LOOKS WEEKLY DISCUSSION THREAD

UpstairsAd1235 · 2026-01-27T18:25:27+00:00

It's funny and sad how women are so contradictory when it comes to looks. On one hand, they preach and say that looks aren't everything and that men should stop calling them superficial. But on the other, they say shit like "how could a man do that to/cheat on someone so beautiful as her!?" or "I would never date someone so ugly and awkward as him!" LOL.

I just saw a short of this one couple that was so famous for both being very attractive and the woman and her shenanigans that caused the man to laugh in a very exaggerated and interesting laugh. They got a divorce (because he wanted to separate from her for a while, but instead decided to work on the relationship. He ended up cheating at the end, unfortunately) and all the women are saying the first thing I said ("how could a man do that to/cheat on someone so beautiful as her!?"). So, as it stands, looks are no.1 still.

The stuff I bought today to look good. The Korean skincare products are really nice and effective. Q4All: what kinds of things do you use to keep your skin looking good?

If you took four men, each of which are 90th percentile in a different class of traits (looks, personality, status, money) but average in all others, the one who is 90th percentile in looks would induce the most lust in women.

Anyone who claims otherwise is living in delusion or has never observed the world they live in.

PrinceDuneReloaded · 2026-01-24T21:40:32+00:00

looks are like 90% of dating

Lemon_gecko · 2026-01-25T11:44:38+00:00

OMG. it's pinned where it should be and does that mean we now truly have looks weekly thread? Or it means that we will now have looks forever, as we had n count thread?

Reasonable_Mouse789 · 2026-01-25T04:05:36+00:00

Status is useful to get women, but the vast majority of people just don’t have any real consistent version of it

At a college, an athlete has ridiculous levels of access to women literally stalking him for sex, but “Chad” mostly just receives IOI or “that look”, I think, where that IOI (from my experience) essentially just translates to “We could vaguely have sex some time in the next few hours if we hang out alone, you tell me I look great or look beautiful, and eventually tell me you want to kiss me, but I would definitely reject it if you offered immediately”. Almost all dating advice in existence for guys usually tries to get more IOI initially from more attractive women, e.g. more matches on Tinder that would sleep with you on the first date.

After that point things are mostly easy mode for guys, once they get someone they actually want

Quick, before this place is astroturfed with answers they want to be sorted as “best”:

Looks matter and that has been downplayed for decades to keep ordinary men motivated to work and provide for a family while paying taxes.

OffTheRedSand · 2026-01-24T20:41:57+00:00

LOOKS ARE EVERYTHING IF YOU LOOK CUTE PEOPLE WILL GTAVEL AT YOUR FEET AND YOU WON'T GET TREATED LIKE DIRT

it will also give you the confidence to not even have to settle or hate yourself, IT'S BRUTAL AND OVER.

Lemon_gecko · 2026-01-25T15:48:31+00:00

It's funny how men pressure women to admit that looks matter (like it's a secret), claim it's natural, that men are also care about looks etc, only to do 180 and blame women for being shallow and caring about looks.

The_WankingBuddha · 2026-01-24T18:56:20+00:00

Used my pic to prompt AI and generate a woman that would be an appropriate match for me based on statistics and dating patterns.

Then removed myself from the pic and prompted it again to generate an appropriate guy for her and the guy came out to be a legit chad 😭

Grow_peace_in_Bedlam · 2026-01-24T18:53:46+00:00

I am once again asking the mods to understand that, if a physical attribute is not perceived by the eye, it doesn't count as looks. E.g.:

- How a given dick size looks aesthetically = Looks

- How a given dick size feels during sex ≠ Looks

- How a given boob size looks aesthetically = Looks

- How a given boob size feels in your hands ≠ Looks

Basically, if a blind person can experience the aspects of a physical characteristic being discussed, those aspects should not count as looks and should not be relegated topics. Agree or disagree?

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk!

Played "Yakuza kiwami 3" demo. Dressed up Kiryu with the clothes available in the demo. Feels like I made him look older with style alone...

