I became fearless when I realized that most women already made up their minds about me before I approached. Guys think you have to use a bunch of techniques, but you just need to know how to not sound stupid.
When a woman really wants you she'll do most of the work by positioning herself for you to make certain moves. It's up to you to know what the right move is.

It hurts to read this message a hundred different ways and different times in this sub and understand it, but know that other guys reading it can't possibly understand it.
You've worded everything beautifully and it's simple, it's elegant. When you feel what you're saying in interactions with women, it feels...powerful. You have a knowledge, a little secret, a gift from the woman. The thing is that you absolutely have to see it for yourself to get it.
The only thing that holds that back is fear. So the biggest, most overlooked, simple point of your post will be
I became fearless when
We all have to be willing to put ourselves out there, before we'll learn.

This happened to me last night. So my buddy’s gf’s sister is easily one of the most attractive women I’ve ever met and we were all together for a local food event in our town last night & ended up hitting bars afterwards, things were a bit touch and go for a while but I could tell I at least had some of her interest. I became fearless when the woman I was chatting with bought ME a drink the second n third rounds, dam near unheard of right, and I told her she was making me feel so pretty for buying me drinks and I have long hair so I flipped it. She loved that + a few of my other jokes. So, a little background on me, I’ve had an amazing personal transformation from being ugly af and nobody ever wanted me to now where I feel as if, and can usually tell I’m top 5 most attractive guys in a room, I always catch women’s eyes and have had 30-50 likes waiting for me on tinder for a while now, it’s nice. and I’ve worked my ass off to get to this point and I’m still working for more. (-50 lbs +4-pack & muscles & long hair, 6’2, two year journey so far) (yes looks so matter to a degree) I usually fkn suck at social interaction though, it can be my Achilles heel & I’m kinda awkward sometimes hence the reason I joined the sub. I’m very pleased I wasn’t awkward last night. I was genuine with her and shared a few of my perspectives on things, at the end of the night she told me “thank you” really sincere, and idk if it’s cause she’s just had shit luck with shit dudes and I gave her hope or wtf it was about but now I have her on Snapchat and I’m playing the patient game until any other breakthroughs, really hoping things turn in my favor, would wife in an instant.

Dude, you need to make a post for this point on its own. Its an important point and can help others stop focusing on themselves as much in interactions which in my experience helps.

How exactly does one not sound stupid?
[–]Douglex 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Women think anything that is "obvious" or "pointless" is stupid to talk about. So you gotta have a little foresight to see what can either of you gain or learn from a particular topic. For example talking to her about the eating habits of manatees is stupid. So just talk about yourself and her to be safe. Don't even think too hard about it and the less you speak the better. Actions > words.
[–]ArcheryDude101 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I find that piggybacking off what she's saying, or introducing another perspective on her thoughts is very useful. I completely agree with u/Douglex's reply to your comment. Its a lot easier for her to be interested in something she brings up than it is interesting her in something you say. That's why I always do that before leading to my own points.

Be good looking and know how to speak without sounding stupid and you will 100% get laid.
[–]Murfdigidy 79 points80 points81 points 7 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link
Looks help, height helps, money helps, status helps, fashion helps and list goes on
BUT NONE OF THOSE ONE THINGS WILL GAURENTEE YOU GETTING LAID. As many have said before, unless you're in the top 5% of male attractiveness you fall into a category where you are mixed in with the majority of guys. So if a guy has the looks but his game sucks, Yea sure he'll have some luck but he'll miss out on alot too. If youre an avg guy but your game is tight you might be on par with the guy with better looks and even then because you're game is right steal that girl from the good looking guy.
So Yea looks help but they don't gaurentee you shit. What will gaurentee you better luck is using seduction and taking tips from this sub. No you won't get every girl but you sure as hell will get more than you did if you didn't use good seduction techniques. Looks only take yuu so far
[–]Insanity_-_Wolf 11 points12 points13 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I think this is regional too. What's attractive is often just a trend. From region to region, I sometimes can't help but laugh at the guys the chicks there are fawning over. Know your demographics people.

