NOTE: THIS IS A UNEDITED VERSION OF 2 PAGES SIMPLY PUT THROUGH CHATGPT TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT READABLE.
When I finish the book I will publish a small version of it (condensed in round 40 pages with like 10 talking about BP stuff)
Enjoy

For now, we’ve been talking about the things you can and will change about your life, or the way you live. But what about the things you have little to no control over—things that can make your life feel like heaven or hell? You might think there’s no such thing. Wrong.
I present to you: THE GENETIC LOTTERY.
Now, what is the genetic lottery? You might be asking yourself that question.
The genetic lottery is essentially the very first gamble you ever take—long before you’re even born. Some people deny this and claim, “You’ll just be like your parents.” But that’s simply not true. There are countless cases where, even if someone shares similarities with their parents in personality or thought patterns, they still look or behave very differently. While it’s true that your parents play some role in determining how you turn out (for example, two tall, blue-eyed parents make it unlikely you’ll be short with hazel eyes), genetics is still a lottery.
So, how does this lottery influence our lives?
The answer: a lot.
Imagine you walked into a bookstore to buy a book (hard to picture in the 21st century, I know, but stay with me). If you couldn’t find a title and saw someone wearing a vest with the store’s logo, you’d assume they worked there and ask them for help. But what if they didn’t actually work there? What if they just liked the vest? You judged based on appearance—and probably without thinking twice.
That’s the same way people get judged every day, not by what they do, but by how they look. And the effects are even more significant when it comes to people. For example, you’re far more likely to clutch your phone walking past someone who’s covered in tattoos, looks dirty, and has a wild hairstyle than someone in a suit with a clean haircut. We judge books by covers—and people by appearances.
This impacts every area of life, especially relationships—both romantic and platonic. To keep things simple, I’ll use three categories:
BAD LOOKS, NO-IMPACT LOOKS, and GOOD LOOKS.
People with “bad looks” are often judged as ugly, untrustworthy, or weird. Instead of their interests being added to their identity, those interests become their entire label. For example, someone who’s into Star Wars but attractive might just be seen as “nerdy.” Someone with the same interest but unattractive? They’re labeled a “nerd.”
This can negatively affect their entire life. People avoid associating with them, which makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Even if someone ignores these social “rules,” they often face judgment by association.
For instance, in high school, I had a friend who was considered “weird.” He was unusual, sure, but he was also hilarious and never boring. But other friends—many of whom I’ve since cut out—would criticize me for hanging out with him. Their small minds couldn’t handle someone breaking social expectations.
Romantic relationships are even harsher. I had a friend who was genuinely a good guy but wasn’t conventionally attractive. Time after time, I saw how women treated him compared to me. They laughed at my bad jokes but barely acknowledged him. Watching how differently he was treated, and how often he was rejected, made me realize just how deeply looks affect our lives.
This kind of judgment isn’t just unfair—it’s dangerous. Many people who end up isolated and turn to extreme behavior start from this rejection. If everyone is judging you before they even talk to you, how do you not isolate yourself?
These are the “average” people. Not ugly, not especially attractive. Think: a 175 cm guy with average features, average intelligence, and no striking qualities.
This group experiences both sides: they don’t get advantages, but they’re not bullied either. They’re like the kids in high school who were neither popular nor considered nerds.
And honestly? This can feel worse. Being invisible means you’re not disliked enough to give up socially, but also not liked enough to stand out or thrive. It’s a kind of limbo.
This one needs little explanation. Humans naturally prefer things that look good—and that includes people. Attractive people are more likely to be trusted, admired, and given opportunities.
One of the biggest questions people—especially men—ask themselves is: what matters most when it comes to looks?
The answer is harmony.
Harmony means how well everything “fits together” in your body and face. For example, a guy who is 183 cm tall with balanced, average features will usually have a better life than someone with outstanding features but one glaring flaw (e.g., very attractive but only 145 cm tall).
That’s because people notice bad features before they notice the good ones.
There are really only two ways to influence your looks:
Since surgery is expensive, let’s focus on the second point.
The most impactful thing you can control is your body fat percentage.
Body fat percentage is simply the proportion of your body weight that’s fat. I’ve personally gone from about 30% body fat to 15%, and I felt ten times better physically—and looked a hundred times better.
Why? Because your bone structure determines a lot of your appearance, but if it’s hidden under fat, it doesn’t matter. Lower body fat makes your features visible.
What if you really lost the genetic lottery? Maybe you’re short and unattractive, beyond what fat loss or surgery can fix.
Then the only thing left to do is accept it and move on.
Don’t let society’s standards define your life. Focus on areas where looks don’t matter. At the end of the day, being bitter about the cards you were dealt won’t change them. Play your hand, and don’t let it make your life hell.

WHAT REALLY MATTERS
One of the biggest questions people—especially men—ask themselves is: what matters most when it comes to looks?

That’s because people notice bad features before they notice the good ones.
CAN YOU CHANGE IT?
There are really only two ways to influence your looks:
- Surgery or medical interventions for things you can’t change naturally (like height or bone structure).
- Rigorous control over the aspects you can change.
Since surgery is expensive, let’s focus on the second point.
The most impactful thing you can control is your body fat percentage.
Body fat percentage is simply the proportion of your body weight that’s fat. I’ve personally gone from about 30% body fat to 15%, and I felt ten times better physically—and looked a hundred times better.
Why? Because your bone structure determines a lot of your appearance, but if it’s hidden under fat, it doesn’t matter. Lower body fat makes your features visible.
AND IF YOU LOSE THE LOTTERY?
What if you really lost the genetic lottery? Maybe you’re short and unattractive, beyond what fat loss or surgery can fix.
Then the only thing left to do is accept it and move on.
Don’t let society’s standards define your life. Focus on areas where looks don’t matter. At the end of the day, being bitter about the cards you were dealt won’t change them. Play your hand, and don’t let it make your life hell.
