random idea i had, unresearched, and probably wrong, but here it is
Now if you asked most people in the community (or really any reasonably educated person) why women prefer men who are physically attractive the answer would be obvious, it's because of evolutionary processes which select for superior traits and genes because all individuals want to try and make sure their offspring have superior genes.
Most .orgers would not deny the role of personality, but would consider it one of the least important factors. However my new theory is that looksmaxxing itself is driven by personality traits at its core.
Basically, there are non-attractive people throughout the world, throughout the West as well. However, it is safe to say the vast majority of them are neither blackpilled and especially, neither are they looksmaxxing/looksmaxxers. Even if we take into account that the vast majority of the world is poor and uneducated, we see that most non-attractive people in the West as well are generally unaware of looksmaxxing (I mean at a deeper level, most people do already know about surface-level stuff like cope skincare products).
Only a small fraction of non-attractive people ever become true looksmaxxers/blackpillers. Those who do tend to have somewhat similar personality/mental traits: that is, some form of neurodivergence (ADHD, Level 1-2 autism, etc), a more risk-taking personality, and an analytical/reading-oriented mind.
tl;dr what if this is just nature slightly selecting for certain personality traits as well, such as neurodivergence, risk-takers, and analytical minds, etc? If only people with these traits become looksmaxxers and manage to ascend and reproduce, then it stands of reason that these traits must have some evolutionary advantage, thereby bringing us back to the original point we all deny, "personality matters too bro"
