For example, most people work a job, have some hobbies, hang out with friends, have a dream or two, travel a bit, etc. That's all boring, surface-level stuff that's not interesting. but I don't think saying you like to do any of that stuff is interesting to women, unless you are doing something very unique or notable. Even if I swap those hobbies out for other hobbies, like going to the gym or learning languages, its not interesting. If all you're doing is saying that you do those things, then y…

David Harbour who is the actor that plays Hopper the cop on Stranger Things has a total dad bod and half of America was thirsting after him at the height of Stranger Things. Just saying. Drawing conclusions about attractiveness from TV shows/movies is a terrible idea: All the actors are already pre-vetted for status/wealth and have a ton of social proof because you know others are watching The actors have dialogue written for them and can deliver 100% banger lines if the screenwriters so desire …

A quick peek through your comment history immediately reveals that you're in your 40s, broke, live with your parents, get zero matches on dating apps, and that women unfollow you on Insta pretty quickly after you get theirs. It sounds like you should be paying others just to be friends with you, tbh. Actually, it sounds like you should be finding a proper job.

This is pretty good, but the current model seems to always respond with a question. You can't tell it much without it asking "what about you?" back, which you won't always get or even WANT in real life. It'd be great if it left the conversation hanging a bit more, to simulate the need to carry it as a guy while building interest. It would also match better with your theme

That could be part of it, but I doubt it's the whole story. People aren't static entities with a clearly defined set of character traits. We have tendencies (some are kinder than others almost always), but we are also products of our current environment and those we relate to. If you are consistently engaged in awful relationships, there's clearly something you're doing to create that context and provoke certain responses. Early in my dating life, I had a 4 year relationship slowly morph into a …

Relax, I'm not insulting anyone I haven't read it, but the title is "shitty" ???? I haven't read it Of course I made an assumption that the post... Again, this is straight up childish. Adults don't refuse to read something then engage with it anyway based on wild assumptions about what it says.

"Fishing" or spam approaching girls is not "game", you learn "game" from experience or stealing someone's jokes/routines/scripts. That's literally not what the post is about... I'm sorry, do you have no literally self-awareness? You've complained about a five minute read, given up on even trying, and then started insulting someone based on an assumption you made about the post just from reading the title. This is incredibly childish, friend.

Are you dumb? It’s a worlds difference between 12% bodyfat and 9% bodyfst It's really not. 12% is abs visible for almost all men, and 9% is 'shredded' by the average person's standard. 6% is bodybuilding stage-ready. The difference between lean enough for visible and define abs, and 'shredded', is absolutely miniscule in most environments. You're kidding yourself otherwise.

Would like to see pics no homo. If I had to guess you are probably in the 5-6.5 range line most dudes in this sub No worries. I'll assume that your social skills are a 5/10, too, and that you're overestimating your seduction skills. Yeah obviously my game is not top tier but there’s a point of diminishing returns in game especially if you’re a naturally introverted/non NT dude.

Okay, so we have several splits in our experience/paradigm. I'm the opposite in terms of results — I am conventionally fairly attractive by most metrics (above average height, great physique, trendy enough haircut and good hairline, good facial symmetry, etc.) but do notice that I get far weaker results when my 'game' is off. You rebut this kind of experience by choosing to believe that these guys just aren't as handsome as they think... but this seems pretty handwavey and dismissive to me. By t…

It's certainly true that you can buy certain advantages (e.g. shoe lifts) for an almost negligible investment. And it's also true that this might get you further than certain comparisons you make to learning seduction — e.g. 30 minutes of paid work to afford some shoe lifts and a moisturiser might well get you further than 30 minutes of trying to learn how to flirt on Youtube, especially if you don't have a prior learning base. But there are also many reasons we shouldn't just extrapolate this i…

Gain LBM, lose BF %, Botox, microneedling, tret, fin+min, etc. There’s a reason all that shit is exploding in popularity with men - it’s the only way to stay competitive. Insecurity about your looks will kill your results with women 10x more than botox and a better beard will improve them. Being fit and healthy is important, sure, and you should put some effort into your appearance. But that level of obsession is entirely unnecessary unless you specifically want a relationship oriented around ap…

So by your logic Michael Berryman is good looking, because he found a wife? You see how your definition is functionally useless, right? There is basically no longer any such thing as a NOT good-looking person, because basically any level of looks is sufficient to attract a partner.

I mean if a guy is good looking enough to get women, I find it kind of hard to call him ugly no? Yeah, no, I'm not with you on this one. There are plenty of ugly people in relationships. Again, what a weird definition.

Difference is that for men if you're not good looking then you don't get to date. There are like a billion couples out there with a pretty woman with an ugly dude. It's literally a stereotype.

The amount of older, married guys on here desperately rationalising how furiously working their ass off just to keep their 40 year old wife is actually a red pill success story is truly incredible.

