It's been just over one year of the red pill for me. I came from a point where my money and fitness were in order, so I just needed to work on improving my red pill knowledge, game and looks. This came very quickly given the money and fitness base.

Where I have found myself is at a point where OK-looking women are all over me, sending me IOIs on the street, being feminine when we're dating, doing 'wifely duties' around my house, taking me out on expensive dates, buying me gifts and allowing anal/BDSM in the bedroom. Meanwhile when it comes to hot girls, I only bedded them after getting my game 100% right, and even after the bang, they act very flakey, meaning I haven't really passed their hypergamous filters. Still I can't help but wish to somehow get hotter girls. I feel like I have done so much self improvement, I am close to being a complete all-round guy SMV-wise and I now would like hot, submissive women as the cherry on top of all this work.

As I continue working towards this goal by increasing my SMV further (trying to gain Instagram followers for a status boost), I can't help but wonder whether plating has put me on the same silly path as the hypergamous women we talk about in the red pill community. Always chasing after the most attractive people who are noncommittal, while not giving a chance to the people of average attractiveness who are desperate to secure my commitment? Does anyone have any experience with this feeling, and what would you advise?
