I'm gonna present 2 psychological tricks. They use these psychological tricks in media, politics, general advertisement, everywhere. These psychological effects are present here, they affect looksmaxxing methods, user ratings, blackpill ideologies etc. Everything that is.. visual basically
1. Illusory truth effect : when you keep seeing false things over and over repeated for long enough time, you'll believe it, even if your instincts initially told you other wise and you didn't believe it. wikipedia link
Example 1.
How this takes effect on PSL forums: Lets take an user that starts spamming his pictures over and over every day and keeps telling he fucks women.
- "I fuck mad bitches bro, i mog prime chico, delon. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
At first, you'll laugh at him. Think he's a troll. To be fair you think well "he looks above average for a white guy and low inhib enough, so he can likely get girls, but he's making a fool of himself"
months pass by....
he keeps uplaoding his autistic threads, pictures every single day, telling you how handsome he is, how much girls worship him
and then you'll actually see some form of cult forming around him. you'll observe people repeating these things that he was telling about himself. you will see people telling he's 7 psl or 6,5 psl. you will see people telling he's legit chad. you will see these users defending their little idol to death. their minds have been hijacked, @Arceus300 has them on a leash.
Example 2.
"I'm a super model, billionaire, esports super star, also a kick-boxing champion, 8 inch dick, 24 inch bideltoid without gymcelling btw. I also like to draw in my free time, they showcase my paintings in the Louvre. I also have more sex appeal than most models and fuck different 7-8 psl instagram models every day. All completely effortless. Looks theory doesn't matter, you just need to be confident guys and you're all a bunch of aspies."
So at first your first intuition is that he's a pretty handsome dude and is full of himself, but he's likely overexaggerating and has likely something to compensate for, for trying to impress a forum filled with sex deprived lonely dudes. So what's his deal? Was he an incel growing up and trying to redeem himself? Is he mentally ill?
It doesn't really matter. He posts enough Tinder threads, he posts enough frauded selfies, photoshopped selfies in perfect lightning. He writes about enough crazy stories and experiences, whether they're true, partially true or completely false, are utterly irrelevant. As time passes, as you keep seeing his face over and over you'll soon enough believe that, he is, indeed the ultimate giga chad. People write threads about him 24/7, he's in everyone's mind, he's Jesus Christ of PSL. Nobody SMV mogs Chris. If Chris DMs Margot Robbie, then Margot Robbie is knocking on the door the day after. Face down, ass up? she asks.
2. Mere-exposure effect wikipedia link
This is similar to the first one, but different in the sense that this is directly related to attraction and familiarity.
When you see someone's face over and over, over time you'll look past his/her flaws and see him/her in different light than your first impression.
This is why you develop oneitis with average looking girls,
This is why you'll start overrating users once they've posted their face enough times.
This is why you'll believe certain people "ascended" upon looksmaxxing, even though they didn't. (You don't take their flaws into account as much as you did the first time you've seen them, because you got used to them after seeing the face over and over, thus you'll more so judge him by how much they improved compared to his previous state, instead of where they truly stand and what kind of first impression they have on strangers)
Lets say, someone below-average posts his face.
You're gonna see people shit on him. You're gonna see people telling him it's over and don't even bother. Then once he keeps making threads over and over, you're gonna see people making softer. The Mere-Exposure effect is already taking place. What was first "over", now is "not that bad".
He's a familiar face now. You've seen him in hundreds of threads. You've seen him in youtube videos. Suddenly you consider him average instead of below average. He's just another average dude that can make it. He's truly not that bad as you initially thought.
Then, the magi happens.
The people whose mind is already hijacked by this psychological phenomenon will overrate him by how much he improved vs. where he stands. You're gonna see people calling him high tier normie, chadlite, 6 psl. These people no longer see the NCT, death tier mouth area, bad lower third, hairline, collagen etc
- these things not only has an effect on users, but looksmaxxing methods, aka if someone posts enough about steroids, sarms etc. you're gonna be subconsciously peer pressured into it and by seeing all those compounds, they sort of become "familiar" and not seem as dangerous and make it likelier for you to actually inject shit
- if someone posts enough mewing studies, theories, great work articles you'll be inclined to believe mewing is not complete utter garbage and has to have some scientific base behind it
- if someone posts "gymcelling is bad, all about face" enough you'll be inclined to believe gymcelling is indeed coping, when its proven to have numerous health benefits and will likely always somewhat improve your looks, whether directly through your physique or the health benefits associated with improved circulation, skin, metabolism, sleep etc.
- if someone posts enough videos, pictures about fitness influencers who have top 0,001% insertions, proportions, test levels, muscle androgen receptor density and metabolism, you're more inclined to believe that gymcelling on your below average manlet framecel physique with shitty insertions will make you look better, when in reality at best it doesnt do anything, at worst it makes u seem coping manlet bloatcel
etc. you get the point, its all about how you portay things. you can portray everything in good and bad lightning and if you see certain things enough times, your mind will be tricked into believing it.
If you want to ascend, you need to more skeptical with everything. Every method, every product they recommend, every compound, every vitamin etc.
nothing, and everything works at the same time, it all comes down to the person at the end of the day, there is no 1 1 size fits all in looksmaxxing techniques. if you aren't high IQ to figure out what things helps you ascend and can't take proper judgement of the feedback you get, chances you'll never make it.
People will believe what fits their own narrative, their own problems and will project it onto others to seek familiarity and reassurance in their inner lack of confidence.
