Looks can provide advantages, but many people in the looksmaxing community overestimate how much appearance determines life outcomes. Physical attractiveness may help with first impressions, yet long term success in dating, friendships, careers, and personal happiness depends on far more than facial features or bone structure. Confidence, social skills, ambition, emotional intelligence, and the ability to connect with others often have a greater impact than moving from a 6/10 to an 8/10. There are countless examples of average-looking people with great relationships and successful lives, while highly attractive people can still struggle with loneliness, insecurity, and failure. Improving your appearance is fine, but treating looks as the main factor behind every success or failure creates a distorted view of reality. At some point, the highest return on investment comes not from chasing another aesthetic improvement, but from developing the qualities that make people genuinely respect, trust, and enjoy being around you.

Looks attract.
You can't catch a fish without good bait.

There are also other ways of improving your mind, like staying off of sites like this once you start looking better

I agree with everything you said except the emotional intelligence bit. Emotional intelligence is a crock of shit.

Money is also a good way to attract, you're right goy.
No one really sees money first, unless your flaunting it.

Maybe "emotional intelligence" is an overused buzzword, but the underlying concept is real. Some people are better at reading social situations, understanding how others feel, controlling their impulses, and communicating effectively. Whatever label you want to give it, those abilities clearly exist and they have a major impact on relationships, networking, leadership, and dating. You don't have to believe in emotional intelligence as a formal theory to recognize that social awareness and self-control are valuable skills.

Fair criticism. The phrase "emotional intelligence" does sound like it was invented by an HR department. My point was basically that being able to read people and not sabotage your own relationships matters.

Social awareness is great. But usually when someone uses the word "emotional intelligence" (Usually a stupid woman) it's to try and shame you into doing what they want by framing your lack of caring how they feel as not knowing how they feel.

"Bitch I know perfectly well how you feel, I just don't give a fuck. Now shut up and get happy."

Then make your point instead of wasting my time.

Nigga making me play a carnival game
Your mannerisms and character. How you enter a room and react to stimuli from other people. If you're skilled at using tension when interacting with girls.

Tension is a big one. Most men these days are straight pussy and don't invoke any tension when talking to girls they like who might otherwise be interested. They make teasing jokes and immediately laugh right afterwards to relieve any tension for fear of offending the girl.

Intrigue is a big one too. Most men don't know how to selectively reveal things about themselves. They just put everything out there.

If looks were literally your life, there wouldn't be attractive people who are depressed, broke, lonely, or miserable.

Are you retarded?
There being jobs just for your looks specifically prove looks are everything.

There are more bad looking people in the same position as Stepanov but they dont get recognition because they aren't attractive enough.
