First of all, this is not a post slagging off good looking guys or guys with money, and i am by no means encouraging that you don't aspire to look the best you can or have as much money as you can eat, but this is for those that feel intimidated by the whole looks/money thing.

Over the past 4 years i've come to realise that looks and money really do not have as much of an effect in terms of women as you think it would.

From what i have seen, all they are is a metaphorical foot in the door. I am viewed most of the time as average looking, and get little to zero attention from women unless i'm the first to initiate. I have a ridiculously good looking friend, who merely has to walk into a room and turn heads, is approached by women constantly, and has a great vibe.

Why is this?

When someone who is deemed attractive at a young age is constantly receiving positive attention and motivation, giving them the self confidence and assurance that one would need to be successful.

on the other hand, someone less attractive is given little to no attention from their peers, culminating in a lack of self-esteem to which it is hard to break out of.

It was hard for me to break out of this self-esteem barrier, until i realised that the only reason for me being like this is the society that we're moulded by, so i stopped caring about my looks (in terms of how other people may or may not view them), and instead worked on the aspects of myself that could improve.

I've learned some key lessons from this:

  1. "Good looking" guys will always have the upper hand to begin with.

  2. many of them also get boring easily, half the time you just have to deal with jocks that have absolutely no depth to them. if you're intelligent then they're easy to deal with.

  3. if they're wised-up, the big drawback that they have is faggotry and hard placed oneitis, easy enough to deal with.

  4. all in all, girls couldn't care less about the whole looks/money thing, i've been in some tasty interactions having to deal with some guys that look like zeus and have still come up on top.

what can we take from this?

looks only matter if you let them. same with money. if you give a fuck about it, then it shows and makes you look like a faggot. i see too many people complaining about how they're not good looking enough, which is just an excuse so that they feel better about themselves not taking any action in their life.

So next time you're out and feel intimidated because someone might be better looking or have more money, just remember that if you're sure of yourself and have decent inner/outer-game, you have no worries.
