Anecdotal Evidence For Regional Variation In Online Dating Difficulty

My impression is that v neck sweaters look better when one is cut, and crew necks when one is fat.

Not really Dave, I just noticed when I was a framecel that no shirts ever fit me properly. It's even very difficult for me to find jeans with a 29 waist. I always go for slim fitting shirts now so it tapers at the waist.

I have a hard time finding clothes that fit.

My upper body is a snug xl, while my torso I'd short, and lean. Ends up looking like a dress on me because it goes way further down from my waist line.

I have to cut excess fabric. Still end up being baggy and not fitted around my torso


I find the odd apparel that fits well. Might look into having my shirts tailored towards my dimensions.

5'10
I will look into that, when I get a chance.


Its time to get huge. Been eating around 3,500-4,000 calories a day. Training everyday on my days off, and every other day while on rotation.

If I recall correctly, the correlation between IQ and looks is around +0.4. That's meaningful.

i tried looking this up and the only major study supporting a positive correlation between looks and intelligence is the work done by satoshia kanawa. this is the same guy who had a letter written by around 70 other biologists saying his "bad science" doesn't represent evolutionary biology (his field)

http://www.slate.com/articles/healt...e_explainer_s_2011_question_of_the_year_.html

that link goes over some of the other research on it. the other 2 very minor studies were strange. here's an excerpt

" found no link between IQ and attractiveness among the boys, but a positive correlation for the girls. Another researcher, Leslie Zebrowitz of Brandeis University, noticed that the looks-smarts relationship applies only to the ugly side of the spectrum. It's not that beautiful people are especially smart, she says, so much as that ugly people are especially dumb."

lol. and i looked more into the kanazawa work. this article talks about it: https://www.nbr.co.nz/article/are-beautiful-people-more-intelligent-well-95969. excerpt:

"the general positive association holds for both sexes with “very attractive” women more intelligent than “very unattractive” women by about 6 IQ points on average. For “very attractive” men, they are more intelligent than “very unattractive” men by about 8 IQ points on average."

idk i've always noticed smart people as generally mediocre in looks. i visited the MIT campus and there was not one single person above a 6 lol. most of the legendary thinkers aren't lookers either meh. i have noticed however that ugly people tend to be dumb. thing is the smartest just tend to be super average in looks, but not exactly ugly.

MIT might be full of people who need to overcompensate for mediocre looks.

Further, it's full of Asians. Asians are considered less attractive than whites due to socially constructed beauty standards, not due to universal factors such as youth, facial symmetry, or waist-to-hip ratio

you said yourself scientists werent so good looking. if you dont mind you think you could wade through the research on IQ and hotness and private message me? i would look into it more but i'm afraid i'll commit suicide if its confirmed hot people tend to be smart.

thats the most depressing thing ever. someone better than you in all ways. honestly gets me down just thinking about it. THAT is the definition of hell. lolz. if girls had to deal with this pressure to be good enough like us guys do they would kill themselves

I can, but not today. Perhaps tomorrow. If I don't do it, feel free to remind me.

Well it appears my thesis was right. I kep this up for a few days and have accumulated lots of great matches on tinder, bumble, and Jswipe, more than I got in a month in Baltimore.

I don't know what it is. Why the f*** would i do better in LA? If anything I should do worse, as my looks are the same but the local population is substantially hotter. There are a lot of models, actors, and people who do a lot of sports. Lots of women whose profile pics are bikini shots.

I should be doing less well, but I'm in fact doing a lot better. I don't know why. I'm tempted to fly in semi regularly just to go out on many dates and maybe try and set something up long distance. If I'm more valuable here I might get a better match.

I am open to any reasonable suggestion which may explain my improved performance.

Because majority of LA NYC Miami women are not stupid or inexperienced about life.

There is this extremism on this site of 'looks' or 'gold diggers' and most women in very large cities fall somewhere in-between these two extremes. hot model and actor men are mostly struggling as bartenders and waiters...thats weak by the time you are 25.

that PHD is probably getting you into more search criteria in LA..
you would probably do well in NYC we actually have a lot of very hot jewish women in NYC

My failure at Tinder/Bumble continues. Zero matches in a couple months now. Yet I go out tonight and could have gotten laid by two different girls. Got laid by one who is around a 7.5 and there was another one (nearly an 8) who was eye f*****g me and smiling at me earlier, and as I was about to get the nerve up to go talk to her, some other dude starts dancing with her and ends up leaving with her 15 min later. I'm stuck in my head too much lol - should've pulled the trigger. I can't understand why I have good success in real life but literally ZERO on these apps. Bummer.

Anyone who is a 5 and above will get matches on tinder so long as they looksmatch their right swiping. You also need good photos and an ok profile. I do alright on tinder and I am not super handsome. I match lots of average women and I believe that anyone else can replicate these kind of results so long as they are of average looks and not a social idiot.

If you want tips on photos or anything then feel free to pm me

 

[Exodus2011]

david maybe its like theres so many hot women there that theres enough for everyone

the ghetto hole i grew up in was hard to even get weed in the first place. hardly any options

Ok.

And how many of these chicks did you end up actually f*****g?


Almost, none with the odd exception

Post real data, and field reports.


Cringe worthy how little experience people have around here. Excited on the prospect that a chick swiped them.

Where I am from we talk about getting laid, nothing inbetween

Nah, I'm fine.

I've slept with quite a lot of women. My problem is that I don't sleep with attractive women.

I've probably slept with 3 attractive women. 6-7 average women. And about 20 below average women.

Maybe i'm being cynical.

I was here for a few days and was very busy. I didn't have time to meet anybody.

Regardless I disagree with you, all things being equal the more desired person will get more matches, it correlates well.

Last night I sent @DoctorHouse conversations/pics and a actual field report from my last encounter last week. Nothing to see here.

BH is doing very well with the women now. I think this place gave him some inspiration to finally get back in the dating scene. His encounter was definitely with a very sexy woman who still can't stop thinking about BH. As a matter of fact, BH are you sure you really need this place anymore? Your hair is not standing in the way of your success obviously.
