Intro:
Welp, it's official. Black Pill seems to have taken over this subreddit.
And that's okay.
Times change. Trends change. Culture changes.
GayLubeOil posts = instant downvote brigade
Prostitution posts = instant upvotes
To stay current with the times, it's important that we don't simply dismiss BlackPill as being for incels and losers, but that there are many valid points that are worth considering.
Ideas don't simply take hold of a generation of young minds without some sort of merit.
Is it Over?
Oftentimes, I see perfectly normal looking guys posting on here complaining about how they can never get laid because they're not facially attractive enough, or that they're too short.
A lot of the times, I even see weird obscure concerns like "my eyes aren't deepset hunter eyes enough" that just make you go WTF, where do you even find this kind of stuff?
That being said, there are indeed certain qualities and characteristics that will severely hamper your success with women, and it's important to be aware of these as well, so you know that you have a difficult journey ahead and don't expect instant or even normal results for your efforts.
With that being said, here are some common insecurities that are brought up over and over again.
Valid Concerns: When it’s Over Before It Began…
Short:
By short we mean 5’7” and below in the USA.
Based on everything I’ve seen, being short does seem to automatically disqualify you in the eyes of the vast majority of women.
In other words, you can approach them all you want, but if you don’t meet the initial height requirements, which is at least 5’9”, it was over before it began.
Sorry bro.
I know it’s important to be positive, but part of RedPill is embracing cold harsh truths over easy to digest lies.
And I know everyone has a friend that gets laid despite being short but you’ll often find great social skills, money, muscles, or a combination of other compensating factors to make up for the height.
When I say it’s OVER, I don’t really mean it’s over no matter what you do.
Everyone can make it if they put enough effort into compensating in every other category. But let’s be honest, statistically most people who have a harder road than normal quit before getting good.
Few are actually willing to grind it out at something they’re naturally at a disadvantage in.
If you’re short and you’re reading this feel free to prove me wrong.
Just be aware that if you’re seemingly doing all the right things, like approaching girls, lifting, advancing your career but still struggling with women, it’s because dating life is on hard mode for you.
Final Verdict: Is it Over? Yes. Always Has Been.
Lack of V Taper:
Do you naturally have narrow shoulders and a big waist?
If so, it may just be over for you before it ever began…
I’ve seen this over and over again. Tall 6’4” guy complains that he can’t get girls at all.
They all sound the same. “I’m tall! Why don’t girls want me?”
And the answer is that being tall while having a skinny lanky frame with narrow shoulders is simply not attractive to women.
Based on what I’ve seen, it can be extremely difficult for taller guys to pack on enough muscle mass to get that V Taper if they’re not genetically incline for it.
Heavy heavy lifting and clean eating for 6+ years and/or 1-3 steroid cycles seems to be the only way for some people to fix this.
And what if you’re short AND have no V Taper?
Then all I have to say is: THIS…
Final Verdict: Shoulder Press, incline bench, weighted pull ups until you can’t do anymore. Lift lift lift like your life depends on it. V Taper = girls. No V Taper = Forever Home Alone
Being Asian or Having an Indian Accent in the Mid Atlantic USA
If you’re Asian or have an Indian Accent in one of the following states:
Upstate New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, and West Virginia…
You’re fucked.
Indians do okay if they don’t have the accent. Not so much when they do.
Asians… be prepared for a long war
In these States, you are simply NOT seen as a sexual option by the majority of women there.
The Mid Atlantic is where I personally started out learning game so yes, it can be done but you absolutely cannot fuck up in any way.
Everything has to be on point. Whitewashed haircut and clothes or hip hop style are the only styles that pull there if you’re Asian.
Be prepared for rejection after rejection before you get good.
Final Verdict: Move to another State. Experience life on easy mode.
Autism:
Occasionally I see guys that can approach 50 girls a night no problem.
Then I discover that despite putting in so much time and energy into it, they’re still not getting laid.
And when I talk to them on Discord, the answer is painfully obvious: autism, either diagnosed heavy autism or undiagnosed light autism
If there was ever a death sentence with women, it’s autism.
Even seemingly good looking guys won’t get laid if they are too far in the spectrum.
Every action you do simply comes across weird to the girl. They way you walk, the way you speak, your vocal tonality, your body language…
Everything is just off.
And women don’t like that.
I’ve seen light autism get treated through finding a socially skilled friend or mentor and learning from them over the course of a couple years
But if you’re heavily socially autistic, my recommendation is to do whatever the fuck you can to fix the social skills before even thinking about approaching girls.
The social skills are the base requirement for the pickup skills.
The worst part is that when autistic people lock into a specific topic like RedPill or Pickup, they often work waaaay harder than the average guy.
They have this belief that if they do 1,000 approaches, a lay is just around the corner…
Unfortunately what actually ends up happening is they just reinforce weird social skills and bad habits over and over again which only leads to more failure.
Final Verdict: It’s Over. You can look like Brad Pitt and it would still be over until you fix the autism.
Severe Social Anxiety:
And… I don’t even think this needs to be mentioned because it’s so common sense but…
If you can’t even go into a roomful of people without having a panic attack…
If the idea of talking to a girl gives you nausea from being so anxious…
It’s Over Before it Even Began.
Final Verdict: Man the fuck up.
Common Misconceptions: When Is It NOT Over?
Bald/Balding:
Balding = Yes. It's Over. Better to be completely Bald than balding. Look at a picture of Jeff Bezos before and after. My recommendation if you're balding is to either do an aggressive hair recovery plan with Minoxidil, RU-58841, Finasteride, Microrolling, and possibly hair transplants or just shave it off completely.
Bald = Not really. I've seen too many bald men succeed with women to even consider hair a major disadvantage at all. The head shape doesn't even have to be particularly aesthetic. Women simply don't care about baldness as much as you think as long as you shave it all.
My theory is that an overabundance of testosterone and DHT directly leads to baldness so women can subconsciously sense that bald = high test.
You really don't even need an attractive head shape to pull it off. Just shave the combover.
Final Verdict: No, it's NOT over. Feel free to do Roids to your heart’s content. Muscles > Hair for every race of women except for Asian girls.
Facially Average/Ugly:
Honestly, unless you're in some East Asian country that values the pretty boy look like South Korea, most women around the world simply don't put that much weight on facial aesthetics.
Look around you sometime and take a look at the couples walking past you at the mall.
You'll often notice guys with seemingly ugly facial features with smoking hot women.
The natural reaction is to think, "Oh he must be rich and she’s a gold digger”
But based on my experience, facial aesthetics simply don't really play as much of a role in attraction as most guys assume.
Put a picture of a narrow shoulder male model looking guy on Tinder and a picture of an ugly but jacked and shredded gymbro and I guarantee you, the gym bro will outpull the male model looking dude.
Final Verdict: No, it's NOT over.
Beta Skull Shape:
You ever see this picture?
I’ve seen it more than a couple times and let me just say it’s complete bullshit.
There’s no such thing as a certain type of skull with deepest eyes that will get you laid.
What I think it actually is is that the guy with the “beta” skull shape doesn’t lift so he naturally has a weak neck which makes the back of his head protrude.
Final Verdict: lol skullshapes
Small Penis:
Penis size doesn’t matter. You see...
haha just kidding if you have a small dick it‘s OVER
Final Verdict: it’s OVER
Depressed:
Believe it or not some of the very best seducers are depressed and play the good looking brooding guy game to perfection.
Women have natural maternal instincts and want to cheer someone up when they’re down.
The Caveat is that this man must have enough value.
Therefore if you’re good looking no need to see a therapist for depression. You’ll probably attract more women going to a bar and being your sad self than trying to fake being happy
Final Verdict: Game On!