I can't grow facial hair so I'm missing out on the beards are sexy trend going on rn but when I was in China a lot of girls said beards are disgusted and they thought I'm good looking for having a more young looking face lol. Still wish I could grow a beard tho cos that's the shit in my local demographic
[–]Alex_O7 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Don't understand that feeling bro, since i had a pretty big beard 😂 But yes i know that demographic could kill us because we are too common type of guy, or the opposite.
[–]noprideinsomniac95 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
dude same. If I try to grow one it's all patchy and wiry. People make fun of "adolescent 'staches" but like I don't want to have it. I want to have a full beard
case in point: I remember 10 years ago hearing how women in my area thought beards were gross, they prefer clean shaven men, etc. Now, every girl I talk to prefers dudes that have beards. By the time I can grow one they'll probably be out of style again :/

Looks gives surely a big advantage over others, but it’s only a single variable in a much bigger equation.
Seduction is not about looks, but looks is part of Seduction.
[–]quinnmcd 39 points40 points41 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
This situation happens all the time and you’re stating the obvious. Of course do look matter, but you’re missing the point of seduction techniques (teasing, negging, qualifying.) Seduction is more about turning a maybe into a yes. Looks get your foot in the door, but game and personality get you further.
[–]420KUSHBUSH 7 points8 points9 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This. A thousand times this
[–]Insanity_-_Wolf 16 points17 points18 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Are we still on this, "do looks matter" bullshit? Ffs, what idiot was arguing against the notion? Look, in this instance the guy got pulled by the girl. That's not really what game is about. Looks, money, social status, height, etc.. ALL of these things matter (of course they do, children know this), but game is a seperate category. So why do develop 'game'? Because when all those things are gone (yes, you get shorter with age) the thing that stays is game.
At the end of the day, game is basically sales. You're literally selling yourself and if you start thinking of yourself as a product things sort of fall into place. Look at the most successful sales people, are they the most attractive people on the planet with the best toned bodies coupled with an amazing personality? HELL NO! Just like sales, game is a skill and it's worth learning not just for 'getting girls', but because it's extremely valuable in basically every other facet of life.
Back to the topic. So I get a hint of resentment from OP, why is this? I mean who wouldn't want girls just falling in their lap? I'd argue that it's a matter of control and quality.
Control: If I see an opportunity, I want to be able to seize it. Not lounge around wondering what another woman thinks of me. This kind of passive behavior is hugely effeminate and unattractive. My life philosophy is to be at the cause side of the cause/effect spectrum in life. Thinking otherwise leads to a grim victim mentality mindset which prevents you from taking action. When you live at the effect in life, you'll always find someone to blame for your problems.. and procees to do nothing about it. Fuck that, take action and grab life by the balls. It kicks you back, dust yourself off and have at it again with some freshly learned lessons.
Quality: If you're a guy and you're being approached by another woman, chances are that she's not exactly going to be your ideal type. 9/10 that I'm approached, it's by someome that I'm not interested in to begin with. You need to be able to get after what you want.
And, plenty of super attractive guys lose the interest of girls, because often they don't know wtf they're doing. I was out with a pro-athlete last night and he couldn't pull a single girl, despite having clear iOi's from them. He's a solid 9/10 and certainly a dime in other woman's eyes, but he couldn't stop talking about himself and that repelled every girl around him lmao.
Bottom line: It can be tough. I'm not gonna lie, sometimes girls will tear your heart out of your chest and fucking stomp it into the cold hard concrete. But you grow from it. As a result, you become a stronger and better person. That's just the price that needs to be paid if you've set your sights on the summit.

Wtf you get shorter with age? I thought that was only when you're really old...
[–]Insanity_-_Wolf 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
If you want lose less by the time you get older, stay fit. It's the loss in muscle and bone mass that causes reduction in height over time (as much as 2 inches).

Oh that's good I don't got to worry about that then
[–]Alex_O7 4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You have no need for tactics when a girl is that much into you. Seduction is somthing that could help, but since most of the people don't know/use them, and we are not extint as species there are other ways to get laid of course.
If i was in you in that situation i would have played the role of the wing for both of them and maybe you would remediate a date with the other firend of that girl.

