Are looks more important in nightclubs than in social circle game or regular familiar settings game: Yes
But that doesn't mean that simply reaching a certain looks level equates to success if you are lacking in certain behavioural tendencies

In environments full of strangers under time pressure (nightclubs) what matters is being instantly readable, playful and uninvested in any kind of outcome

Everything has to remain surface level because being hard to read means instant disqualification.
A girl doesn't care that some guy she interacts with mogs 95% of the venue, if she can't instantly tell everything she feels she needs to know about him, she will disqualify him for some other guy who passes her looks threshold who she can tell everything about instantly.

Showing any degree of investment or attachment to the outcome of an interaction is an instant disqualification because women seek men with the least pressure inducing behaviour in environments that are under time pressure.
This is why they choose the uninvested, carefree playful guys who are easy to read.

If you can't convey everything about how you're expected to behave within the first 10 seconds of the interaction foids will immediately lose interest because not readable = too much investment required to determine if things are worth pursuing.
If you're the kind of person who gives laser focus attention to girls in the early stages of getting to know them because it takes time and exposure to substance for you to feel comfortable around each new person you meet, you will instantly put women off because it's interpreted as too much investment and too much pressure in an environment where they're already conscious of time pressure.

This is why interactions in clubs must remain:
light, fast, low-stakes, momentum-based

Depth, intensity and evaluation kills momentum.

As soon as a girl reads your behaviour in an interaction and detects:
He wants to evaluate me
He wants to delve beyond surface level
He could be invested in the outcome

It is too much pressure in her mind so she just moves onto the next guy who will engage in low stakes, surface level interactions

I went out recently and just stood at the side of the dancefloor completely zoned out, not caring about how I was being perceived
A group of 3 decent looking foids walked up to me and stood in front of me facing me, trying to bait me into making a move
What they wanted in that moment was normie programming behaviour to ensue which would be low effort and make me easily readable
But the very traits I possess that allowed me to enter a club by myself and stand on my own and being secure in my own gravitas rather than needing safety in numbers are the traits that prevent me from ever capitalizing on such interactions with foids because they can tell 10 seconds into the interaction that I don't fit the bill of the readable, low pressure, non evaluating normies they seek to interact with

I mog my 18 year old self physically to a massive extent
But the brutal thing is, my 18 year old self prior to doing a single thing to improve my looks already passed the looks threshold for the majority of girls in clubs to entertain interactions with me
I always thought that the thing preventing me from getting these interactions over the line and converting them into slays was not mogging hard enough
The reality is that the fundamental barrier was always my brain wiring and my default behavioural tendencies which are magnitudes harder to change than looks.
Improving my looks just gave me more leeway to find a range of girls who would accept that they're my dumpster dive destination and not scrutinize my behaviour the way above average looking girls do.

Improving my looks didn't make slaying above average girls any easier, it just made them more likely to give IOIs and approach me
I still fail at the first hurdle of the interaction, whereas when I'm working as a bouncer they drag the interaction out more but I still fail at the second hurdle (converting the number swap into a slay) because even if they couldn't put their finger on it, they sensed something off about the interaction compared to what they're adapted to and familiar with.
It doesn't matter if they repeatedly requested my number and begged me to wait for them at the end of the night, the moment they have a milisecond to reflect on the prospect of giving their body to a man who didn't adhere to the low stakes surface level script she's used to, she abandons any opportunity for things to be pursued.
You cannot looksmax your way into having success with goodlooking girls if you have a brain wiring that's introspective and values depth over surface level interactions.
Goodlooking girls are bombarded by a very specific kind of vibe and approach from men from the time they begin puberty, when they interact with men who don't fit that specific kind of approach, their brain signals unfamiliar which they categorize as abnormal so goodlooking girls auto reject men who they regard as difficult to read since it creates friction.

In the Shittish Isles in particular, absolutely every interaction is surface level and performative.
People are evaluated entirely based on categories, and if you don't behave like the category which you look like you should belong to, you are instantly ostracized unless you find a girl who's so enamoured by your looks that she gives you the opportunity to use her as your dumpster dive destination before she has enough time to figure out just how non adherent your personality is with your perceived physical archetype

To expand on this using this forum as an example

In the early days of PSL, the point in using it was to discuss concepts and separate fact from fiction in terms of dating and social dynamics

Users wrote long enough posts so that nuance could be included and so that concepts could be explained beyond braindead normie surface level understanding

What has happened since PSL became flooded with normies:
Discussion is no longer about concepts but it becomes about the interactions between users themselves
Merit means nothing, becoming familiar with other users while engaging in low effort chatting about nonsense becomes the norm

Every thread and post becomes zero effort, surface level garbage akin to "thoughts on x, is it good?"
Not a single worthwhile or coherent point gets made, it just devolves into low effort chatting which is simply just another social hangout
No desire for learning or growth, this is all normie realms of interaction in a nutshell

Content is irrelevant, all that matters is taking part and forming social familiarity via low effort, no substance discussions.

