LOOKS WEEKLY DISCUSSION THREAD

It's interesting how men claim that height is most important thing. Then some tall men comes and says that no, he had to actually work on himself to get dates, that it's not like that. And instantly it's "well but it's easier if you tall". So not everything? So maybe suck it up and work on yourself?

A one SD improvement in physical attractiveness boosts one's selection success by around 20%, while the same increase in intelligence only improves one's chances by 2%.

For both men and women, physical attractiveness is the strongest predictor of romantic interest in experimental and online dating settings, far outweighing personality, education, or occupation.

Attractive individuals are automatically perceived as possessing better social skills and more positive personality traits ("what is beautiful is good"), which can make their actual social behaviors seem better than they are.

PPD doesn't want this to become a thread post. But it is studied and established reality. If you want to get past the first gate then be better looking more than better acting and DEFINITELY be better looking more than smarter. Without that it's "Let's just be friends" city.

Oh and this study was done in 2025 so the "but muh outdated study I can't refute with later studies" argument holds no water here lol

"Casual sex with hot women without paying for it" debunks 99% of what bluepillers say.

Past-Shoulder-631 · 2026-03-12T02:42:43+00:00

What’s insane is pretty much every woman says she cares about height and wants her partner to be a certain tallness. Some women here openly admit that they don’t respect short guys. And yet if a guy says that height is important suddenly he’s an incel or right wing or whatever

Just_Alternative3167 · 2026-03-12T01:12:32+00:00

It's kinda disappointing and lame that the old "Women rate 80% of men below average and men rate women in a perfect Gaussian distribution"-OKCupid study has apparently never been replicated or disproven. To this day people argue and debate using the same 10+ years old small sample size survey. We need new data!

I know there's data on e.g. Tinder swipe behaviour or whatever but it's just not the same as giving out rating scores.

Corbast7 · 2026-03-11T17:33:03+00:00

A man being close to your own height is hot because when he’s standing near you his mouth is already pretty close to yours. Or your neck. Or ears. 😛

The accuracy of the “just be attractive” mantra became a "third rail" because acknowledging the truth of that skit—that attraction dictates the label—breaks the modern moral framework of objective consent.

If we admit that "creepy" vs. "charming" is often just a reflection of how much the woman likes the guy, several social pillars start to crumble:

The "Safety" Narrative:

To maintain a serious stance on harassment, the rules have to appear universal. If we admit the rules are subjective based on "The Tom Brady Effect," it makes the "protection" arguments look like personal preference rather than a human right.

The Death of Plausible Deniability:

Talking about it openly forces women to admit to the "passive signaling" you mentioned. It exposes the fact that a public post is often a "net" designed to catch a specific type of man while shaming the "bycatch" (the average guys).

The "Empowerment" Brand:

In the 2010s, "Empowerment Feminism" became a massive commercial product. This brand relies on the idea that women are victims of a "male gaze" they didn't ask for. Acknowledging that they are often curating that gaze to attract high-value men ruins the marketing.

Essentially, the truth of the skit is socially inconvenient. It’s easier to treat "unwanted attention" as a moral failing of the man than as a natural byproduct of a woman’s selective marketplace.

GridReXX · 2026-03-11T02:09:41+00:00

The new “combover” is the TikTok llama haircut and men should just do it cuz it’s hotter than looking like a reject Game of Thrones extra.

Yes this guy already had incredible bone structure but still!

When the woman says she sees potential
THIS is what they mean…

But how hard it is to get them there, going through the: I am like this. You want to change me. The one who loves me, loves me as I am.

💀

InnocentInvasion · 2026-03-10T12:35:25+00:00

Being a guy and complaining about Women having physical preferences is always such a hilarious thing. Women spend so much time getting ready and money and entire industries are built by Men's preferences

Make-up and dresses wouldn't exist if Men didn't prefer them

Siukslinis_acc · 2026-03-10T12:22:33+00:00

Looking at characters that got a custom model in kingdom come deliverance 2. Based solely on looks and not their expresions and voices, there might be only Žižka that looks good. The rest has either a face or a haircut that is not "well, hello there..." to the eye.

Lemon_gecko · 2026-03-10T10:50:51+00:00

Why does it matter so much that you was rejected because of your looks and not something else if rejection was pretty fast? Like when i try to point out that looks are not the only thing that matters even in the initial stages, and there is always some man who will go "but if there isn't looks then nothing matters".

Muscletov · 2026-03-10T09:22:33+00:00

Physique inflation has become insane and the wide usage of steroids, especially by false "natty" influencers, doesn't help. And the result is that many people are completely clueless about the gym and how much effort it actually takes to look remotely muscular, despite being so popular nowadays. Not only in the gym, but the kitchen as well.

And I think it's really noticable in women, e.g. when they call a built guy's body "dad bod", when they acccuse any man who takes weight lifting somewhat seriously of "obsessing" over it, when they're deathly afraid of lifting weights themselves because they don't want to get "bulky" or when they say they "don't like muscular men" and then show you a picture of a competitive pro bodybuilder.

OffTheRedSand · 2026-03-10T06:11:02+00:00

Everytime there’s a story about a man saying or doing something bad the response from males is “of course that happened because he’s chad and hot, otherwise it wouldn’t have happened”

Do males realize ugly and mid guys can also be socially retarded? It’s not restricted to chad.

Some hot people are nice and down to earth, some mid or ugly people are so undersocialized they suck ass and say the wrong thing.

Why is it so unbelievable that a dude who’s never been on a date before or has little experience would say the wrong thing or speak out of pocket?

