Create a realistic portrait of a male Internet forum user in his early to mid-20s with an aesthetic style that reflects long-term forum engagement. He is slightly socially isolated, spends many hours online, and has a neutral to slightly introspective expression. Visual cues: casual indoor lighting, a desktop background with forum threads visible on a monitor, subtle signs of personal care but not overly polished, slightly tired eyes, plain t-shirt, mild stubble. He should appear average to slightly attractive, not a model, with a grounded everyday look. Add a small overlay badge showing “1000+ posts” like a forum achievement icon. Realistic photo style.​

Create a realistic portrait of a male Internet forum user in his late teens to early 20s who is a low-to-moderate activity member of an online self-improvement forum. He has under 1,000 posts and appears more casual, less entrenched in forum culture. His expression is neutral or slightly uncertain, with less intensity or obsession. Visual cues: clean but basic appearance, hoodie or casual streetwear, brighter lighting than a basement setting, phone or laptop open casually with a forum page visible but not dominant. Eyes appear more relaxed, less fatigued. Grooming is average, no extreme aesthetic focus. Add a small, understated overlay badge reading “<1000 posts” similar to a forum stat indicator. Photorealistic style, candid and natural.​

Introduction

In feedback on earlier surveys, several users asked whether high-activity posters differ from newer or less active users. To check this, I ran two identical surveys: one sent to users with <1K posts and one to users with >1K posts.

This thread shows only the differences between those two groups, where they’re meaningful. I’m not doing a separate write-up of the >1K results here.

What the data actually shows about >1K posters

Not here to moralize, just looking at what actually separates people here. The question is: what kind of selection process produces someone who hits 1000+ posts?

The data suggests high-posters aren't just "more engaged normies"; they're a functionally different population. Here's what separates them:

Social isolation is way more pronounced.
High-posters are older, spend more time here, interact with women less, and are less socially connected. Classic substitution pattern: the forum isn't supplementing their social life, it's increasingly becoming it.

Mental state is noticeably darker.
Lower happiness, higher anger/hostility, more frequent mockery of others, and more negative sentiment toward women But here's the twist: self-ratings don't tank. Most still rate themselves average-to-above. Translation: the bitterness is outward-facing, not just self-hatred spiraling.

Looksmaxxing effort goes up, faith in it goes down.
More prescriptions, more surgeries considered/done, bigger reported improvements. But also way more skepticism that any of it actually changes how people treat them. Diminishing returns in action-- the more you invest, the less each gain seems to matter.

Romantic outcomes don't improve, they polarize.
Virgin rates stay similar, but high-posters show more extremes: more escortcelling, more rejection stories, more complete isolation, and a small minority with unusually high counts. It's not a linear progression upward, it's forking into opposite ends.

Long-term users are blackpilled on the forum itself.
Despite being the most active, they're more likely to say it's declining and less likely to recommend it. They're not here because it's working-- they're here because everything else feels worse or nonexistent.

The model that fits best: selection + reinforcement loop
  • Guys who are reasonably integrated socially or see early wins tend to leave
  • Guys who are isolated, stuck, or frustrated stay and post heavily
  • Over time, high activity becomes less a success metric and more a marker of being trapped
Causation probably runs both ways. Posting a lot may make things worse, but these traits also predict who becomes a high-poster in the first place. Either way, post count ends up being one of the strongest dividing lines in our userbase.


TLDR: >1K posters are more isolated, more bitter, looksmax harder while believing in it less, and have worse outcomes. Post count tracks who's trapped here, not who's making it.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this yet but thought its interested that more than 1000 post people are concentrated on the higher end of the heigh spectrum although staying the same weight as the sub 1000 posters. Meaning that more than1000 posters are slimmer on average

What the data actually shows about >1K posters

Not here to moralize, just looking at what actually separates people here. The question is: what kind of selection process produces someone who hits 1000+ posts?

The data suggests high-posters aren't just "more engaged normies"; they're a functionally different population. Here's what separates them:

Social isolation is way more pronounced.
High-posters are older, spend more time here, interact with women less, and are less socially connected. Classic substitution pattern: the forum isn't supplementing their social life, it's increasingly becoming it.

