➔ THE FAMILIARITY EFFECT & SUBJECTIVE PHENOTYPING ➔
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Alright alright, we've all heard it by now: "too much dude, you have no appeal dude." A tale as old as time, rinsed and repeated over a million different occasions.
BUT...
What if I told you appeal is actually different from PSL?
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SECTION I. THE DIFFERENCES
When greys talk about "appeal" and "PSL", they usually mean that the dude with "appeal" is more than likely boneless with soft feminine features and the dude with "PSL" is a bony ogre with 11+ ang and 0 harmony. HOWEVER, this is NOT what I'll be referring to today.
As human beings, we're hardwired to reach out for what we feel is familiar to us to an EXTENT.
MEANING: Hypothetically, if you were Indian and primarily grew up surrounded by other Indians, you'd find other Indians attractive. Although it is pretty retarded to put "Indian" under an entire umbrella granted they all look different to an extent, if all you saw was a bunch of Indian people—both attractive and unattractive—you'd end up looking for your own kin regardless of where they stand on the PSL scale.

CASE STUDY A: DEATHNIC MTN VS CHADS
Let's take a look at our GOOD fantastic and beautiful horse of a friend, Arjun Rampal:
Very terrible looking individual objectively.
Now let's take a look at our very well-renowned and infamous friend, Alfredo:
Well guess what? I asked 50 mixed girls, primarily Indian (around my age, 18–20) PERSONALLY, and only around 8 of them ACTUALLY think that Alfredo facially mogs Arjun. The vast majority of them think Alfredo looks gay and odd (???). I was honestly shocked myself.

"But saar, Arjun has a status halo!" FUCK YOU! No he doesn't. Some of these foids don't even know what Arjun does—he's just a reoccurring character in the media for god knows why, kinda like Testicular. Everything you know about him is against your own will, so I wouldn't necessarily call it a "status halo."
So after that was said and done, I thought: wow, that was unexpected. What do they think of someone like Chico Lachowski then? (The images I presented):
This is what everyone refers to when they say "appeal", right?
WRONG.
The majority of them said he looks like a kid (???), and far too pale.

CASE STUDY B: ND LOCAL QUESTIONNAIRE
"Man, you know what? Fuck Indian foids! Nobody wants to appeal to them anyways."
Great. I knew some of you would say that.
So I went ahead and PERSONALLY approached local women (and a couple men too icl) and put our next subject to test.
Of course, as I've said previously many times, I'm an Egyptian male. So naturally, for our next comparison, I had to pick a familiar Egyptian face AND the most objectively attractive male in the world, Hernan Drago.
Obviously I didn't have to show that many pictures of the first guy—he's pretty well known where I'm at currently.
People very obviously thought Hernan was attractive—no doubt about that. But the majority of them ACTUALLY think the first guy is more attractive?

The comments I received regarding Hernan were things along the lines of:
- "I don't like what's going on with his cheeks"
- "He looks good but it's not anything mindblowing"
- "His eyes are too small"
Typical NT normie comments. Too striking for their rotten minds is what I would say.
Despite Hernan being 10000x more attractive than him objectively, the majority actually picked the first guy.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
CONCLUSION & REALITY CHECK
WHY?
Because he's FAMILIAR. There's many guys here like him, but not nearly as many people that look as good as HIM, subjectively of course.
What I'm trying to get at here is: certain people look TOO good in certain places and look completely average/less than average in other places.
If you're doing this with slaying foids in mind, and you're not from a typical Western country, try analyzing what the majority of the population actually think is attractive, and go off of that. You could end up looking out of place in the process (eventually what happened with me as well after I bleached my skin).
I've been going around asking locals these neurodivergent chud questions building up to this thread for a REALLY long while, and you could even end up seeing that I was complaining about people calling Hernan average a couple months back.
