Well to clarify, you said she was not "model tier", and I would agree but only just barely. She could absolutely do some minor work if she's tall enough.

But she could definitely be any type of mid level model with a small nosejob. My point isn't that she needs a nosejob (if I was her I certainly wouldn't bother). I was just saying that she's far more beautiful in my opinion than you are giving her credit for. Her harmony is to my taste exceptional.

I really enjoy looking at her face which is usually the best sign of good harmony.

To me, she looks like a teenage boy in the first video and in that picture.

It's interesting how our brains have different types :)

Most girls look like teenage boys when they don't have much makeup.

Kendall Jenner in my opinion has one of the best structured faces of any women on the planet. It's not even about attractiveness. It's just what I would consider almost perfectly ideal.

Here she is naturally:

And here she is with makeup:

It's a similar phenomenon I think.

Calchas posted a video of that girl with more conventionally feminine makeup on and she looks like any typical Euro daytime soap opera star actress when she's done up.

Makeup largely = femininity.

I got two dates for this weekend but they're probably going to be canceled. One of them is ok-looking and younger than me, the other is hot and older than me, so I'm less enthusiastic about her. I'm talking to a few other women but am not really enthused. I actually ... have a lot going on professionally right now and can't be bothered. I cancelled a date to go see a wrinkle in time last week to work on something, it was important.

I'm trying to grow a beard, and separately, I went to my hairdresser today. She went on several times about how she liked my shirt, my shoes, and that the hair on the side of my head seemed darker. She said that she could polish my beard and give it a better shape by removing the thin parts. Afterwards she took some photos of me to add to her instagram, she's a hairdresser so she likes taking pictures of her clients. Behold ! Compensatory beard game:

It's fine. My two dating threads last year reached a combined 600 pages. People went far off-topic.


It's important to be skeptical of anonymous men on the internet posting anything in the neighborhood of "she's not that hot". It's a weird thing online, it's not true of all men but true of many, that we often downplay the beauty of various women. It's partially "internet tough guy" syndrome, and partially the fact that when we are only we're saturated with images of beautiful women. We recently had people here claiming that Jeff Bezos and his wife are looks-matched.

I think that a lot of people are in for a wake up call if they go to some downtown area of any major city, sit on a bench and just look at the average person. We forget how plain, flawed, etc. the median person out there can be. Beauty is not the norm, it cannot be the norm by definition.

A while back a poster here was rating this and that woman as 5.75/10, etc. I got on an airplane that day at the Dallas Forth Worth airport, a major flight and I walked by what must have been hundreds of people. I realized that not a single one of them would be 7+/10 according to the standards of some on this forum. That's several hundred people, spanning the middle and upper-middle classes, who were uniformly undesirable according to the internet experts. That's an indictment of the internet experts.

That woman is definitely beautiful. I can't tell you if she's top 2% or top 4%, but she's up there. She's not below the standards of any men here, most likely she would turn down every man here as she already has multiple options. Most likely we would not even make it to a position where we could ask her out.

Looking good there Afro!

She's the tallest of all the other girls,so,yes she's tall.

I just said that i would fall head over heels for her,what more credit do you want from that?:)

Her face really sooths my soul.
She also seems shy and awkward.
Check at 3:30 in the video in my previous post...Her anxiety and nervousness have made her sweaty and the chef asks her:''Are you getting sweaty?''...And she's like:''Ehh...I have....Yes...I have become really warm''....God!!! So cute!!!
f***, stop it, I‘m falling for her as well!
But seriously, I know what my friends would say: so typical. Young/innocent/sweet looking, pretty face, that shy way she has about her...(I really don‘t find loud, boisterus females attractive) - but dude, you are 36 (and bald), look at women 30 upwards. And ofc they are right.

At 26 and given the chance though, why not give it a try. Although one must always consider that the shy behaviour may create a misleading sense of attainabilty that my add to the attraction.

As regards the instagram girl from the video with that nose piercing, I would not be nervous at all approaching, while I‘d treat the Greek girl like porcelain. Maybe I do make mistakes with girls I find pretty.;)

It's 4-5 points looks mismatch actually...
I'm frustrated and angry to myself when i see 4-5 rated men (WITH OR WITHOUT HAIR), having 8-9 rated girlfriends and i'm insecure at approaching an 8.
Yep I'm frustrated too. I mean, how this obvious points differential is allowed is what I wanna know.
It's just not right!

When I was in Bucarest (horrible city generally) and out in a bar, I had an interesting conversation with two girls, after one of them called me „pretty boy“. The gist of it was: despite being several leagues above me, they both maintained a very healthy, man-favouring, generous approach when „rating“ men‘s looks. They see them on a different scale than women‘s, i.e. a male 8 does not have to appear as handsome as the female 8 is beautiful to get the same rating. It refreshingly contrasted the standards here where only women judge the opposite gender as harshly as I do.
What I‘m also trying to say: I like those gaps, I love seeing them in favour of men, I‘m happy for any men who pulls it of, especially when I consider him uglier than myself.;) And in particular when I were to notice a mindset as described above, I‘d still feel comfortable, meaning not anxious to lose her etc..

I could fall head over heels for a girl like her for example.
She's not a top model tier girl,but there's something absolutely irresistable about her.
What's your opinion guys?...Do you think that such a girl could fall for me?


@Afro_Vacancy Sorry for the hijacking:)
She's a hottie! Would date in an instant.

She‘s amazing. And it‘s so obvious from the first video that she has the potential to look like in the second vid, whereas some men still need the second vid to realize it. That is so not the case for the pierced girl, but I have to be careful: I‘ve been accused of objective-truth-claiming-tendencies with regard to beauty in real life, so let‘s just agree that she is - while still above average - not my cup of tea at all.

Lol...I'm not 36...I'm 33 but people IRL think i'm in my early 20s.
I don't have much success with girls my age.
In contrary, i get approached by younger girls(18-25)and they tell me that i have a baby-face and compliment my eyes.
That's the reason i guess.
f***, stop it, I‘m falling for her as well!
Hands down man!...She's mine.;)

I was referring to what they'd tell ME:

I'll leave her to you, you discovered her and have better chances anyways. ;) Don't know what you look like, but I'd give a frank assessment of the looks-balance if I did, but judging by the verbal feedback (and signals?) you get from the younger girls, she may well be within reach, at least theoretically.

That girl is in my opinion one nose job away from being a minor pop star or Disney actress.

So to answer your question, statistically speaking, it's improbable. There aren't that many girls with that degree of facial harmony and femininity.

Keep in mind I don't know what you look like so I'm not saying this as a slam against you personally. I'm just saying that thinking this girl is "attainable" because she's not drenched in makeup and has one slight facial flaw is not being realistic.

If you lined up a pro photo of her face against 100 other girls she'd be top 5% with no effort. With a subtle nose job to refine the tip of her nose and makeup, she'd be top 1%. She might even be top 1% just with makeup.

Her facial fundamentals are great. Very neotenous as well and in her prime years.
I guess this is a typical situation where the argument "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" makes sense. I don't find her that amazing, although she has no noticeable flaw, I really don't find anything special about her. I don't see what' s wrong with her nose though lol. I mean she is one of those typical good-looking girls you don't find attractive , yeah, I guess it's a matter of taste
