In Korean, we have this term called 가성비 여친. Translated as Cost Performance Girlfriend. It means the guy barely invests anything in his girlfriend. She is low maintenance. But why? High chance that in terms of other things, he has more upper hand such as looks and career. I live in nyc, and if the guy is white and average and has good career,there so so many pickmes, especially poc younger girls trying to win over this guy. To be real, high chance that he won’t be dating these girls and going for someone in their social circle or in the same level in terms of career.

I had a Korean friend and she wasn’t relatively good looking to be honest. She gifted his bf lot of things while he didn’t do any. As soon as he cheated and left her, he met a girl of his dreams, pale and skinny, and started getting her gifts. So it it’s LIE that guys don’t know how to make efforts. Guys do know but they choose not to make effort on YOU. Why? Because on back of his mind, his waiting for his dream girl to come along and put in effort. Why put effort when you’re just random girl no.x to him? Same with females. It’s just how human mind works.

And let’s be real. Pickmes occur when a girl likes the guys looks subjectively. There’s so many pickmes in today’s world that cater to good looking guys needs. Just goto r/dating_advice and dating over thirty subs. Lot of pickmes there saying the guy was out of her league and he dumped her to date hot younger girlfriend. Why? Because she only went for his looks and superficial stuffs while ignoring every single red flags.

I changed my mindset and decided to date guys whom I’m less attracted to physically and treat me well. I feel stable since I don’t feel jealous and it feels good and these kind of relationships, it takes time to feel intimate rather than first sight crush kind of relationship.

To be real, not a lot of women, and majority of women won’t and can’t date hot rich guys. Since those guys would be going for someone in their league or higher. But at least, date someone who has respect for you.

You are responsible for your heartbreak and emotional trauma in some ways. And I made the same mistake in the past. I was so blown away by my ex’s looks and I ignored every single red flag and I innately knew that I was far from his dream girl.