Past-Shoulder-631 · 2026-03-10T04:26:32+00:00

I’m convinced that small boobs are more aesthetic than big boobs

Ideal height gap 😌

BrainMarshal · 2026-03-09T21:51:25+00:00

Anyone ever notice how there are services that focus on talking to plus sized women but none for women talking to short men?

Proof that women hate body positivity for men.

mangotheosis · 2026-03-09T20:50:50+00:00

can you start banning people who flood the page with obvious AI slop? it’s mounds of text with zero substance and totally unnecessary

InnocentInvasion · 2026-03-09T19:50:39+00:00

It's kind of wild how normalised a woman rimming a guy is becoming. It's absolutely one of my deal breakers. That and if she's ever pegged a guy. She's a ruined Woman

Copiumfuel · 2026-03-09T16:34:18+00:00

People always say “look at all the average and ugly guys in relationships” like that proves that looks don’t matter or something. But how many of those guys are with women that feel raw attraction towards them? How many get enthusiastic sex on a regular basis? A lot of guys can’t even get a woman to initiate sex with them. That’s the true measure of attraction.

He is just 5'4. And the girl is from a billionaire family while they guy is just a cricketer and both are young.

Muscletov · 2026-03-09T08:55:14+00:00

Imagine the anger

if men rejected women who wear make up for being "insecure"
if being average height or above was considered a deep flaw in women
if men had strict, measurable size requirements for women's breasts
if the tightness of a woman's vagina influenced her attractiveness significantly, became gossip topic among men and "loose vagina" became a widely used slur, including mainstream media and movies.
if the only body type considered widely attractive on women required a meticulous gym and dieting plan

etc.

Excellent_Badger123 · 2026-03-09T08:48:29+00:00

Q4All: Do you think there are negative aspects of being physically attractive? Is it different for men vs women?

InnocentInvasion · 2026-03-09T08:00:04+00:00

I'm quicker to anger if the guy who did something is shorter than me, most guys have this complex though. I think it's extra offensive or just that they are seemingly less of a threat because of their inferior frame. That's probably the root cause of the Napoleon complex. Their mouth/personality has to compensate for what they're incapable of projecting physically. Like how smaller dogs tend to bark more

Mid at best chubby woman complains about men who look like shit approaching her and being delusional for thinking they had a chance:

https://www.tiktok.com/@gigithesiren/video/7612285770602155294

Got about 150k likes with many women agreeing and defending her in the comments.

Dunno why blue pillers pretend the dating environment isn't toxic as fuck at this point.

InnocentInvasion · 2026-03-09T00:02:04+00:00

Anal is such a degenerate act. The woman is increasing the likelihood of less control of her bowels and the guy has human faeces all over her dick

There's a hole made for fucking and people choose the garbage shoot a couple inches away

Online looksmaxxing culture feeds into male autism.

Online beauty culture feeds into female neuroticism.

Looks fade, height is forever.

The_WankingBuddha · 2026-03-08T10:54:59+00:00

Knowing that only a select few people are actually hot at any given time, and yet almost all of the people have managed to marry and breed (except for monks, nuns, infant mortality and soldiers sent off to wars - which takes out a huge chunk of total human population), it is sort of understandable that most partnered people were not, are not, and will not be actually physically attracted to their partners... and yet a lot (if not all) of them have led, are leading, will lead happy/content married lives.

That raises a question - is being attracted to ones partner necessary to be in a happy marriage?

two mid people could in no way be attracted to each other the way they would be attracted to a model tier man/woman. But mid couples still manage to be happy.

Q4All: Describe the most surprising/extreme IRL reaction to the way you look you’ve ever experienced

Can anyone recommend French drugstore skincare/beauty products? I know they have some good stuff here and I want it 🇫🇷

This is college football from the 80s.

Look at their necks!

Was it the food they ate?

Was it steroids?

Was it less microplastics and soy in the tap water?

The QB looks like an OL.

fiftypoundpuppy · 2026-03-08T01:38:50+00:00

Which doctor can write me a prescription for this dick pill? It's an emergency 😩

InnocentInvasion · 2026-03-08T01:11:09+00:00

A good piss feels better than an orgasm

Lonely-Fren · 2026-03-08T00:52:47+00:00

Sources from within the Dickpill Community tell me that the real reason why America and Israel attacked Iran was because they were planning on revealing one of the ancient Dickpill Trvke Tablets left over from the ancient Ayran Hyperborean Empire. A weapon of immense power..

The_WankingBuddha · 2026-03-07T22:50:45+00:00

Unbanned just in time for the Looks megathread 😇

zgtlunatic · 2026-03-07T22:09:51+00:00

Which is worse in your opinion: A large forehead or a short forehead?

Figures for reference: David Gandy (his harmonizes with the face though) and Zayn Malik

bondepart · 2026-03-07T21:15:16+00:00

Genuinely baffled at the assertion that women don’t like short, soft, “feminine”, or sensitive men, when I see men like this who are poly with multiple girlfriends.

Lemon_gecko · 2026-03-07T21:08:35+00:00

Just a quick reminder that looks might let you put your foot in the door, it's still one foot and you actually do need more to enter.

Siukslinis_acc · 2026-03-07T19:01:38+00:00

Sheesh. the programmers/designers didn't think about this character without a hat.

ThatBitchA · 2026-03-07T17:53:59+00:00

I've never seen my husband without his beard.

I've seen photos but he was also 15+ years younger. 🤣🤣🤣

Well kept Beards are so sexy. I love watching him trim and style up his beard.

Rule_Number_7 · 2026-03-07T17:36:19+00:00

That’s an underwhelming reaction. I can understand initial surprise, but afterwards… By her reaction, you’d think the guy had simply just changed from a crew neck to collared shirt or something.