This metaphor explains why I have felt driven out of PSL because of how unrelatable the current userbase of normies is
But it's also a good way to help explain why I have always felt so incapable of forming any kind of connections in spaces where being a gymcelled heightmogger supposedly has a large advantage (clubs)
There is a certain undertone to interactions programmed into the normie brain, if you don't have it, participation in these spaces is utterly pointless.

Thanks for the reminder, that being carefree around foids is everything &
being too invested = automatic low status from the get go

You can find ALT girl tho, that will appreciate your depth & non NPC behaviour (+ LOOKS especially), Ive met couple foids like that, but most are AWALT indeed, that can SNIFF your adhd/autism unfortunately ;/

Here is the text put into fortnite terms:

Nightclubs are basically a Fortnite hot drop at Tilted Towers. Looks are your skin combo — they determine whether people notice you and assume you're competent, but they don’t win the fight for you. You upgraded your skin from default to Legendary, so now more players assume you’re cracked and want to engage. But when the fight starts, instead of sliding in with a quick edit-peek and shotgun flick, you hold high ground and analyze rotations. That works in scrims, not in a chaotic hot drop where time-to-kill is low and momentum is everything. In that environment, being “readable” means having an obvious playstyle — aggressive, playful, confident — so other players instantly know how the fight will go. If your movement feels slow, calculated, or intense, it’s like crouch-walking in the middle of Tilted while everyone else is sprinting and emoting. When those three girls stood in front of you, that was basically three players crouch-spamming with pickaxes out saying, “Are you pushing or not?” They expected quick engagement and light movement, not someone conserving mats and scanning the lobby. Improving your looks just gave you better matchmaking and more initial engagements, but the reason you’re not getting Victory Royales isn’t your rarity level — it’s that you’re playing a strategic endgame style in an early-game chaos meta.

How many likes do you get on a fresh tinder account? I’m curious what your threshold is to be considering behaviour more important than looks. Tinder 100% isolates looks as a factor.

I think 40-50 within 48 hours larping as uni age
When I set my age to 30 I reached 100 likes in 48 hours

This is a good post and very true but it can be summarized as “just be NT”.

The advice I’d give to you is this, and it may not get you slays but it will get you more interactions with women and thus more opportunities/respect.

When you talk to girls at the club/wherever, pretend that you’re not trying to fuck them. Pretend you’re just a normie out socializing having a good time.

Make no mistake, all the normies and girls are out at the club to sex or validation, but they all lie and say they aren’t. Only the thing is, it’s not really a lie. They’re just NT.

NT people don’t see social interaction as dishonest the way we aspies do. They’re just out having fun and end up fucking because that’s what they wanted to do subconsciously.

So your goal should be to sort of find that energy. Make your interactions with women not about slaying. You’re just talking and having fun. Don’t think too much. Take drugs if you need to.

Looking NT will help too, obviously. Having some tattoos and jewelry will help. Maybe a tan and a trendy hairstyle as well.

Chadfishes got 400-500 on first day with college age.

when i ran tinder first time in the end of july i got ridicolously low amount of likes which was 17 in 2h in Warsaw since i opened the account


nowadays ive been using platinum since like half of october and receiving 6-7 likes per day is normal which allows me to create an abundance of LTBs and low MTBs

so to me newbie boost is dead or maybe I mog too much and thats why they didnt like me since I get constantly being accused of chadfishing.

And most ALT girls are sub HTB and far left.

Jfl at dating in your western home country where you have to maintain a strong facade with NT and IG lifestyle and jump through a million hoops to demonstrate adequate social proof for young MTB+

In places like SEA, LATAM, or EE, women still care about this stuff but foreigners won’t be held to the same NT/Social proof standard as the locals. At least for slaying.

I pass med with med name in Poland and I met 50 chicks within 8 months off Tinder which only led to 1 slay lol

good reminder btw
 
i mean i didnt take them on the first date to my place cuz i dont wanna waste money on airbnb and even if "the vibe" was on and we french-kissed i ended up either flaked without a message or blocked

i wanted to just casually talk on the first date and then tried to move things forward while knowing her better, but they dont see me this way apparantly

NT and game comes into play.
 
as if i couldn't hate the club any more than i already did 💀

of course the familiarity pill (in the reverse direction) makes it pointless to go clubbing even as a low inhib mogger
