I feel that many users here are misinformed as to how looks and personality relate to one another, especially in a dating context.

I have read comments like 'looks is 90%, personality is 10%', or 'personality is cope'.

The truth is, being an attractive, successful man in modern society is neither a pure art or science. To try and reduce it to percentages (in this way) is as misguided as adopting the 'looks don't matter bro!' paradigm.

Let me begin by stating that looks are hugely important, and that the higher PSL you are, the easier, and better your life will be.

However, I feel many fail to grasp the context-dependant importance of personality.

Personality begins to hold huge importance once you pass the looks threshold of who you're interacting with, and in what manner you're interacting with them.

For example:

  • If you are bottom 5% SMV, and/or you dress poorly and have bad hygiene, you will receive poor treatment from that vast majority of individuals.
  • If you are average SMV, dress well and have good hygiene, you will receive good treatment from the majority of individuals.

Let's now take this average SMV individual (we will call him x) and place them him into different contexts.

M01 32 gr


I know opinion will vary on whether this is 'average', but please bear with me for argument's sake.

Definitions:

Unattractively - shy, submissive, weird and awkward
Attractively - outgoing, assertive, cool and funny

With 6.5+ PSL female

  • If he acts unattractively, she will be repelled by him.
  • If he acts attractively, she will enjoy his company. It is unlikely (though not impossible) that she will seriously consider him as a romantic option, but it is possible she will want to hang out with him more in a friendship capacity. This will boost his status, and give him access to more social events, and her more attainable friends.
With average female

  • If he acts unattractively, she will feel neutral/negative about him.
  • If he acts attractively she will likely find him attractive/consider him as a romantic option. The burden will then be on him (in most cases) to make a move.

If you are below average, then (unfortunately) there is a slightly different set of rules. People will be less accepting of you acting attractively (as detailed above).

The solution is to:

  • Try your best to get to average (at which point you should forever continue Looksmaxing, but consider that your behaviour will have much more of an impact on how people treat you).
  • If you know you will never get to average, commit yourself to becoming an expert in a chosen field.

Jack Ma can behave how he likes - people will always treat him well, because they know that (beyond subconscious behavioural shifts that take place in the presence of high status), should he take a liking to them, their lives will change forever.

Best Wishes To All.

Although ideally you want to combine the best aspects of both personality type - energetic and confident without being exhausting, detached and relaxed without being boring.

It's all looks. Personality was a fairytale I believed when I was a kid and/or incel.

Attraction is 100% looks to be a "yes" or "no".

Then non-aspie personality then.

'Looks don't matter' is certainly a fairytale.

In saying that looks account for 100% of attraction you have to concede that vocal tonality, status and body language don't matter at all. This is far-fetched to me.

How has your dating life been since you adopted your current philosophy?

If the dating market looks like the women that want to meet me online..I am just going to go with Escorts I am 43 and a decent looking..I am just not into bars and crowds..I am thinking about getting some pro-photos that may help online

Definitely get pro photos.

My understanding of the online dating market for older men is that it is terrible - with a lot of younger women expecting some Sugar Daddy type arrangement.

Once society opens back up, I think the escort money would be better spent on getting a fashion consultant, and going to high-end venues (the more exclusive, the less crowded/rowdy) to meet people.

Any strategy that immediately 'solves' your issue with money (in your case, paying for female companionship) comes with many risks. But that's your decision.

Best.

When people say personality, what they really mean is status

Yeah those things do nothing at all (apart from status when you're like a celeb or some shit), just can be offputting if below normal... Won't create attraction or anything like that when there is none at all, because attraction is looks.

I'm fine 'cause I'm relatively attractive.

.
to add. above behavior traits, one might also to an extend devlop or not, because of ones lebel of attractiveness.

some study quote.
"In conclusion, we found substantial behavioral and trait differences as a function of attractiveness.
For both adults and children,
attractiveness is strongly related to popularity, and to success for adults.
Attractiveness is moderately related to both intelligence/ performance and adjustment in children and to both dating and sexual experience in adults. "

One can check in the grpah under BESD. how much attractiveness realtes to these factors.
