The Importance Of Looks In Professional Life

[Afro_Vacancy]

I just spoke to my mother on the phone for 20 minutes.

Among my emotions, I felt sorry for my father that he was married to her for 37 years.

I know that back in the day when she used to call him, he'd sometimes just leave the phone on the table. He'd go back to it every few minutes and say "oui, OUI" (French for "yes, YES") and then put it aside for a few minutes and repeat. She would just keep talking by herself and not realize that he wasn't listening.

exactly why i chose an ivy league graduate school. i have heard of academic/intellectual riff raff getting in undergrad ivies through connections

i think you are off your rocker about pimpled off brand harry potter mathlete tho . i don't think he's THAT ugly but easy 4 imo. looks very dorky and weird.

i'm with cap all these (reasonably assumed to be) highly gifted are 4-6, very average. nooooo hotties tho

yes coping lmao

The Harry Potter guy looks to be above average but one caveat is I'm not sure how tall he is. He looks tall but he's standing next to midgets, he might not be tall. If he's 6'1 as he appears to be then he's comfortably above average.

What will you be studying and where?

Genetics are a b**ch.

I feel like if Ryan Reynolds wasn't a huge Hollywood star, he would be in the same range as his brothers, but his job is to look good and Hollywood stars are looks maxed as fk so it's an unfair comparison

Kinda feel like the photo of the kids and the evaluations of their looks here should be deleted.

One correction,

I respect Harvard medical school graduates,

But I don't think getting into Harvard college for undergraduate is such a great achievement. The signal-to-noise is lower, some people get in because they're amazing, a lot getting in due to luck, parents, etc.

I've known a few people who went. They're good, but they're not god.

The masses think highly of Harward college graduates.

Hedge funds think highly of IMO people.

Different levels

Hell no. I've been a fan of his from way back before he was a movie star. Two guys and a girl.

sorry but i dont think your aesthetic tastes are very representative

as for how hot smart people are:

damn it was panic inducing to look that up lol. extremely terrified of finding perfect specimens, those who are hot AND smart. only found one that really fit the criteria , brb working on forgetting her existence lmao

Not a single black/mexican.

Being attractive = prone to having others affirm your worth = less susceptibility to feelings of depression based on loneliness and reclusing to within oneself = more productivity

It really can be boiled down to this simple equation.

This occurred to me a while back after an extended discussion on this forum where pictures of a bunch of beautiful people were rated as "6.0 at best". I went on a large airplane flying out of Dallas that day, I think to LA. I walked by hundreds of people and noticed that not a single one out of those hundreds of people, on a major flight between major centers most of them with actual lives going on, was a 6.0 by the standards of this forum. It reminded me how some internet-based standards are sufficiently distorted as to be totally meaningless.

There's this horrible cope on this forum of black and white thinking: "I'm not a chad, therefore I'm invisible to women". And then there's the 2nd tier excuse: "I'm not a chad, therefore a woman will treat me like a betabux". Grow up guys, grow a pair - funnily enough, that will actually add a bit of an attractive quality to yourself. Third tier excuse: "that guy said 'just have confidence, bro'". Just f*****g do it.

They're giving up on life due to fear.

The benefit of not trying is that you don't need top face failure. I think that's why many people never try.

But rationally, most failures are not objectively harmful.

Educational opportunities, quality of available foods, and quality of social services are held down in minority neighborhoods in the USA.

Asians are not minorities in the US?

 

[Afro_Vacancy]

Asians are not minorities in the US?

Can you seriously not see the difference?

Asians are not persecuted by police. If an Asian 17 year-old smokes a joint he won't face ten years in jail, if he goes 5 mph above the speed limit he won't be executed by the police officer.

I have a relative who is an immigration lawyer. One of his clients has served a full-term in the military, and has live in the USA for decades, but now may be deported because the government employee that processed her 20 years ago didn't fill in forms correctly. Another one was recently in a detention centre, there the ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) officers routinely beat up the migrants, they humiliate the parents in front of their kids, they call them racist epithets like "guats", they don't let them use the bathrooms as they want them to poop in their pants, etc.

