It's such a depressing thing.

Women look for the following in men (no particular order)

Looks, Height, Penis Size, Social Skills (status), Ability to obtain resources (money), and then qualities such as emotional intelligence, kindness etc.

The thing is though, the majority of those things you are born with or determined by genetics. They aren't really things that you can get. Yes self improvement will work but only to an extent.

At the end of the day you either have enough traits that you make the threshold or not

For examle you can tall + good looking but lack other traits = good enough

Or Social skills + Height = good enough

BUT YOU NEED it's like a video game, you need those perks or you are screwed. 10 years out of high school, all the guys in high school are unmarried/ugly and most tall/social men are married.

life sucks
