Are there any situations where a person with great LMS can be unpopular because of "poor" social skills, and are there situations where a person with low LMS can be popular because of his "good" social skills? What the fuck are social skills even?

Social skills are essentially your skill in larping and establishing trust and using the right words and facial expressions to bring someone to your side, a psychopath would have really good social skills. It's a way of gaining LMS.

Social skills revolve around verbal communication. How effectively one manages to communicate in a manner that pleases the most amount of people and simultaneously benefit from their words is what social skills seem to be.

Social Intelligence is more about being street smart + knowing how to read others, not how your social skills are. Incels have more social intelligence than most women and normies
No, incels have very shit social intelligence.

But doesn't status and looks massively influence how your words are received anyway? Consider how often people will try to shoot somebody's arguments down by attacking them for their status or looks. "Oh, but why should I listen to some fat hobo? Oh! But Paul is just a fat ugly loser!"

And it's true the other way around as well. Of often will normies laugh at something insofar as it comes from a good looking high status person, even if they would have found it offensive otherwise? Most people don't care about what is being said. They care about FROM WHOM it is being said.

LMS > Actual content of your words

Jfl this is just a yet another blackpill that shows that social popularity has almost nothing to do with intelligence.
This is very true ngl, the popular kids are usually drugged up high teir normies with low inhibition. I think after 100 iq it increases your inhibition and makes you start to overthink shit.

I think there’s two types of social intelligence

Knowing how others act in social situations
Knowing how to act in social situations for ur best interest

Incels are great at the first one by horrible at the second

It's observable irl too. CAUGHT ON CAM: Bolivian University Students Fall to Death After Railing Collapses - YouTube
Do you think an incel (self-aware one) would really be there in the back of a big crowd like that?

"Social skills" and "personality" have NEVER been defined once.

its all looks

looks is all that ever mattered

except fangirls and soyboys like this
Well, she's a woman, they can't lose, as long as they aren't hideous looking, they will always have some simps at their feet, even if they are obnoxious, mean, rude, etc., but they limit their opportunities and could have much more if they were nice and pleasant instead...
Also for actors/actresses it's not a good idea to be obnoxious and act like divas, it could affect their career, they could lose fans, and if they make even one box-office flop, the whole world can turn against them and the producers and directors will be more than glad to drop them, they have no reason to work with them anymore.

Even with looks, money and status if you are obnoxious it can work against you, Brie Larson is an example, she's hated by many people.

But does this supposed hate negatively impact her? Does she have a reason to care that some strangers hate on her on the internet, when she probably has an army of cucks worshiping her in her daily life?

Even guys like Trump are like this. He's hated by the media and yet if he wanted to he could probably easily surround himself with hot women and other Trump supporters that would suck his dick all day. When somebody is famous/rich that person will have haters, but in practice that makes no real difference for them.

yeah, there's all kinds of different intelligences. social, spatial, logical-mathematical. just like how being intelligent in a logical-mathematical way will allow you to more quickly understand math and get you the "correct" answer to an equation, so does having social intelligence allow one to understand cues, interact socially, and receive the desired/"correct" response from others. really intelligence is how well you succeed in an area, and success usually just means ability to be right or get what is most beneficial to you in a situation.

So what would the behavior of an ugly person with high social intelligence look like?

He would easily realize most people don't like him and don't take him seriously based on something he has little control over, his looks. So he would socially isolate himself and instead interact with people through the internet where he quickly realizes he doesn't face a looks penalty in social interaction.

Aka, incels are high in social intelligence. While bluepilled ugly people that try to fit in are not.

there were ugly fat dudes i knew in school that ended up becoming very popular, probably because they were funny and easy to talk to. obviously most of the ugly people were outcasts and most of the good looking people were popular but there were ugly guys who clearly were low inhib and made lots of friends and people liked them. maybe you will think this is "bluepilled" or whatever, but looks can be overcome in the sense that you can become popular and well liked if people like being around you and you're a cool guy in general.

understandable, its rare. most people who are ugly are aware of it, know its a bad thing to be, and thus become super high inhib. but in my highschool there was a small handful of these sort of ugly/short/fat guys who had absolutely 0 inhib, made everyone laugh, everybody knew them, and had girlfriends. it was weird. the chads didn't have to try or do anything of course, but i mean it did happen
