Hopeful(for some of you and why ethnics have it worse)

Blackpills lowk been bothering me for a bit, yes ik that looks are important but i continue to see mtns get htbs even when around better looking guys. This thread isnt denying the black pill but revising it in my opinion. This is also not a racist thread just facts and showing the harsh reality. This might be water for a lot but Ik a lot of new gens on this site so this is mainly for them.

1. Looks are a brutal filter. High aesthetics get you instant eyes—80% of foids swipe right on the top 20% of guys, per a 2018 Tinder study. A 2017 Journal of Personality and Social Psychology study says physical attractiveness runs first impressions, especially for women judging men. Sub-5? You’re done. But I see balding, normie-faced white dudes with 7/10 gfs. They’re maxxing something else to offset their mid SMV.
2. Personality can mog face in the long game, but you gotta clear the looks gate. I’ve seen scrawny 4/10 white retards keep chicks hooked with sharp wit or based energy, while better-looking ethnics get filtered for being tryhard or culturally off. A 2019 Evolutionary Psychology study found women rank humor (β=0.61) and emotional stability (β=0.58) above looks (β=0.42) for long-term partners after initial attraction. Face gets you in; personality keeps you there.
3. Status is a act decent. A white dude with a decent gig or social juice pulls harder than a broke ethnic with a carved jaw. Know an avg-looking white sped who’s a promoter—dude’s drowning in white chicks. A 2021 Social Forces study showed socioeconomic status (SES) predicts mate success (R²=0.45) more than looks (R²=0.28). High SES can offset mid aesthetics, but ethnics get cucked by culture.
4. Emotional game’s a clutch move. Girls want dudes who listen and build trust. A 5/10 retard who makes her feel valued mogs an 6/10 subhuman flexing face. A 2017 Personal Relationships study found emotional responsiveness predicts relationship satisfaction (β=0.67) more than attractiveness (β=0.39). Normie lean on this to close.
5. Aesthetics fade, value lasts. foids know a 6/10 dude who’s loyal and handles business beats a broke sped 7/10 . I see mid-tier retards with steady gfs ‘cause they deliver consistency. A 2022 Archives of Sexual Behavior study across 40 cultures found women prioritize dependability (β=0.72) over looks (β=0.41) for long-term mates.
6. Numbers game is grim but real. Mid white dudes with decent chicks are spamming approaches. A 2020 Computers in Human Behavior study found guys who send 3+ messages/day online get 2.3x more replies, even with mid looks. High aesthetics cut the grind, but normies brute-force it. Ethnics need triple the reps due to bias.
7. Girls standards are high but not blackpill retarded. They don’t need a 6’4” god—just a 6/10 white dude who’s got his shit straight. Ethnics get filtered by stereotypes or cultural disconnect. A 2019 OKCupid analysis showed white men get 1.8x higher response rates than non-white men with similar aesthetics. Racepill’s a bitch.
8. Self-improvement can mog looks-obsession, but it’s a slow ash. Gym, clean fits, game—you control that. A 2023 Journal of Social and Personal Relationships study found men who grind self-development (fitness, social skills) report 2.1x higher dating success. Sub-5s are still fucked, though.
9. Blackpill’s brutal—looks run the early game. A 2016 Personality and Individual Differences study found top-tier aesthetics boost mating opportunities by 60% over average looks. High-SMV guys barely try. But mid white dudes still bag decent girls by maxxing other traits, while ethnics have this issues due to stereotypes which some may be true.
10. Racepill makes looks even crueler. Ethnics, even with solid aesthetics, get cucked by bias. A 2021 Pew Research study showed non-white men have lower interracial pairing rates (12% vs. 24% for white men), even with high status. Mid white retards lean on cultural familiarity to close.
11. Blackpill says sub-8s are doomed, and it’s rough—face is a gatekeeper, and ethnics get it extra brutal. But mid white dudes pulling decent chicks show it’s not just aesthetics. They’re grinding frame, status, and emotional game to offset their SMV. A 2024 Journal of Evolutionary Psychology study found men with balanced traits (confidence, status, stability) still secure partners, even with mid aesthetics. It’s a brutal grind, not hopeium.
12. So why are these mid-tier white retards pulling? They are just not obsessed with what they cant control they focus on , status, and emotional game to compensate for their 5/10 faces. Ethnics with better looks get filtered by cultural loses or stereotypes, needing 2x the grind for half the results. Studies show looks are king early, but other traits can clutch up if you’re not subhuman-tier.

TLDR: Face is a meat grinder—studies prove high aesthetics give a huge edge. But mid white retards pull decent girls by focusing frame, personality, status, and emotional game. It may be harder for ethnics but not impossible as it much easier for them to pull in their own country than in others. Idk why most people on this forum focus this much on looks if you are a a decent MTN there is hope and if you are a HTN you will fs find a girl if you try. I know this thread might sound red pill but the pendulum swings and I find this in the middle. (I am not a fed)