ThatBitchA · 2026-01-30T20:13:45+00:00

It's Friday night. What's your go to outfit for looking hot and confident?

The_WankingBuddha · 2026-01-24T19:04:02+00:00

Q4mid guys: how do you live with the fact that your partners probably don't feel the level of attraction/lust towards you that an absolutely good looking chad level guy recieves in general?

Do you feel like missing out on an experience that all women and a few men get to have?

Popeoath · 2026-01-28T15:32:24+00:00

In the recent photo of Nick Fuentes and all the other manosphere assholes (Tate, Myron, Clavicular, Sneako, etc.) only Fuentes got mocked for his height.

Most of the vile pieces of shit in the picture are tall. If you wanted to make an observation about looks but were unbiased about it, you'd conclude that tall guys were more likely to be scum.

But instead, the "tolerant" liberals only said things like, "not surprised Nick's short", "I hate overcompensating short men", etc.

Again, picture full of human garbage, most of them tall, but only the short one gets mocked for his height.

Doesn't this plain as day prove that there's a massive bias against short dudes?

Logos1789 · 2026-01-28T10:20:46+00:00

The charge of being a “performative man” is just women’s excuse for not being attracted to the men they claimed to be attracted to.

It’s the same thing as demonizing men who are sincerely nice.

Just admit it: you believe in a natural hierarchy and you don’t like it when men try to become attractive to women

Spread-Em-Plz · 2026-01-27T01:23:35+00:00

Reaching that point where I’m actually pretty damn happy with my looks and appearance overall

I mean don’t get me wrong I’ve still more plans to improve (but that’s just from being the type of person I am; not because “gotta looksmaxx”) but if you told me I’d reached my final ceiling, I wouldn’t be mad about it

Idk, maybe I’m just a cocky bastard

renfsu · 2026-01-25T10:52:53+00:00

Looks matter in everything. Anyone with a rags to riches story when it comes to looks will tell you.

People want to be your friend, they're intimidated by you, everyone is insanely nice. Even if those same people didn't act that way before.

fiftypoundpuppy · 2026-01-24T19:51:51+00:00

Astroturfer checking in with the full study that is used to claim "women have orgasms with hot men and not with regular men 😡😠😡"

<image>

So on a scale from 1-9, the looks rating difference between having an orgasm during the most recent coitus and not was .6, and thus a 7 is a regular unattractive jestering beta and a 7.6 is a super hot model tier Chad

N_Count_Council · 2026-01-24T21:35:20+00:00

As I've gotten older I believe I went from a tit man to an ass man. What is this phenomena?

Popeoath · 2026-01-30T04:04:11+00:00

If looks are subjective why did everyone in another thread recently laugh at the notion of India having the hottest men?

Surely it's as valid an opinion to have as thinking Scandinavia has the hottest men. If looks are subjective.

Lift_and_Lurk · 2026-01-26T14:39:16+00:00

Does this mean they fixed it and looks is pinned for the week?

Grow_peace_in_Bedlam · 2026-01-24T20:10:38+00:00

I've always felt straight women comparing being catcalled by the sex they're attracted to, to straight men being catcalled by gay men was disingenuous. For a straight man, there is zero chance he will like a gay man catcalling him, but there is a chance, however low, that a straight woman will like a straight man catcalling her.

Or do most women really find average men as sexually unappealing as straight men find gay men? This last part is why I felt this discussion belongs in this thread.

zgtlunatic · 2026-01-24T22:43:39+00:00

Where can I find the described chads and stacys IRL? - People that would consistently get rated as 7.5-8 or higher on the truerateme sub without any strikes I suppose

fiftypoundpuppy · 2026-01-31T02:11:30+00:00

I've seen the photos of a few guys who post here, including ones who cosplay as Chads and legitimately the only one I've ever seen within the realm of Chad hot was gay ☠️ I don't think he ever even referred to himself as a Chad. Pretty sure he's deleted his account now anyway

Every time I see them brag about their conquests I wanna post their photos so fucking badly lmao cause be so fr

Oh maybe wly/wle might have been, I'm fuzzy on what he looked like specifically though. I can't remember his face and keep replacing him with a hot classmate I hooked up with in high school 🥴

ThatBitchA · 2026-01-25T21:35:07+00:00

Looks matter, no shit. People want to date and fuck people they are attracted to.

