Fighting ability and SMV

Being able to fight is like being able to bench 400+ pounds. People don’t actually care if you actually can. They just care if you look like you can.

Its not necessary

Knowing how to defend yourself allows you to be more confident in more situations, and this feeling of confidence will manifest itself in more attractive mannerisms

It's not the actual ability to fight itself (otherwise the skinny club promotor or guitarist in a band wouldn't be getting laid), but the ability to handle confrontation and tension which manifests itself in certain qualities like being protective, dominant, assertive or loud. We know that the basketball player or bodybuilder probably doesn't know the techniques of fighting but because they have certain qualities of a protector such as the stereotypes of cocky bodybuilder or athlete, or aggression women feel safe and protected around them. Also in today's day and age its about social dominance rather than physical dominance of the past, which is why a CEO of a company has a higher SMV than the entry level worker who may or may not be strong physically.

I'm not a big guy, but I do lift. I have my concealed carry permit in several states and train regularly with my handguns. Was surprised at how positive the reactions were from LTR's/plates about this. Usually not at first but once I take them to the range and they see me shoot, you can see their attitude change.

Even a super liberal plate found it sexy. Said she feels protected and safe when out with me knowing how good I am with my gun.

Might also be demonstrating a skill, showing women that you're very good at something usually improves SMV or interest in general.

Knowing how to fight is great. Knowing what to say to tone a situation down so violence is not needed is even better.

the blackpill is girls wont give a shit if you tell her "hey baby, im a level 5 blackbelt", she might actually think thats cringy. what she will care about is how you look and appear. so if you look slightly big with muscles thats more than enough to let a girl know.

The problem is while you can put your strength and attractive physique on display on a daily basis, you can't really do that with your fighting ability.

Unless you're a professional or amateur fighter who participates in organized competitions, displaying your fighting ability on a consistent basis in street / bar fights is a one-way to ticket to jail and/or hospital and/or law suits. So just LOOK like you can fight and try to avoid it for your own sake.
