LOOKS WEEKLY DISCUSSION THREAD

Dry-Ad3452 · 2025-08-09T18:56:37+00:00

If you do not pass the looks threshold at the onset of meeting someone, just about any other trait is irrelevant and might as well be useless. I’ve said this before and continue to stand on it.

If you can't find a woman who wants casual sex with you, then the women who want to date you don't find you attractive either.

Ok-Party8338 · 2025-08-11T11:03:39+00:00

It's funny how women will adamantly argue 80/20 doesn't exist but if you ask them what percentage of men they find attractive they'll say single digits. Or they say offhandedly they only see one attractive man every month.

It’s so unfair how much my looks affect my ability to make friends too which in turn affects my dating life. Unfortunately it’s an evolutionary issue and can’t do anything about it

IgorXY · 2025-08-09T16:32:09+00:00

Was thinking maybe I should try dating apps again. Realised in past year I barely made any photos of me that I like. How bad would hall mirror selfie be lol? On the bright side, I do have something to show my hobbies, though I doubt anyone cares beyond the first picture.

Men of PPD, do you take pictures regulary? What is the best approach?

Spread-Em-Plz · 2025-08-10T00:29:17+00:00

Going from cute but unassuming and non-threatening in the looks department, to being good looking but more masculine way overall is an interesting feeling (not a bad one though), hence my flair change yet again

Feels good though! But realize that I’m probably going to have to YET again change how I approach this game, who I pursue, how I do it, the whole nine yards.

Any of my other fellas here had a shift like this that sorta ambushed them?

On this note: I didn’t know your face could get wider after 20 but somehow mine has

Note: I know that the average man 18-25 doesn’t have a girlfriend or casual sex; I’m asking about the average of the young men who do.

The way people clown on limb lengthening surgery is insane. The difference in how you are treated as a man is night and day.

Tattoomaxxing as a man, yes or no? It seems like tattoos are extremely popular among (young) women and getting them as a man seems to improve your attractiveness. It also seems to be a sign of wealth, since they're expensive.

Reasonable_Mouse789 · 2025-08-10T09:44:02+00:00

If you’re into men: Do you think Chris Hemsworth is hot?

If you’re into women: Do you think Gal Gadot is hot?

Who do you think is the hottest celebrity, off the top of your head?

Alwaysnthered · 2025-08-14T14:06:04+00:00

Been thinking alot about how some non-masculine qualities can completely cancel out actual masculine qualities and indicators of strenght. Bear with me - it's a subtle thing but I think holds a lot of weight.

Example - having nice forearms but little or no forearm hair. I think this actually cancels out the affect of having nice forearms since it makes women think of younger boys.

Another example - being visibly very strong/ripped but having a babyface and inability to grow facial hair. I think the latter actually "cancels out" the affect of actually having a built strong body.

you could something similar about height and being short.

Reminder that the ability to get casual sex is the measure of whether women find you attractive, not ability to get a relationship.

Tramelo · 2025-08-15T17:25:48+00:00

Are there actual exercises you can do for your facial attractiveness? (Other than reducing bf)

J3ezyTheSnowman · 2025-08-16T00:24:47+00:00

Don't try dating if you are ugly, you will just get your heart broken!

Minute_Criticism_844 · 2025-08-09T22:10:25+00:00

If the most attractive qualities a woman can have are youth and beauty. How young do men actually find attractive? I experienced most creep catcalling younger than 14.

Lemon_gecko · 2025-08-10T10:42:24+00:00

Men who think that men choose women based on solely her looks are blind themselves. How she carries herself just as important. Just as what she could do for him, just as personality.

Q4A: How many of you are gold diggers? I’m one, but this seems uncommon for men to say for some reason.

Would you pick:

Person A: healthy but not perfect body type, not overweight, average face, but is a millionaire

Person B: perfect level of fitness you prefer, great face, works at some noble, stable, low paying profession, such as being a nurse, teacher, or electrician

SwaggyOnions · 2025-08-16T05:25:22+00:00

Attractiveness is definitely important but I think a lot of people on here from what I have read underestimate and refuse to believe that you can build attraction with someone the more you get to know them. You may not have found someone attractive at first sight, but once you get to know them, you notice things about them and they become more attractive as a result.

It happens.

Electronic-You-1717 · 2025-08-09T21:00:56+00:00

Ok I agree that looks or height for male might be important but if you are still high inhib/not talking to girls/being high social status then how are you gonna bag a gf even if you are decent looking and tall?

J3ezyTheSnowman · 2025-08-14T01:22:04+00:00

Having an attractive face is more important than anything! It far eclipses height and body!

Grow_peace_in_Bedlam · 2025-08-15T07:08:11+00:00

When you consider the mechanics of internal vs external genitals, it's kind of weird for women to be more selective about looks than men.

When I was single, I often reflected that I would have been willing to consider a much wider range of physical attractiveness for potential partners and to focus much more on pure personality and moral character if the ability to have sex wasn't dependent on me being aroused enough to get it up.

fiftypoundpuppy · 2025-08-11T18:33:28+00:00

The audacity of men who have posted their photos and still continue LARPing as Chads reminds me of the saying "grant me the confidence of a mediocre man" every time I read their comments

I've kind of found the more men brag about how hot and desired they are, the less likely it probably is true. Hot people have a quiet confidence that doesn't require excessive bragging and validation 🤷🏿

Stay skeptical my friends.

ThatBitchA · 2025-08-11T15:33:08+00:00

Looks weekly reminder.....

Women view attraction beyond someone's face. They are looking at their shirt, their pants, their cleanliness, what they are doing, the context of the location, etc.

Women gather all kinds of information to determine if someone is attractive to them. The face is one of many bits of information.

Women are screening for 1 guy. They aren't approaching all dudes in a vicinity trying to get a yes.

They are interested in a person, not just the way the person looks.

Until men understand this, they'll struggle to attract women because they focus on the wrong things and thus attract the wrong kind of woman.