Looks aren't the only metric. And that's where men in this sub get confused. They assume that looks are the only metric.

For men who are sex obsessed and only focused on looks assume that everyone else operates the same way.

The whole 80/20 irks men because they find 80% of women they see attractive. And assume that women do the same.

Casual sex irks men because they assume that women are fucking the hottest men possible. Because men are trying to fuck the hottest woman possible to brag to their boyz. So once again, men assume that women do the same.

99% of men's looks based ire would be solved if they stopped assuming that women acted the same as them. And stopped holding women to the sex standards they hold themselves.

It's once again, a self inflicted wound that they keep picking at.

ThatBitchA · 2026-01-26T22:53:57+00:00

To the men who struggle to find romantic opportunities...

Do you act in person the same way y'all act here? For example, assume you're right about everything; insult someone because they don't agree with you; low self esteem, etc?

Do you ever consider that y'alls attitude or demeanor is turning off women who might find you attractive?

Would you rather be sexy af and have an ugly partner or he ugly and have a sexy partner?

In this scenario cheating is not allowed by either partner

If the obesity epidemic disappeared tomorrow how would that affect the dating market?

More than 40% of American adults are considered obese. Men often say that obesity is the main, if not the only, dealbreaker for attractiveness in women. In OD terms, people usually swipe left on fat girls and girls usually try to conceal this negative quality by posting group photos and selfies with really high camera angles.

So if tomorrow obesity as a condition was all but eliminated from the globe which of the following would happen?

A. The threshold for minimum attractiveness of women to men would be raised now that fat girls are no longer on the market.

B. The threshold for minimum attractiveness of women to men would remain unchanged.

C. The threshold for minimum attractiveness of men to women would be raised now that fat guys are no longer on the market.

D. The threshold for minimum attractiveness of men to women would remain unchanged.

E. Some combination of the above

OffTheRedSand · 2026-01-25T04:35:57+00:00

hear me out, are fat women the looksmatch to short guys? if not who is? and no you can't say short women.

i say fat women because even tho yes, fat women can lose weight but short guys can't get taller, but there is a reason why fat women still exist to this day, not everyone can/will lose it.

both parties struggle in dating, are undesireable, and in short demand.

they're the looksmatch to each other.

either that or older women. who probably come with baggage so fat women are more realistic.

agree or disagree?

Grow_peace_in_Bedlam · 2026-01-27T18:18:59+00:00

Do women only feel jealousy over partners they're actually sexually attracted to?

ThatBitchA · 2026-01-28T18:49:43+00:00

Attraction is subjective.

Trying to appeal to all women is a waste of time.

Working out to impress others is a waste of energy.

Grow_peace_in_Bedlam · 2026-01-30T14:15:31+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have the impression that bi women have the same standards for men as their straight counterparts, and that really doesn't make sense to me.

Why should they struggle to be attracted to a short man with a small penis when they can be attracted to an even shorter woman with no penis?

N_Count_Council · 2026-01-28T20:11:40+00:00

My rule of thumb on how to tell if a girl is AI on social media: does she have Sydney Sweeney tier tits? Then she's probably AI. All of these women can't just pop up out of nowhere with Sydney Sweeney tier tits

Bitch_King-of_Angmar · 2026-01-24T18:31:18+00:00

what does ranch dressing have to say about looks?

DrunkOnRamen · 2026-01-28T19:23:05+00:00

i got doxxed a while back and a lot of people saw my photos. i have been told a few times that I am above average. So those who saw me, would you say i am below average, average, above average?

Rule_Number_7 · 2026-01-29T18:37:46+00:00

Uncircumcised or circumcised?

Edit: Clearly I’ve offended some people. To be clear, I’m not asking about people’s actual situation. I mean in terms of preference, because there are people who do indeed have a preference just like with other physical attributes discussed in this thread.
