my money on the Indian guy working a white collar job.

Even white guys that do well with women are usually Chads, dorky white guys aren't getting hot blondes.

That is all it does boil down to.

Women, especially here in American society, want protection, they want a guard dog. Now I have had friends of minority groups, short friends, and not so good looking friends do well with women in foreign countries that were safer than the US. Once again, in those countries women did not feel the need to find a guard dog, they could be more laid back with their choices. Here in American society you are dealing with some aggressive cut throat people who won't hesitate for one second to take your girl from you if they can, especially if they feel that they can get away with it.

Now women know this, that is why they seek out the men they see as most fit of protecting their safety and giving them a good life. Men that they perceive as weak will not be able to protect them for a horde of aggressive guys or that one creep in their life that won't back off, that is why they end up getting rejected.

So your job, if you aren't Chad, becomes to prove to hot girls that you are not to be fucked with, for that I will post a separate thread.
