In today’s world where almost every social interaction starts with a glance. The reason women (and people in general) respond positively to someone is often not just because of actual ability, or “personality”, but because the brain makes a fast perception judgment that creates a halo. Likewise, negative traits create a failo that biases everything else people think about you before you speak or act.
In psychology, it’s called the “halo effect” (In psychology, they use the word effect because they think it is a mistake. They think your brain is lying to you. But I say it is not a mistake. The brain is just reading the truth.)
Originally identified by Edward Thorndike in 1920.
This effect describes how a single favorable characteristic causes people to assume many other unrelated positive traits about someone. Thorndike found that ratings across traits like intelligence, height, attractiveness were correlated way higher than they should be, purely because of people’s general impressions.
In everyday social life, the “best” halo for almost everyone is physical attractiveness. When someone is seen as visually attractive, observers regularly assume they are more"confident", more competent, and even more moral.
TL: DR
Psychologists call this the “what is beautiful is good” stereotype, meaning your face and body alone cause people to infer positive things that weren’t stated and might not even be true.

Psychologists use the word “effect” because they think the brain is biased like it’s making an error. This is where many people misinterpret what actually is adaptive in the human brain. Everyone knows our brains make quick judgments, but it doesn’t mean the signals/assumptions are incorrect/irrelevant. Evolutionary, humans developed to assess health, status, and value quickly because our ancestors didn’t have time for long deliberations before deciding who to trust, mate with, or avoid. This applies to the physical halo’s therefore your brain will naturally pick up on those signals.

Height (humans subconsciously associate size with dominance/status/protection.)
Big dick (Size is subconsciously linked to masculinity)
High rated face (Usually htn+ for the most part at least.)
Voice <--80hz
(Part of the first impression halo, decent indicator of social dominance. Could be considered the little cherry on top.)
*Physique/frame* (such as ratios and insertions: biacromial width to iliac crest width ratio > 1.5 rib cage width to iliac crest width ratio >= 1 bidelt at least 20" untrained no asymmetries small joints, big bones round shark rib cage except for certain exceptions for/with long blocky insertions.

The failo is the opposite of the halo, it’s usually described as the “horn effect” in academia, but we obviously call it failo. People see one negative thing and apply a negative bias to everything else.
Falio's are pretty much the same list as Halo's only in a negative manner.
Aging ( the older you are, the smaller the prize pool is. Assuming you don't have access to a flood of money)
Height ---- -6'>(no one likes a manlet for obvious reasons, seen as genetically inferior which is correct logically and biologically speaking.) This is the common "cuck" zone.
Attractiveness/face (ipd, maxillary development, gonial, esr, bigonial/bizygo, angularity, dimo. The list goes on. (makes or breaks your life, look in the mirror and be glad you don't have deformities. Being good looking ("gl") will open new opportunities mainly in social/dating life but it definitely scales into work if you look good enough eg modeling.

This will immediately trigger negative assumptions prior to any conversation. In experiments and real life observation, people assume unattractive or disheveled individuals are less competent, less intelligent, and immoral than they actually are.

“Pheno” comes from phenotype, a biological term referring to the observable characteristics of organisms.

Height

Morphology is how the body is built and what it looks like physically, things like shoulder width, ribcage shape, waist ratio, limb length, clavicle length, muscle insertions. These decide whether your body will be preforming athletically, imposingly, aesthetically, or fragile/twink (which is the case for most).
