It's really so pronounced now that there are many places in America where it's hard to even hook up with a 5-6. Girls are willing to play celibate until the proper suitor comes along. The only place I've ever been to where the girls date down is in NY and New Jersey (the Promised Land).

I feel like the importance of game and physical fitness is now more intense than ever before. As in if you're not a certain height and/or don't have very athletic musculature with single-digit bodyfat%, girls will be unresponsive to you.

I feel like a big gap in current philosophy regarding game is that "looks don't matter." I think they do matter, and in a big way. I'd say that being fit is a part of game itself because it's a built-in DHV that says that you take care of yourself, have discipline, and have the ability to be alpha.

I also feel as if commercial PUA's downplay the importance of looks because they have a product to sell.
