This post/comment has been removed because it violates Rule #5: The topic is too broad, has been covered a lot already, or involves the assumption overly limited by race, age, physical limitations/appearance, and/or other inborn external qualities.

Put in some reading & work before asking questions that have been addressed, like: * How do I approach? * How do I get a number? * How do I talk to girls at college? * How/When do I kiss a girl? * Does this really work?

As for the last one, it is an answered question. There have been many posts on physical limitations over the years, including this one. No need to re-ask it.

Actually, you can be unhealthy and attractive, but being healthy will never make you uglier.

Attractiveness it's not guaranteed if you are healthy, but it will make you more attractive for sure.

Same thing applies to wealth of you ask me, for years, my attractiveness was low because I didn't have much money to spend on fashion, and yeah, most people will say that you can spend a little amount of money and have a good wardrobe, although this is true, let's be real: it helps big time.

Well, I'm fit and very healthy nowadays, but my hair loss as a man and crooked teeth don't make me attractive.

I live a very active lifestyle and eat very clean. I get most of my muscle from just the activities I do on a daily (biking everywhere, walking my dog, recently I built a fence around my property). The physical traits people compliment me on are all just indicators of health… white straight teeth, good posture, slim/fit build, clear skin, etc. it’s very evident by looking at me that I’m in good health and I work hard to maintain that.

"When dudes in this sub say "I'm just ugly" - first ask them if they're healthy. 9 times out of 10, they're not living a healthy lifestyle."

How do you know it's 9 times out of 10?! Have you met them? Was Nick Mason of (Pink Floyd) unhealthy? Did he eat less healthy food than David Gilmour?

Not disagreeing with you on the broader issue. Just highlighting how pointless the whole post is.

I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

One could argue that health is a major part of sociability too. Firstly, health is a multi-faceted term that refers to more than just physicality. And secondly, being physically healthier helps get one out of their head so much. Last week I’d been eating more fruits and veggies than normal, for example, and I felt so much more a part of the environment around me. Generally I feel trapped in my head, but suddenly I was bantering with people and rarely coming up short with things to say. A hot nurse even said I had to take her number. And fuck man, I’m probably on the spectrum (but undiagnosed). I’ve been bulking on-and-off forever, but this latest development is another kick in the ass to clean up my diet and start some cutting phases.

Being attractive is largely about being healthy

Correct, but the rest of the thread discusses 'looking' superficially healthy - it's a performative depiction of 'health'. Guys should have basic self-care, of course, but they need to worry about their posture and not how slim their waist is.

True 'honest' indicators of neurological health - how you operate under the pressure of the moment - composure, the thing that conveys status - is the thing women look at genetically for their offspring. The capability for leadership, dominance, social influence, etc. Masculinity.

I had notoriously difficult skin, I battled with dermatitis for a long time until I got it under control - despite looking like two-face I'd be out there smoking everyone. In fact, it's only seen as more impressive and 'mystical' to have an outrageous sense of confidence despite flaws, since then it's more obvious that you went out of your way to do something and acquired the 'secret sauce'.

Looking like a 'normal enough' guy - no one thinks I had to interpret arcane scripture off the internet and slay 100 demons to earn the right to charisma - no, I'm 'just handsome', my unyielding ascent to glory has been retroactively credited to Aveeno and MCT oil. Rant over.

The ridiculousness of this post is in not recognizing how much of these “cues” are dependent on genetics, not health. Jawline, skin, hair, droopy eyes, and to a lower extent (primarily for men) slim waist, are almost entirely genetic. Eye bags are usually a structural issue, puffy eyes from low sleep is reversible in a single night (it’s a result of blood pooling in your eye lids/under eyes, it should turn white when pressed on). jawline/especially double chin is related to genetics of bone structure/fat distribution - those need cosmetic surgery to fix, not a clean diet and sleep. Hairline is 100% genetic unless you’re malnourished in which case the hair loss would be acute, sporadic, and reversible. Your waist slimness is related to bone structure, not just body fat, although it’s more a concern for women who want a thigh gap which is dependent on bone structure. The effects of diet/sleep/fitness on acne is minor, aging skin is largely genetic but certain lifestyles like high sun or smoking/alcohol certainly accelerates skin aging.

I would say being healthy is a plus. But having emotional intelligence and awareness is way more important than just having a fit body. Ask any woman who dated/ married then divorced an alpha chad at peak physical condition.

Real post.

DrAcecer · 2026-06-04T20:42:21+00:00

This…. I always told my younger sisters this to help there insecurity’s.

“Ugly people are just people who don’t take care of themselves physically and mentally”.

I personally think ugliness is a show of character and has less to do with looks per se. someone super attractive in 1 photo but doesn’t take care of themselves outside of their instagram shots isn’t a beautiful person.

I have dated plenty of insanely “attractive people” but outside of their modeling they never wear anything but sweats, only eat McDonald fries and complains that the world is out to get them.

These people taught me that you can make yourself look attractive pretty easily, but that’s not the same as actually being a decent person who takes care of yourself.

It takes ALOT of work if you want to look good everyday. Putting on makeup and smiling isn’t going to fix your deeper seeded triggers that people find “unattractive”

Sandvicheater · 2026-06-04T21:53:51+00:00

You can be shredded 6 packs but with the face of steve buscemi still get no bitches.

But steve buscemi gets bitches despite his fugly face because he's famous actor.

Food for thought

Zyzz2179 · 2026-06-05T02:42:29+00:00

What kind of BS post is this?

The only point that meets being healthy is having a slim waist. Clear jawline is impossible if you have receeding chin. Good hair is impossible if you have serious case of male pattern baldness. Clear skin is impossible if you have severe acne issues. If you have bad genetics, your ceiling is going to be way lower than people with good genetics.

OP needs to just tell us the self improvement courses he’s trying to sell rather than this BS.

66% of American women are obese as well with 33% of them even qualifying as morbidly obese. If part of their demands for a partner is someone who is healthy then they sure as shit ain’t living up to their end of the bargain either

jbpslobster · 2026-06-05T09:03:48+00:00

I think that when you grow older, being attractive is striving to look neat and clean.

Metrack · 2026-06-04T21:29:39+00:00

Nope

smind893 · 2026-06-04T21:00:52+00:00

Ugh

Another self serving generalization with zero facts.

There are plenty of chunky monkeys, including me, who do grewt with beautiful women.

Same way there's plenty of "healthy" guys who can't get any cheeks from a girl.

ControlGood8979 · 2026-06-05T04:43:15+00:00

Another dumb post to prey on insecurity.

All you need is a good waist to shoulder ratio. Get good sleep, drink water. Look in the mirror and learn to love to like what you see.
