Oof - this sums it up -

It seems hard to avoid a basic conclusion: that the majority of women find the majority of men unattractive and not worth engaging with romantically, while the reverse is not true.

That male privilege strikes again.

​

what makes it funnier is that the reverse is almost certainly true with regard to true attractiveness. Assuming features comprising genetic attractiveness (symmetry, stature, mental illness, race, etc) are distributed on similar curves for both men and women, a much larger portion of men should be attractive based on everything else that goes into the equation. Men are less likely to be fat enough for it to be disqualifying and are more likely to be active at a gym. We overwhelmingly have more interesting hobbies, better jobs, or something else unique to define us. To the point that many of these things that go into separating men from 50th percentile to 90th dont even matter when we evaluate women.

If a girl is fit and well groomed, she is >95% percent of women with similar genetic attractiveness. A fit and groomed guy might scrape into the top quartile among his peers.

It's absurd, I agree - but perception is reality to someone who doesn't think about things in any abstract, objective way. It's fucked but yes, perception is reality in this case

[–]RightHandWolf 6 points7 points8 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Excellent article that not only confirms the Pareto Principle, but hands it down from the mountain.

As bleak as this picture appears, there is still hope. You do NOT have to be in the top 20% globally; you don't even have to be in the top 20% for your country, state or even your city. You DO have to be in the top percentage in terms of her options available at a given time.

We've all heard the saying about being the biggest fish in a little pond; even though it sounds like a rationalization for trying to coast, it isn't - not to someone who has taken the pill. Becoming the best version of yourself isn't a guarantee that you'll be able to pull every hottie you set your sights on, but you are stacking the deck in your favor. The sidebar mentions these things, but they bear repeating:

1) Lift, to improve your SMV and boost your self-confidence. You are the product, so do what you can to be the best product on the market.

2) Dress well. Clothes do indeed make the man. Your manner of dress is a static form of advertising for the product. A decent wardrobe makes the difference between a flyer taped to a telephone pole in BFE and a billboard in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

3) Be able to have a conversation. This is where game and frame make all the difference. Being able to verbally engage is the equivalent of having a really good ad campaign on the local TV and radio stations. This is the dynamic form of advertising, where you are actively making your sales pitch. Have a good message and stay focused on delivering the message.

4) Work on knowing how to be a good lover - the "Sex God Method" gets a lot of mentions because it works. You've spent the time developing the product and advertising the product; make sure the test drive exceeds expectations. Don't be an F-250 . . . be a Porsche.

Lol dude, all that shit is pure fucking nonsense as 99% of sexual attraction is based on MALE FACIAL STRUCTURE.

You red pillers sure as hell are fucking blue pilled like mad.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points13 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Fuck, this is genuis... applying the gini coefficient to the SMV. Can't believe no one thought of this before.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points14 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

This article essentially confirms everything TRP says, especially regarding hypergamy--women only want to sleep with the most attractive guys.

Quartz reported on this finding, and also cited another article about an experiment with Tinder that claimed that that “the bottom 80% of men (in terms of attractiveness) are competing for the bottom 22% of women and the top 78% of women are competing for the top 20% of men.”

Yep. This is why I advise guys to get off Tinder and SOD (swipe/online dating). Because let's be honest 78% of women aren't attractive, and yet if you're in the top 20% of dudes, those girls are all competing for you. What we want is women who are top 20%, and in that case you probably need to be in the top 2-5% of dudes--if you're in that echelon, congratulations Chad, go forth and slay.

If you're not, you're better off to learn cold approach.

an “age gap” in which younger adults are described as more attractive on average, with an especially large age disadvantage for older women.

As we all know, the wall is real, especially for ladies.

[–]wastedlifez 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Dude cold approach and game is fucking dead, women have 50000 of Chads ready in their phone at any time of the day for fuck sake.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Get off your phone and get out in the world bro. You’re 100% wrong.

[–]wastedlifez 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Lol IM 100% correct and Im probably out in the real world than most on here. u guys are so fucking blue pilled its true insanity.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This plus the dualistic mating strategy paper on the sidebar, and everything is clearer than the terrible Pepsi of the 90's.

[–]El_Serpiente_Roja 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Just what I needed before todays workout. Goodluck out there fellas...ignorance is bliss but its still ignorance.

[–]wastedlifez 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Its completely and utterly over for 95% of men, just as the Incels have been saying for 2 years now.

​

Its time for us to realise it, game is dead and Chad reigns supreme.