Dressing like a slob, smelling like shit, having a shit haircut with no hairstyle, not having clothes and shoes that match, etc.
All of that is ugly and not all of that is taken into account by the majority of dudes here. "Durrr my face is ugly to me because I think girls don't like me, that means my face is ugly"

lol, so true. I cringe so hard whenever someone is like ''Make sure you take a shower'' when people are talking about how a girl needs to find you physically attractive lol
They're not walking around smelling of shit with snot running down their noses lol. They smell good and get regualr hair cuts and copy what's 'in fashion' in their area. Just that they're just physically unnattractive. Usually a mixture of like, being short, massive nose, balding, bug eyes, lack of masucline face and inabililty to grow facial hair to hide it etc etc
[–]1xltP3mgkiF92 points 7 years ago [recovered] (5 children) | Copy Link
Ok, I'm bald with bad squint (can't be fixed), had some cosmetic surgeries, dress pretty well, care about hygiene obviously. Still I'm treated like a creep exclusively based on looks, as I'm also a friendly person. So there is obviously truth in what you say, but if someone is really ugly it just doesn't work. I've heard it all so many times, but my real life experience differs a lot.
[–]ImJustSo 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago* (4 children) | Copy Link
Mmmm, people say these things and I have a hard time believing that they're secure and confident individuals having many interactions with others daily.
Still I'm treated like a creep exclusively based on looks
Every girl you approach actually attacks your looks, every time? You hear negative feedback enough that you know you're just an ugly dude? Where'd you get the idea that the things you listed are ugly? The thing that is you. It's said enough times that you know for sure you're treated like a creep based on your looks.
If you walked into a room strutting a confidence and smug male pride, no one calls you fuckin ugly or thinks you're creepy. You might be ugly, but that's not why you're a creep, or why people aren't attracted to you.
The squinty thing, no clue what that means or why it's an unattractive trait, unless you're Asian? The balding thing, plenty of guys are fine balding. I've got a Middle Eastern friend, ugly as fuck. He walks like a cowboy, he says things for shock value, he's ridiculously lewd/bawdy. Downright actually creepy sometimes.
And people don't call him creepy or ugly, everyone loves the guy. I love the guy. He really is ugly though. Total pussy slayer, too.
I won't argue to say looks are irrelevant, but there's a huge fuck all pie that it's just a tiny slice of....
I'm in the boat for an ugly, fat slob and now I'm handsome, in decent shape, with good style. Looks are an obvious factor for me everyday. It's night and day how many women find me attractive comparatively. I can just see that there was a lot that changed about me, which are actually what made me attractive. I had the same "body looks" for a period of time, after losing weight, where I still wasn't attractive to women. I looked like I do now, but with less confidence, less sense of style, less everything. My journey was fat and ugly until 27yo, unattractive until 29, attractive to many women since then at 36yo.
We're all our own worst critic and we cannot judge ourselves accurately. We also can't really judge information we get from others accurately, if we're influencing that data with personal data while interpreting it.
I've learned a lot and I know without a doubt that I can leave the house, find a place with women and approach them. I know without a doubt that there's some women there that will be freaked the fuck out by me even being close to them, they will look like they need to be far, far away from me.
I also know without a doubt that there will be women who will practically throw themselves at me there. They will touch me without permission, they will give me their phones numbers, ask for my Facebook or insta. They will even try to kiss me, or tell me how fuckin hot I am.
Doesn't matter, because I can go right back to that first kind of chick. The one that thinks I'm Igor, the one that thinks I'm a hideous monster or some shit and can put who I am into perspective. I'm a handsome monster. Or I'm an ugly sexy cowboy?
Fuck if I know what I am, what I've learned is that my looks don't matter in regards to my behavior. I have only one way that I can act, and basing it on looks or thinking about looks when you're trying to figure out how to act is impossible.
[–]1xltP3mgkiF92 points 7 years ago [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link
The thing with being confident is that you either have it based on experience or not. If I don't have positive experiences with women even though I'm almost forty, then how am I supposed to be confident?
I faked it for years but guess what? I didn't make it. Every non-clueless woman will detect a fake immediately.
How do I know that I'm ugly? Because women turn away from me, don't want to talk at all, literally walk away. And not - I'm not unfriendly, aggressive, chauvinistic or a "nice guy".
[–]ImJustSo 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

[–]1xltP3mgkiF90 points 7 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah, a good answer if you don't care. If you'd like to have your family some day and to be happy and not lonely whole life - it's not enough. I tried not to care, but it doesn't work for me. It makes it only worse.