But yeah, if your name is Charles Wang and your parents immigrated here thirty years ago and were left alone to work 80 hours a week running a dry-cleaning shop while you studied hard in school, your situation is the same.

It's not the same, though don't worry Asians do in fact face some racism in the USA. It's just not as much as Hispanics and Blacks face.

What some posters on this forum don't realize is that Instagram models are not representative of reality. Within the real world almost everybody has multiple flaws.

This occurred to me a while back after an extended discussion on this forum where pictures of a bunch of beautiful people were rated as "6.0 at best". I went on a large airplane flying out of Dallas that day, I think to LA. I walked by hundreds of people and noticed that not a single one out of those hundreds of people, on a major flight between major centers most of them with actual lives going on, was a 6.0 by the standards of this forum. It reminded me how some internet-based standards are sufficiently distorted as to be totally meaningless.

It's not just this forum though bro

Just yesterday at work, one of my female coworkers (she's about a 7/10, early 20's), was showing instagram pics of chicks she knows to 3 of us dude's, asking "would you or wouldn't you." For literally every one we were like "would", and then she'd be like "what! she is so ugly!"....literally every one of them were 6-7/10. I was trying to explain that "ugly" to me means someone I am repulsed to look at, but I couldn't tell if it was going in one ear and right out the other

I can only imagine the kind of dudes she thinks she's entitled to. I even made a comment about this and she was like "well I do have high standards"

social media has disported perceptions 100%

As stated by other posters, the views on this forum can be extremely distorted (especially on other sites like Lookism too). As I have stated in some of my other posts, I am in a female dominated graduate program and half of the girls that would be considered "hot" here are dating guys that would be rated 6.5 max. I think that people here that other factors can increase a persons attractiveness (e.g., personality, job, etc). These same factors can also decrease a person's attractiveness. For example, the few posters I have shared my pictures with have told me that I'm "good looking" but my dating life is sh*t because of God awful personality.

There are definitely many factors. Although I veer much further toward the red pilled side, it is not all black and white. I am probably one of the better looking members here facially, probably about 7.5/10 facially (the members who have seen me could weigh in), I have a top 1% physique, about NW1.75 thanks to meds, and I am generally well liked by people. Granted I do have the 5'6.5" manlet thing going against me. Like you, I am around many 20 something females at school and work. None of them hit on me....well maybe one chick does get very touchy feely with me sometimes, although she has a boyfriend. 1 chick straight up came up to me and asked me out (I turned her down).....that kind of thing is very usual for me

Over the past year, I have asked out 3 women on dates. 2 of them said yes, one of these I hooked up with, but never saw her again, the other nothing happened because I decided I was not interested

Again, generally I do not get hit on. If I want something to happen, I have to take the risk and make the move. Although on paper I seem to have a lot of things going for me, and people who meet me seem to have the assumption that I am not someone who would struggle with the ladies, but this is not the case. I am not sure what the "it factor" is that gets dudes hit on and laid by desirable women on a regular basis, but I do not have it. Most likely if I was either 1 point higher in the face, or taller, that might do the trick

My cope: I'm just so gorgeous none of these women think they have a shot with me

Your situation literally sounds like mine; I usually end up going on dates with girls a couple times, hook up, then they "ghost" me (i.e., never talk to me again). I always rarely have girls approach me in person, but I have landed dates from girls contacting me first on social media.

JUST

It is scary and disheartening, how someone as good looking as you are, who is swimming in a sea of desirable women in your graduate program and has hundreds of tinder matches, has trouble building a connection.

I'm just a weirdo mate. I've been trying to cope by looksmaxing; I've been working out and following a strict skincare routine. I already dropped 10 lbs, if I drop 5-10 more I'll be happy.
