Relatively socially aware guy here, those videos are all fake.
But my point remains true, men who can't reach the top 20% when it comes to looks looks (and I include height in looks as in tangible characteristic) are fucked if they want to pursue a genuine and solid relationship.
There's a certain effortlessness in my current relationship that's provided by my looks and height. Of course I still need to be attentive, to learn not to be a dick to her, to have my sh*t together etc. But I'm never feeling like I'm fighting an uphill battle to keep her interested.
And as I've said before, physical attraction is the real cornerstone of a romantic relationship, it's what's left when everything else goes to sh*t, and with the stress of your respective daily lives, the burden of rising children, the tragedies of life, you can be sure that it's coming, it's very hard for to couple not to end up being at each other's throat when it becomes all too much, and I believe genuine physical attraction will be the safety net that will save your relationships during those harsh times.
The guys who have it backwards, who think they can make up for their lack of looks, height or hair by working on themselves, by increasing their status, by learning the Venusian Arts (
@shookwun ), those are the guys who will get destroyed when those difficult times come. I've always known this intuitively, when I witness a harsh divorce happening around me, the guy's almost always an overweight balding beta male. To the point that you completely understand why his wife is running away from him with a look of disgust on her face.