[–]McDrMuffinMan1 points 7 years ago* [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link
Because it's a shorthand way to tell people to focus on what you can change. The majority of attraction is game, not looks
[–]cheynestoke 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
It's actually the opposite, The 'attraction' part is about looks. Game just helps you not mess up with girls that are attracted to you (such as passing shit tests etc)
[–]MrMemper 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Agreed. “Attraction” (initial interest) is based on looks. “Arousal” (drawing them in emotionally/physically) is based on game.
[–]Moldydrpepper 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah like that shit's not new lol
I think it's to inspire confidence. Of course looks matter, but if you feel like you don't look good enough, you're going to miss opportunities. If you act as if they don't matter, you maximize your approaches and then success. A good looking guy will obviously have more success than an average guy, but they are both maximizing if they approach as many as they could.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
We really need to kill this ''girls don't care about looks'' stuff.
I once went around some bars with a male model. Friend of a friend. Girls were acting stupid around him. It was real eye opening. Girls definitely care about looks but with a few key differences from how guys care about looks. Like guys generally don't care about fashion that much. A guy who wears cargo shorts and hockey jerseys everywhere will date a girl who wears Chanel... or has tattoos and wears vintage dresses... or a girl who wears Adidas track pants... or is corporate... and everything in between. But girls sort of want a guy who goes with her outfit/look. If she has a lot of tats, she is probably into dudes with tats. If she dresses in fancy expensive clothes, she will want a guy who dresses similarly, and so on. So having a lot of style can make up for a lot. But guys generally won't date a girl they find unattractive but has a great sense of style.
[–]noprideinsomniac95 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I mean you don't know that guys life, this could've been the first time it happened to him in a long time, if ever.
Yep, singled out anecdotal occurrences don't prove or even suggest anything meaningful. That's the biggest complaint I have with seduction and this sub, lots of information is thrown around without any evidence besides what one person has observed.
[–]Dextorian 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Reason people should be picky about what they read in the internet. All this shit about looks don’t get you laid is complete shit! It’s all down to initial attraction, if in that first few seconds she doesn’t find you attractive nothing you say or do will have an impact!

Idunno if anybody really is arguing that looks don't matter anymore man, I think most understand that game and attraction is pretty multi faceted and complicated.
There's people who argue that looks or game doesn't matter, because they have game or looks (and the other one isn't important in their mind). I think it's more of a self defense mechanism when someone tries to say that looks don't matter, because they know they've kinda topped out and same with the other way around it's those guys who don't think game can be learned they just don't have it, and don't need it.
I could be wrong but I haven't heard many people talk about that for a long time
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I thought that was well-known. Sure, game matters, but looks matter too. Us guys are similar in that aspect too. How many times have you been all over a super hot girl who was quite bland? Also how many times have you met an average girl whose personality is so great you feel attraction towards her? Some people stimulate your mind, while others your body. Both can create attraction. The ideal would be to stimulate both, but you can still get some if you can do one, you just gotta play your cards right and play with what you were given.
[–]nonsass 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Looks are obviously the most important thing when it comes to cold approach. Game won't help if you're not her 'type' (physically)
And the amount of 'game' required (once she's chosen you) depends on just HOW handsome you are to her. If you look like a young Tom Welling, you'd need to be VERY autistic to net get laid with whoever you want
I agree with you, and the best way to deal with it is to look at the positive side: it saves you a lot of time because when you realize you aren't someone's type, you can just get up and move on without taking it personally! Another positive side is that different women have different types, a "6" might reject you but you might have success with an "8" because they have different aesthetic ideals.
I remember reading some article stating that one aspect of a stable happy marriage is based off of how your partner views your looks. Girls do care about what a guy looks like, but guys also car about how girls look too.
Now that being said, there’s no reason to give up and not talk to a girl. Everyone has preferences. Every girl is not looking for the solid 9.5 with mega muscles and blah blah blah. I’ve found a lot of guys I’ve liked are insecure about their curly hair, but I have a thing for it. You might not feel hot, but someone like you. Social skills are still 10 points higher than looks for me, but looks are still important.

