Its kinda scary how your attractiveness to women are dependent on your social validation.

For example, The most obvious factor of validation is naturally heights. Women like tall guys, no brainer. But the key reasoning is very simple, it is socially more acceptable and seen as a sort of status symbol to have a taller boyfriend.

But your overall attractiveness, popularity, relative status etc. can play a huge part.

Rule of thumb is that women will have more attraction towards you if other women in your visinity are either attracted to you or thinks highly of you.

In some extreme cases a woman's decision to chase you, be your gf or in the opposite direction break up with you can be largely attributted to what their friends/close relatives say about you.

Its like their decision making is bound to this invisible list of reviews attached to your profile.

This is also extend applies to your social circle as well. Never let your friends or family treat you with disrespect around a potential girl you are interested. What might be harmless banter amongst your circle can be easily seen as low validation by women.

Its scary how they run on group mentality
