I could uniorinically have a taper if I lost my love handles and trained abs. I looked in the mirror today and realized I'm the planed ive ever been in my life. I'm 18% bf which is not lean but I plan to be 15% by December. I just want the hope that the v taper can happen

Yeah love handles and fat distribution are influenced by genetics and some people will have fat in their love handle area even sub 15% body fat. But then again, that’s only some, the average person will lose fat around their love handles pretty late into the cut. Its also dependant on hormones like testosterone and cortisol

Bottom line, u don’t know ur genetics until u actually try and get to 12%ish body fat. Also make sure ur testosterone is high and ur cortisol is low, many ways to do that naturally.

Ur right, ur only choice is to just lean down and optimize everything and make an analysis then. Rn, ur stuck in the trapping thinking if leaning down is worth it. Please don’t question it whatsoever and lean down

You think having less bone, and having a think waist is not dysgenic?
Have you seen Laid's power :lul::

You have a woman's brain
They also ignorantly assume that the one who gets more validation from fitting societal beauty standards is automatically superior
 
some of us have to learn the hard way 😢
nah I deadass have no clue what ur saying. My main point is that u should lean down anyway regardless of ur hip bone since that’s the only thing u can do for a better shoulder to hip ratio

Of course everything matters
But I'd go so far to even say that waist matters more than shoulders

As in, if I could only pick one and I knew I was going to get into a physical altercation, I'd pick waist

That's fine.
You and I have different priorities.

But let me ask you something.
Do you know what your rating in society means? When somebody says you are a Chad (for appeal), it means you are say arbitrarily 95% of women's subjective type.
But you are not 5%. Those 5% are not necessarily ugly, and they would like a guy who's more their type, who isn't that specific Chad.
An average HTN might be 80% of women's subjective types.
And so on...
Your looks are the probability for success.

You can attract a girl as a subLTN. And this girl doesnt have to be subLTB. Of course its a higher chance she will be, but best way to put it is: every subLTN in your city has a Stacy of his race, who is open to dating him, because he is subjectively her type.

All of this is to say..
After you have secured a girl, that pretty much EVERY guy can do (for some will be more difficult), there is no need wanting to chase validation from other girls.

No point in trying to be good looking.
Blackpill is cope.
It's a validation mindset, that's how women act. Modern women crave validation even when they are in a relationship, from strangers. Which is why they'll wear good clothes to impress others and rarely their partner.

But thats partially due to their evolution. You as a man should only care for validation from your girl
Beyond that, which every guy can achieve, your strength and power is what truly mogs
No need to care about looks.. other than if your livelihood depends on you being a lot of women's subjective type, like celebrities/actors/models.. David Laid has different priorities to 99% of guys who don't need validation

Most ufc fighters don't have love handles
That's because most aren't heavyweights, so they are always lean to weight cut
Also pride fc had pretty much no weight restriction so fedor always fought fat

Looks also help to mog dudes. I'm not talking about prettiness. But I'd be way more scared of a guy with a developed face than one with jaw recession

you are scared because you have been led to believe that the one who is competent is the one who looks better/ more facially developed

But think intuitively for a second

What do you think matters more?
Face or body, when it comes to physical success in evolution?
It is body by a LANDSLIDE

From the spears we would throw and the power + range you can throw to kill enemies, to you wont starve if can hunt with your body throwing spears, to advantages of reach (whoever throws the first punch tends to always win the fight), to reaction time, to generating more power in your punches/kicks from stockier builds

It's just places like this site, but also society in general, limits everybody to their face, because we can in the comforts of a society
In reality, body is 95-99% and face is 1-5%

In all honesty, mind/intelligence trumps everything.
But anyways, watch this video of forward grown ripped Chad vs this recessed fat guy, who looks like he just got out of bed:
 
Holy cope

You didn't refute any of my points

Listing technical terms is just showing me youre an immature kid who is taking this personally, because you're prioritising "winning" over exchanging ideas

Some people have small hips under love handles though, it distorts the frame.


Then again you can pull back the fat and see if it’s bone, unless you’re very obese in which case it’s over regardless

When you grow up fat you usually get big hips tbh. This is what I’ve noticed.

Kino grew up fat and even though he’s very low fat and muscular, he still has bad hip tapering

This is why I said it’s over if you get fat during puberty but forum members chimped out over such a basic statement.
meanwhile chad who remained lean during puberty:
