2 year difference between these photo sets for reference.
I’m reiterating some extremely true and real sentiments that I’ve seen @Orc and @6ft4 post about lately. I’ve been pretty depressed and become disillusioned with the concepts of “lookism” and “pretty privilege.”
Pretty privilege is a thing that only really exists, or exists in a way that’s beneficial to you and able to be harnessed if you’ve been good looking or at least average (both in looks and personality) throughout your whole life and childhood. Being ugly as a child or teenager changes your brain wiring, even if you weren’t actually born with faulty brain wiring like autism.
If you don’t talk, walk, behave and interact in the correct way, attractive women will not have any interest in you that goes beyond the very surface level. Even if you learn how to fake it they’ll be able to tell that something is off about you and their barriers go up.
one thing that strongly activates hostility and standoffishness in normies, especially women, is INCONGRUENCY. If you’re tall and good looking and have the wrong brain wiring then your social life actually becomes far more weird and complicated than it would be if you were average or below average in looks and height. When I was ugly and fat people just expected me to be a little bit weird so it wasn’t some kind of shocker. Of course there were still people who laughed at me or excluded me for that, but there were also people who just accepted it and were kind anyway. Nowadays it seems like I get less and less of that kindness and acceptance.
The unfortunate thing is that it’s not as simple as JUST BE CONFIDENT BRO. You can agonize your gaba receptors with a variety of different substances to lower your inhibition but that still doesn’t magically make you know the right things to say, the right way to behave and move your body. It’s unbelievably fucking brutal. Normies have a built in autism radar.
I remember the first day of college when I met my randomly assigned roommate, who’s very normie- not even the hyper NT extrovert type, just a normal ass dude. He walked in, I hopped off my bed and said something like “hey what’s up dude?” And shook hands. He literally immediately looked uncomfortable despite just having had a regular interaction.
Looking good can get you stared at in public like a fucking zoo animal or get your foot in the door for potential friends and relationships but this ultimately means nothing because maintaining those connections all comes back to the innate brain wiring. It’s so fucking over.
