If you look at clips from crowds at festivals at dance music events back in the 90s, almost nobody was trying to run body halo game and even the guys who may have had lean ripped bodies, wouldn't really be haloed since they're wearing baggy clothing just like everybody else
Because of this, guys with a good face stood out and things came easy for them, but because guys with good face were so rare, every girl who didn't get one of these guys was left with a guy with an average face and had no body halo to compensate with.
Girls still wanted to have sex so this is the era where game ACTUALLY mattered because the only tool that average guys had to outcompete each other with was building familiarity with the girl so chatting her up and trying to impress her and cope with shit tests.

Lets say body game entered public consciousness around the mid 2000s when R&B stars were jacked, all Rugby players were suddenly roiding and reality tv like Jersey Shore showed the gym bro, beach lifestyle.
It was 2011 when the main talk among the guys in our school was about who was a "beast/tank" physically and dominated at sport because of it and what sort of protein/supplemets they were on and how much they were able to lift.
At this point, having abs and also some degree of bicep size was considered impressive
I remember body failo affected a decent amount of guys back then, but in a matter of just a few years, it seemed every young guy who was competing for pussy fixed that failo and everyone was posting gym progress to instagram

Instagram fitness influencers took off and all clothes were being sold as tighter fitting and if you went out clubbing pretty much nobody would have frame failo because they would all have enough mass and clothes would fit well.
All of a sudden, a guy that would've looked completely average in the 90s with baggy clothes and natural build has looksmaxed his way into many girls finding him attractive at first glance because his body looks good, his clothes are fitted and he will probably be haircut and tan maxxed.

After Zyzz died and people started using his clips on omegle for reactions, there was a huge trend of guys going on omegle and getting reactions for their bodies, they would cover their body at first and girls would stick around for their decent face then the reveal their roided body and get a reaction



However nowadays, it seems like seeing a good body online became so "meh" that a decent face being haloed by a top tier body is no longer seen as cool or impressive anymore, we have gone back to body being largely irrelevant and face being everything BECAUSE your face now needs to be so out of the ordinary to stand out in the tiktok generation that having skinny v ripped body makes no difference since every girl would pick you for your face regardless

It's only guys with faces in the 50th-99th percentile range that need to worry about body halo/failo
But the guys that actually matter in the top 1% to 0.0001% body halo is irrelevant for them



the pendulum is back in the favour of outlier face, the body game that was considered impressive, nobody cares about now, they only care about a guy with 1 in a million face who wear baggy clothes

Spot on, good observation, especially the 2011 turning point you threw in.

Yeah Connor Murphy era and all. Fitness became pretty mainstream but irl not a lot of guys have fitness model bodies. Maybe online is a little over saturated with insane generics but Irl a good body will halo you to the sky.

2012 was the nail in the coffin. The year Tinder was founded :hnghn::hnghn::hnghn:. I'm just glad I could get a high school girlfriend during the pre-Tinder era :feelsbadman::feelsbadman:
 
Nice face always trumped body.
