Being a good looking man who gets flirted with and doesn't have to learn game or do anything to improve his attractiveness is the peak male experience. The whole reason there's a debate about this is because there are men out there who really wish that women were sexually turned on by some magic set of actions or words they say. These men are depending on the fact that their game can overpower a 10/10 male in the casual sex arena. The truth is that women will stonewall you for a 10/10 if you're looking for hookups no matter how much game you have.

In short, men are validated by being capable of having casual sex with hot women, and if you're not hot yourself that's impossible. It's why a pickup company can be so successful, selling the idea that you can get with hot women even while not being hot.