"if you're not atleast 5'9" is was over before it began"?
Sounds like something a blackpill incel on a looksmaxx forum would say. Personally I can't speak for people who might be around 5'0-5'2 but really? I know so many guys who are around 5'5"-5'7" with absolutely beautiful girlfriends.
One of my best friend's is around 5'6" and I can't remember the last time that man was single.
Do some women have preferences? Absolutely. But this idea that people have to fit into some sort of stat sheet to atleast get a girlfriend/get laid is just not true.
Do none of you go outside and see how many men are dating pretty attractive women even though they might be short, skinny, fat, tall, awkward, less-masculine or not very attractive?
You're definitely more likely to find these "requirements" on something like Tinder.
And yes I know OP mentions the "we all have that one friend" argument. But imo, it really is anecdotal evidence vs anecdotal evidence on both sides of the argument.
I'm sure there are studies that prove men with this thing or that thing are more attractive or fit more preferences but it works both ways.
Almost every guy I know likes some big tits and ass but will still date a pretty girl without the two.

I totally agree. I am 5’7 and have dated numerous girls my height or taller. I have a date with a girl my height tomorrow and another later next week with a smoke show who is taller than me. These are girls 19-24 years old and at LEAST true 7s or above. Height has never hindered me in any way at all. Obviously, you have to be in great shape, financially sound and have solid game but it should never be the end-all for a guy. I am 25 for reference.

Not really.
The way I see it, OP's objective with the post is to initially dismiss the blackpill as we've seen done countless times here. I guess what's supposed to make this post different is that he's embracing parts of it that might hold merit.
Every short guy knows that they could be rejected simply for being short. But also you could be rejected for multitude of things within your control.
This blackpill look of "oh if you aren't X height it's over" is fucking stupid.
If the point is to highlight that some men might have a harder time simply because they are short, going about it by saying shit like "it's over before it even began" isn't dismissing blackpill, it's embracing it.
You aren't helping those men in anyway but adding to the blackpill crowd who might actually believe that shit.

'Fixing' autism is almost impossible if you didn't realize early on in your life that something was very, very wrong with you. Your only option is to build a strong masking game (ideally paired with a good sense of humor), and you might be able to function in society at the cost of permanent depression and anxiety :) Just last week, my arms were twitching because I hate it when clothes touch my skin, and two (female) students in my class asked me why the fuck I was doing that, I told them that I didn't even know myself and stopped looking for answers a long time ago, which really made them laugh. There's no escaping the sperg 100%. Embrace it, and find a woman who's not too bothered by this side of you. I can promise you that they exist, but you have to put in the work in everything else that is under your control, and do your best to keep your sperg bouts in check in social situations.

Hey man, how do African guys do in London? I’m 6 ft tall and buff (been lifting since 2015), plus I’m an engineer. I have a very mild accent but still intend to fully adopt standard RP.