Lol, its not that important. If it was, every executive at the bar would be getting laid instead of standing their chump circle. I've seen guys who wear $3k-$30k shoes, watches, belts, etc. They roll out to bars/lounges and stand against the wall and drink by themselves.
I think there is a very small subset of girls that are into it - its a thing that can help you (like wearing a nicer shirt) but I don't think its a deal maker or deal breaker. I was pulling while wearing flipflops or payless shoes. Most chicks don't care.

For sure lucky! A good face will get you in too! Moving forward if you even pay like 10% attention to how you're dressing and spend a bit on a few nice pairs of kicks... omg lol, girls everywhere. I remember an interview with Eminem where he said shoes are 90% of your outfit right there. "You have a good pair of shoes on it doesn't really matter what your outfit is, as long as it remotely matches your shoes you're already ahead of most guys not even thinking about that" so for sure, look into upgrading your appearance a bit, the results may impress you!

This was before he was famous, before he was anything same as you and me- he was saying this as his motto leading up to being famous. That's what I'm getting at. Look past his fame on a pedestal and listen to what he's saying. He himself was saying shoes are important and they are. I look at girls eyes a lot and pay attention to where they look. They look at shoes A LOT. Your whole outfit actually but shoes (to them) are a latent indicator of socioeconomic scaling. Can this guy afford basic Red Lobster or are we getting McDonalds fish fillet? Em said your shoes say a lot and I heard that. And he was saying this shit before being famous and badass when he was just another guy.

Good looking guys just need to run 'don't fuck up' game. Basically, don't be super autistic
But at the same time, having amazing 'game' won't help if she's not attracted to you

I'm going out gaming tonight with my most handsome friend, so maybe i'll let you know waht happens lol
[–]ThermiteMillie 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Of course girls care about looks BUT what one girl finds attractive or even societies general definition of attractive doesn't mean that ALL girls are attracted to the same thing.
[–]Angelrun 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No shit.
[–]leese216 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I feel like "good-looking" is so subjective because what I deem attractive, my best friend never thinks so. We have wildly different taste in men and it goes vice versa. Who she thinks is hot, I'm like, "meh".
There will be plenty of women who find you hot! The thing is seeing if you're attracted to them also. Only once in my life have I ever been attracted to every single aspect of a man i was seeing. There was not one thing about him I wasn't crazy for. And it wasn't just physical. It was emotional and intellectual as well. From top to bottom. That's always been my problem.

[–]Frost_Fang 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Tbh no. Nobody ever said looks are irrelevant to them and they also don't care about looks as much as we do. Guys mostly go for looks, but much less guys would date someone "ugly" than girls would. They value looks less, maybe cause they don't look for who to seduce next.
But when they are, in the club or whatever and plan to approach a guy, obviously they'll approach someone attractive cause they don't know anything about anyone in there and nobody is charming yet, so looks is the only metric they can base their decision of. What else could they do? Go for the guy with big ears cause he might be a good listener?
You shouldn't take "girls don't care about looks" too literally, it didn't mean exactly that, it just meant that it matters to them less than you'd think. Unless you think it doesn't matter at all, then you're just wrong.
[–]msgs 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Of course a person's looks matter, guy or girl! Personalty, confidence, intelligence also all very much matter as well. Control what you can control. Learn to put work in improve what you can improve. Learn to punch above your weight so to speak.
That's what this subreddit is (or should be) all about.