Mental state is noticeably darker.
Lower happiness, higher anger/hostility, more frequent mockery of others, and more negative sentiment toward women But here's the twist: self-ratings don't tank. Most still rate themselves average-to-above. Translation: the bitterness is outward-facing, not just self-hatred spiraling.

Looksmaxxing effort goes up, faith in it goes down.
More prescriptions, more surgeries considered/done, bigger reported improvements. But also way more skepticism that any of it actually changes how people treat them. Diminishing returns in action-- the more you invest, the less each gain seems to matter.

Romantic outcomes don't improve, they polarize.
Virgin rates stay similar, but high-posters show more extremes: more escortcelling, more rejection stories, more complete isolation, and a small minority with unusually high counts. It's not a linear progression upward, it's forking into opposite ends.

Long-term users are blackpilled on the forum itself.
Despite being the most active, they're more likely to say it's declining and less likely to recommend it. They're not here because it's working-- they're here because everything else feels worse or nonexistent.

The model that fits best: selection + reinforcement loop
  • Guys who are reasonably integrated socially or see early wins tend to leave
  • Guys who are isolated, stuck, or frustrated stay and post heavily
  • Over time, high activity becomes less a success metric and more a marker of being trapped
Causation probably runs both ways. Posting a lot may make things worse, but these traits also predict who becomes a high-poster in the first place. Either way, post count ends up being one of the strongest dividing lines in our userbase.


TLDR: >1K posters are more isolated, more bitter, looksmax harder while believing in it less, and have worse outcomes. Post count tracks who's trapped here, not who's making it.

Did you control for posting frequency rather than just total posts? I have over 1k but I hardly spend any time on here and never made a thread. You would see the greatest personality deviations in people who post very frequently I think.

What the data actually shows about >1K posters

Not here to moralize, just looking at what actually separates people here. The question is: what kind of selection process produces someone who hits 1000+ posts?

The data suggests high-posters aren't just "more engaged normies"; they're a functionally different population. Here's what separates them:

Social isolation is way more pronounced.
High-posters are older, spend more time here, interact with women less, and are less socially connected. Classic substitution pattern: the forum isn't supplementing their social life, it's increasingly becoming it.

Mental state is noticeably darker.
Lower happiness, higher anger/hostility, more frequent mockery of others, and more negative sentiment toward women But here's the twist: self-ratings don't tank. Most still rate themselves average-to-above. Translation: the bitterness is outward-facing, not just self-hatred spiraling.

Looksmaxxing effort goes up, faith in it goes down.
More prescriptions, more surgeries considered/done, bigger reported improvements. But also way more skepticism that any of it actually changes how people treat them. Diminishing returns in action-- the more you invest, the less each gain seems to matter.

Romantic outcomes don't improve, they polarize.
Virgin rates stay similar, but high-posters show more extremes: more escortcelling, more rejection stories, more complete isolation, and a small minority with unusually high counts. It's not a linear progression upward, it's forking into opposite ends.

Long-term users are blackpilled on the forum itself.
Despite being the most active, they're more likely to say it's declining and less likely to recommend it. They're not here because it's working-- they're here because everything else feels worse or nonexistent.

The model that fits best: selection + reinforcement loop
  • Guys who are reasonably integrated socially or see early wins tend to leave
  • Guys who are isolated, stuck, or frustrated stay and post heavily
  • Over time, high activity becomes less a success metric and more a marker of being trapped
Causation probably runs both ways. Posting a lot may make things worse, but these traits also predict who becomes a high-poster in the first place. Either way, post count ends up being one of the strongest dividing lines in our userbase.


TLDR: >1K posters are more isolated, more bitter, looksmax harder while believing in it less, and have worse outcomes. Post count tracks who's trapped here, not who's making it.

ok
 
Very interesting, seen this thread a few times but never bothered to read. I'm glad I finally did.
 
@Alexanderr could you provide data for the <1K users as well? I'd like to generate some confidence intervals for the difference between the <1K and >1K users because the margins are quite slim for some of the questions.

Introduction

In feedback on earlier surveys, several users asked whether high-activity posters differ from newer or less active users. To check this, I ran two identical surveys: one sent to users with <1K posts and one to users with >1K posts.

This thread shows only the differences between those two groups, where they’re meaningful. I’m not doing a separate write-up of the >1K results here.
