Bro, ill try to be kind, but you sound like you lost your virginity yesterday. You have practically zero clue how an average women thinks. Get back to us once you had a meaningful relationship that lasts longer than a tampon.
Only a few guys in this thread actually do know how an AVERAGE woman thinks, most of the commenters seem to be in long-term relatioship for 10years, completely oblivious about the dating app era realities. I've had a long one which ended 1.5y ago, and I'm not looking to get into another soon.
There is zero consistency between them. Any man Min/Maxing looks for the sake of attraction is wasting their time. Just be clean, get smart asap, and make money
The guy literally posted 2 studies which clearly show consistency that they've found.
For instance the dude you have in that pic; My wife would find him too feminine/gay. My sister would think nothing of him until he opened his mouth and then good luck because she is a high achiever. My 23yo sister-in-law loves the hispanic look, piercings and tatooes BUT is repulsed by 20 something men.
Not my pic but I can tell you that you never ask a fish how to fish.
Give them a choice of a funny fat guy some of you seem to love, put him against the hispanic guy and 95%+ of the time the hispanic is going to win.
Dont get me wrong, im sure he attracts a percent of women but the point is, the bar is so wide, you wont know where min starts and when max ends.
Sure, that's why, apart from extremes of looksmaxxing, most guys are referring to a moderate approach which improves your looks and every other aspect of your life.
It's the same basic stuff 90% of meso is doing already with the "gay" approach to facial features. That way, you're not min-maxing with meth but rather staying close to the high end of the range, the top 20% most attractive.
Looksmaxxing is made fun of around here because older guys know its an exersice in futility. You are wasting your time. Time better spent reading a book.
Counterpoint is that it doesn't take much time for the impressive benefits that it brings. While every other aspect mentioned, like social skills, career, hobbies are already part of your whole life, and looksmaxxing is only going to supercharge those other aspects.
There is nothing wrong with being fit but ask women what they think of a guy who takes it too far...
The main issue is that they'll tell you what they expect from a guy apart from looks because the looks aspect is already in their mind as a default state, they think what they'd want the attractive guy to do, not what they want from a fat funny guy.
do you think they want a man who does as much as they do? Hint: no. Ask around. My wife put it in a funny way. "To a women, this is like dating another woman."
The sad reality is that they say this but do the opposite. I'd love everyone to have the same success as top20% of men are having, but it will never be a reality.
Overall, I'm convinced that completely disregarding these simple, observable and clearly obvious points is some kind of coping mechanism or ignorance due to already being above average, I really don't know how anything else would be possible.