This whole conversation is based on bullshit misrepresentations of two valid views.
No one is going to sit here and really say that inner game is the only thing that matters or that looks aren't a factor at all.
But trying to say that looks are all, doesn't fly. And inner game isn't the only thing either.
2
I became fearless when I realized that most women already made up their minds about me before I approached.
Damn true.
Though this happens not just due to "looks." Body language and a whole cocktail of non-verbal communication is coming together to result in an impression that each woman is either into or they aren't.
Finding out is like that game show where you try to pick one of three doors that has the car, rather than a goat. You won't know until you try and there's no way to tell from the outside beforehand.
3
So many guys go down this whole road of thinking that they simply aren't going to be attractive to almost any woman, which is a turn off to almost any woman, and a self-defeating mindset.
......which is why people get so up in arms when someone says, "LOOKS MATTER," or "LOOKS ARE THE ONLY THING!"
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I agree but looks will only get you so far. unless you’re RIDICULOUSLY handsome, you gotta have the badges to back up your looks. Have a good job, be a gentleman, be well dressed, show off some talents, make a name for yourself. Otherwise in my experience, they literally won’t care.

Can confirm girls care about looks. When i was studying for the cfa program for around 4 years of my mid 20s I would gain 30 to 40 lbs leading up to the yearly exam and couldn’t get the top 10 percent of hoes at the club that I am used to. I would then lose weight post exam in a few months. The minute I go back to 155 and a six pack and it’s pretty easy as pie. When I approach a girl, I often notice that some girls look to their friends for confirmation. Anyways if you are hot they tell her he’s pretty nice despite not knowing a thing about me except my friendly approach. Same approach when I am fat the nice part comment goes away. Anyways I’m currently engaged to a chick yanet Garcia type of chick. I’m about 190 now and she hasn’t left me. I’m really surprised and happy. Anyways I can easily lose weight, there is just less incentive to do so. But I will lose it when wedding time comes.

[–]noprideinsomniac95 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I agree he should lose for health reasons, but if shes gonna leave him over a few pounds I'd say she did him a favor cause that's not the type of person you should marry.
very true. I've always worked out and stayed fit for me, not for anyone else, so I keep doing it regardless of if I'm single or taken. I'd want a partner to be the same way.
[–]dollazdrankanddank 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I would not cry because I’m really adaptable. When I need something, I sacrifice everything to get it. Like I said I can literally lose 30 lbs in 3 months from running and basketball. I just need an incentive to work out. I can still pull girls easily at my weight, it’s just harder. Lol if she leaves me over my weight. Then it’s for the best. At 30 I actually feel like I am still getting more attractive and I can still have a lot of fun. I think 35 is the ideal age to get married and to start a family. I know dudes that go on keto. It’s bad for your liver and kidney.
[–]Caimthehero 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Who the fuck told you that women don't care about looks? Maybe I've missed that but what I've seen are looks aren't the only important thing and they're not.
Can you get entirely through some sets just by being good looking? Yeah there will be a few but you're saying it like you cant actually become better looking.
Steps to become better looking.
BE FUCKING HYGENIC. I can't overstate how important this is. Unless you have god level game girls don't want to be with the guys that have Nasty teeth, Body Odor, Out of control Acne, or wearing dirty clothes
Get an attractive sense of style. Hint well fitting jeans, black shirt, and good boots (not cowboy) don't go out of style.
Go to the gym. Just fucking do it and stop being lazy. It's literally 20 minutes out of your day and you'll start seeing incremental improvement
Have a haircut that fits your style, sorry balding guys if it's noticeable it needs to be gone.
There ya go. Looks are important and anyone who has ever tried online dating would tell you that in a nutshell. That said you can't improve looks to the same degree you can improve game. Yeah some girls may be forever off limits to you because of height, looks, etc. But if you have a great life that girls want to share with then you'll always have girls interested.
If you want proof to what lifestyle can actually get you look up Dan Blizerian. He's the absolute best example of how lifestyle can slay for you and now he's known for it so girls literally flock to him to partake. It's circular

Game trumps looks
[–]Douglex 12 points13 points14 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Game is your ability to know what's the next appropriate step to take.
[–][deleted] 13 points14 points15 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yes. Game is basically to not be an autist.
[–]Insanity_-_Wolf 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No, you're confusing social skills for game. Game includes social skills, but it encompasses more than that.
[–]cheynestoke 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
exactly! I've read so many game books and everything in them is just common sense I already knew lol

