Here is a very interesting video on looksmatching and attraction that is actually supported by an academic study. Its well worth a watch If you have a spare 5 minutes.

Feel bad for that guy. Seriously, makes me want to shut up and stop my complaining.

Originally thought that was a Wonder Women movie review (Dr. Poison). That said, I have to say this (don't know why).
Gal Gardot is my FAVORITE LESBIAN!!

Its interesting how his injury made him reconsider the relationship between looks and attraction. Its something a lot of people never consider - either because they are decent looking or because they have swallowed the blue pill.

It is. I feel bad for the guy, I really do. Maybe I should take that Dr. Poison comment back?

That said, Gal Gardot IS REALLY MY FAVORITE LESBIAN/CARPET MUNCHER. After seeing Wonder Women, I kind of had to relieve myself in the men's room. (Won't go into details about that).

I'm fantasizing about Gal Gardot and Venassa Williams. That's right, I want Venassa Williams to become a hateful AMAZON LESBIAN b**ch QUEEN!

The guy in the video mentions a couple of interesting points:-
  • below-average and average looking people date below-average and average looking people (because that's all they can get) but there's a possibility they can end up being resentful about that limitation
  • below-average looking people have a "cope" in that they say "hey there's more to life than looks - there's humour, intelligence etc" - while this is obvious, I take his point in that they really use this as a cope as to their decision to choose a below-average looking partner

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Now I just need to ask you one question: Do you wear a tin foil hat?

I was forcefed a bucketful of red pills at aged 13 when I was bullied at school - I spontaneously broke out in horrendous acne at that age, my hair went horribly greasy and I just look a complete mess. I had started a new school, and kids would literally point and laugh - within 10 minutes of joining the school, I learned so much about life. And after that short burst of learning, really....I have realised there's not much else to know about life.

Depression kicked in, and of course, that made me an even bigger target - nothing worse than having no confidence at school. This was 1985, and it's when I really got into The Smiths...Meat is Murder had been released and The Headmaster Ritual was my soundtrack to my depression (little reference to JohnsonDDG's avatar there).

Over the years I've been building up my collection of tin foil hats. I really started getting into this accessory from around September 2001. I think the red pill diet compliments this kind of attire. Red pill for social, tin foil hat for politics and economics.

So basically all of the studies this guy did (based on hot or not, mind you) reveal this incredible truth:

- hot people prefer hot people
- average people prefer hot people but learn to cope

Who would have ever thought of that! :rolleyes:

Yeah, it's hardly a ground-breaking finding. The older I get, the more I realise there's actually a lot less to life than I thought there would be.

I know, how is this even interesting?

Especially with online dating/judging and a site like Hot or Not.

It is a difficult topic.

We humans tend to forget we evolved from animals too short ago to say we are really "different".

I think this is why we figure angels as "sexless". To be really evolved, and "closer to God", one should forget the ironies and pettiness of animal attraction.

We don't need studies but some people do, apparently.

Exactly. What's interesting is not the conclusion reached, but rather that people need to be told it at all.

Yesterday, I was at a family dinner and somehow we got on the topic of hot female celebrities. Someone said to my 12-year-old cousin "Hey, what's a cute young singer or something?" and he said "None. It's what's on the inside that makes them beautiful!"

A conditioned response, no doubt. It is something that we teach to children that "looks do not matter", but it defies human sexual behaviors completely. As such, we grow up actively believing and preaching something that contradicts our subconscious actions.

This kid will come around in a few years, since his dad made all the women wet back in the day and I have zero doubt his boys will slay when they're older. My uncle was like a cross between Full House era Stamos and 90s Johnny Depp when he was my age.

We look kinda similar, but he inherited the "I have f*****g awesome hair at age 40 and probably always will" genes like the rest of my family. :(

I needed to be told it.

When I was growing up I was blue-pilled and a white-knight and I truly believed that women wanted a nice guy. When I was 19 I was still a virgin and all my friends who were cocky and sometimes dicks with women often got laid the most.

I know its not popular here, but I discovered pick up and I learnt that women like certain male characteristics that I didn't really possess, and so I spent years cultivating them and suddenly found myself with women.

At the time I was ignorant of my looks and its great help that it gave me when meeting women. I had uglier friends who did pick up who only got 2 or 3 lays a year, despite going out two nights a week.

This forum opened my eyes to looksmatching and the importance of appearance in terms of attraction.

Now I fall somewhere in the middle - being a 7 out of 10 nice guy who is shy will not get laid very often. It would actually be better to be a 6 out of 10 guy who is successful and bold then the latter.

Anyway, looks matter but so does many other factors.

It took me over a decade of learning to even come to this simple conclusion, but I needed to learn it or I would have been a virgin at 30.