I think this is one of those areas of game where there's a kind of yin-yang approach needed; two approaches that contradict each other but need to exist in your head in harmony. One observation is that you still need to calibrate to your audience, and you can't really make a further generalisation about those situations. Sometimes people at a house party are going to be looking for a chill night and deep/artsy chats, and sometimes they're going to be looking to disconnect, turn their brain off, …

Hey man! Dating's definitely not over for you but yes, it's going to be tougher. I would try and find a girl who has a similarly tough time of life that you can bond with over. Doesn't need to be the same condition or even physical - but for instance dating a girl with lots of lived experience dealing with anxiety or a heart condition or something is probably going to (a) give her a lot better understanding of how a disability isn't all there is to a person, and (b) make the relationship feel mo…

Indian guys defs find it hard to date in Western nations, but you're above average height for an Indian male and there's nothing wrong with straight hair or dark eyes. IMO if you get your grooming and style right there should be nothing stopping you from killing it with South or South East Asian girls. You're definitely not deformed from that description

No matter how to decide to behave, you're going to pull it off badly because it's coming from a place of reactivity and neediness. There is a huge difference, for example, between a guy being aloof and distant because his mind is genuinely elsewhere, and a guy trying to use it as a pickup tactic. You will subcommunicate that difference in a million ways - and girls are very good at picking these signals up. The best thing you can do is decide you're not going to try to attract her again. You pro…

It's a balance. You can't treat her ridiculously well literally all the time or the romance gets tiresome and expected. You've gotta have some teasing, aloofness, and boundaries thrown in there (because your boundaries will be tested every now and then). But you can definitely treat a girl well, and a lot of the time it's even the best possible move. There's a reason that building comfort and rapport were essential components of even the most hardline PUA models back in the day (Mystery etc). I …

With all that said, what has been your experience? I feel like very few posts on this forum address how important and foundational being in shape is when attracting women. The fact that so many guys get excellent results with a very diverse set of traits is a dead giveaway that no one trait is 'foundational' or definitively most important. It's much more like an evenly distributed tier list — fitness, confidence, social status, adventurousness, and maybe a few other traits are all A-tier. Qualit…

In what countries do men apparently control the dating market? Women have relatively little control over who they date and how their relationships operate in the vast majority of the world; India, China, the Middle East, large swathes of SE Asia, etc. In many of these countries, women don't even have structural freedom; e.g. they can literally be forced by their families (under typically patriarchal leadership) to marry a certain partner without it being a crime.

OP, you're getting a lot of advice in this thread which is just going to make you look incredibly insecure and/or controlling. I don't think it is coming from guys who actually have a lot of experience with women. u/ancient875 has the right idea with moving on, if this really makes you uncomfortable and it's a firm boundary for you. Otherwise, the general idea to shut the conversation down is also fine, but a firm "I don't believe in discussing past hookups while I'm with someone" is MUCH better…

It's normal. Most people suppress it. Some genuinely lose it over time, typically because their life is full enough in other ways. I don't know of a reliable 'method' to ensure this. Some convince themselves they've lost it, but really just don't have options. Some people turn to non-monogamous relationship structures.

Answer the fucking point, dude. The logic you used was that power differentials are good because they let one party mold the relationship in a way that suits both parties. I'm pointing out that by your own logic, you should be equally comfortable being dominated by a much older and more powerful woman. The fact that you clearly DON'T think that is evidence you don't actually believe your own logic and are just backwards rationalising.

Oh, so your own logic doesn't extend the other way around? You're not willing to date a 60 year old woman? Why not? Her power over you will help her make you happy, right? She can shape things in a way best for both of you! Drake mfer

I completely agree with everything you wrote there. Obviously looks make a difference. I just disagree that a statement like "looksmaxxing > all" is reasonable. You can't distill it down that way, and certainly shouldn't be forming views based on extreme outlier cases.

Except that's an utterly ridiculous conclusion to draw from this, because (a) you can't necessarily reach the same outlier status, and (b) establishing attraction is only a small part of the entire process. Consider another hypothetical, for instance — if Keanu Reeves had walked into that bar instead, everybody would similarly be all over him, probably even more so than the attractive guy. Does that mean "famemaxxing" is actually the best strategy to pursue? No. Forming your strategy around a si…

Even if the mental maturity is greater, that doesn't automatically make the relationship more equal. A 17 year old girl who doesn't have her own car, apartment, ability to buy alcohol, etc. is going to be intrinsically more structurally dependent on an older partner. Also, there is no perfect substitute for life experience. A highly mature 17 year old who has still only been in a short relationship or two simply doesn't have strong reference experience to know when her partner's behaviour is bor…

In order to make your looks a positive factor from negative, you'll need 2 years minimum of dedicated gym and diet. Unless the person was severely obese, this is moving overly slow.
