I think you may be in denial to the importance of your good looks. I'm glad you mentioned Tinder as I'm a bit of an old hat on the app and can counter your nonsense with real authority. I have had a number of profiles over the last year or so, some using older photos of myself pre-NW6, others with my hairline as it is now, some with pictures of male models, some with female models and swiped pics of attractive girls and boys that I knew in real life. I wanted to see for myself the impact that looks had in online dating compared to personality, whether 'online game' has any impact or whether its all just predetermined from the photos. You want to know what I concluded? Its the f*****g photos man! The results were something like follows: NW2/3 me (flattering photos), roughly 15-20 matches in a couple of days, a match rate of something around 15%. NW6 me got 2, both landwhales, and I actually swiped slightly more girls right on the NW6 account than I did on the NW2.5. The models, as you can imagine, cleaned up. It was actually quite depressing. The dude was pushing 100 matches, the match rate was easily 80%+, while the model girl was even more succesful, I don't think even a single guy I swiped right rejected her. Most depressing though were the results of the real-life attractive acquaintances. Whilst nowhere near on the model level, the attractive guy secured an easy 50-60 matches (he was probably around an 8 in terms of rating). The attractive everyday girl (who is actually also a model so potentially unrepresentative) secured around 100, many of them highly attractive suitors in their own right.
These stats are crushing, but they're far from the most discouraging thing I witnessed in these experiments. That came when I begun to arrange fake dates. The "game" aspect, as you would call it. I deliberately modulated my "game" significantly between matches. For some, I would genuinely go out of my way to try and screw things up, pretending to be socially awkward, a virgin, thick as a plank of wood. Whilst I would be lying if I said that my severe lack of game made no difference, it was incredibly difficult to mess things up with the attractive profiles. The model girl, in particular, could do no f*****g wrong. Several times I outrighted insulted a number of matches, to which they would only grovel and lust after her all the more. With the exception of outright rejecting them, I could say anything and still get in their pants. With NW2/3 me though, it was a different story, poor game was crucified by and large, but interestingly, 'good game' didn't actually do a whole lot for me either. A lot of girls were still on the fence, no matter how slick my conversation. The experience with the attractive acquaintances was, as you'd expect, half way between the models' and mine. Bad game could certainly still blow things, but in terms of securing a date, it was much more a matter of not doing anything drastically wrong than actively doing things right.
Possibly the most damning bit of evidence from this whole thing though came when the NW2/3 me matched with the same girl as the male model profile. She was a 5/6 out of 10, nothing amazing, but cute nonetheless. I used almost the exact same chat up line to open the conversation with each profile, a variant of "I bet I can make you c*m with my hands tied behind my back". The NW2.5 was unmatched within seconds, the male model got "go onnnn
".
I imagine you're going to pour scorn on this, accuse me of BS or something similar. I understand your skepticism. I saw a similar experiement to mine on a bodybuilding website and I reacted exactly the same. So I tested it out for myself and lo and behold, they were right. I'd encourage you and others to do the same. Create a few fake profiles yourself and prepare to be red-pilled to the eyeballs.