[–]essexaspie 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
To be honest, you read every day on this sub 'girls don't care about looks, bro'' so it kind of needed to be said tbh
[–]ImJustSo -2 points-1 points0 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
It's embasrrasing and makes our sub look retarded lol. They care about looks at least as much as we do
Seeing comments like this is what makes this sub look retarded. The childish nature of your post and others like it make it look retarded. The lack of social development of the general population in the sub is what makes it look retarded, because in comparison to their peers, they are by definition retarded in growth.
Your post is retarded in its understanding of attraction and what it's like to be attractive to women. You didn't mention the most common phrase you'll read here: "Looks get your foot in the door."
I get checked out a lot. I get cat called by women and men. I get random strangers giving me compliments on anything noticeable about me, my hair, my beard, my clothes, my personality, my "look", or just how fuckin hot I am to them.
You think that I can't fuck up? You think I can't say something dumb? You think I'll have the energy to want to make the right moves in the right situation? You think everyone I meet doesn't already have an idea in their head about how I should act because of their eyes?
Example: Chick sees me and thinks fuck he's hot, bet he's a total dick, I love it.
She meets me and finds out I'm volunteering boy scout saves the world kinda guy that treats grandmas like saints. Does the chick like it? Fuck if I know, I don't have tattoos.
What if she thinks I'm a choir boy and I turn out to be married? Polyamorous? What if she finds out I date multiple women?
How attractive you are physically means fuck all, if you can't play your game. I started ugly. I got hot. I failed both ways. Then I got attractive and hot. Now, I succeed where I want, when I want.
Looks aren't "nothing" and they're not "everything". Trying to alienate one aspect of a person to point to only that thing as why they succeed is an infantile and immature view. It's totally unrealistic.
I am a total package, from the ground up. My shoes, my clothes, my hair, my beard, the way I walk, the way I talk, my social status, the behavior I pick. You think like a peasant, you act like a peasant. Then a king stands at the bar and confuses your shit.
Know what that guy didn't do? Say the wrong thing. I can guarantee you've said the wrong things plenty of times. Don't come here and act like that's our fault, because we're all here to help you. Ungrateful, whiney bitch.
[–]crawleydown 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
the guy at the bar wouldn't have had a shot if she didn't think he was handsome. People think they're running game but they're just being normal with a girl who thinks he's hot lol
[–]EncouragementRobot 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Happy Cake Day crawleydown! If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.
[–]ImJustSo -1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
the guy at the bar wouldn't have had a shot if she didn't think he was handsome.
And that's not disputed by what I said. You're not attacking my argument, because that's not it. That is a straw man.
People think they're running game but they're just being normal with a girl who thinks he's hot lol
This isn't disputed entirely, but one small point. Some men don't know how to just "be normal" and they have to learn. It does feel like running game, until it becomes your normal. I was a really fat, neckbeardy slob, 330lbs. Jnco jeans, 3XL band t-shirts.
Becoming physically attractive didn't just change me into an attractive man. I had to learn that part. I had to learn to just let myself be attractive to people, first of all. I don't expect it, I just never doubt it anymore. That's not how I lived before, but it's how we all should do.
It was a lot to navigate, because even though I was attractive physically to women, I'd still fuck up all the time. You could be hot to 4 women and one woman could hate your shit and turn the whole set sour. Now I've got to learn whether I'm hot still and not have a hurt ego, right? An ego that was already fat for 28 years.
You laugh at people "being normal" and say it's not game, well fuck you for that. Being normal ain't easy. Running game to be normal ain't easy either. I highly fuckin doubt you're normal.
I don't think he's saying that it's not possible to mess up if a girl thinks you're hot. (Although it's hard to mess up if she thinks you're super handsome tbh. You need to be pretty autistic)
But he's right in his OP (which is why it's been so heavily upvoted I guess)
Girls care about looks the same as we do. And if you don't meet her looks threshold (and some hot girls are very picky indeed. Especially hot young ones) then no amount of 'game' will help
Well, sure, I'm not going to dispute that bit. I know that I'm drop dead gorgeous to some women and a hard pass to others.
[–]XDarkstarX1138 -1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Looks aren't all that important, girls care about it to a certain extent. But overtime it tends to decrease in importance and personality becomes more relevant.
