Look, if women here would just admit that they're attracted to guys who are rich, good-looking, or popular, and that things like character, intelligence, humor, confidence, etc., are just things they say they're attracted to so as to not appear shallow, then there wouldn't be so many confused and bitter guys. But women keep pedaling the myth that any guy who isn't attractive to women must have a bad personality and be an unpleasant person to be around. It's hilarious. All the women here would be surprised to know that I'm actually a very pleasant person to be around and that I make friends easily and women enjoy hanging around me. It's the same way for a lot of guys who nonetheless aren't sexually attractive to women.
Why would we "admit" to something that is flat out NOT TRUE??

You are so invested in this little story in your own head that you can't see the forest for the trees

Even when I was making 50k a year and a welder I was getting laid by hot girls. I was dating a girl that probably 90% of guys here would call a 9 or 10 in both looks and personality. She even moved 1000 miles to live with me.

It IS about personality. Being genuine, nice, fun, confident, funny, comfortable, etc.

So I was a perfect example of not having looks, money, or a fancy job title. Now I am huge and in amazing shape, and I make way way way more money. Does it help? HELL YEAH. Not just in the attractiveness part, but mostly in the confidence part. In regards to money, makes very little more difference. I rarely took girls out when I was poor or making a ton. Not my thing.

My advice is, practice. Lower your standards even just to get some dates and practice. Be fun, confident, make jokes amd dont be ashamed to make fun of yourself. I could go all day giving personality tips but im honestly saying from experience on both sides of the fence, a good personality CAN trump looks and money. Just quit making the stupid excuses like lack of looks and money would be a GREAT start

Honestly, when I've looked back at my dating life, some of the most attractive and eligible women I've dated were when I was fat. If anything, now that I'm in better shape, I think it's easier to assume that I'm a gym-rat D-bag bro, whereas before, I was just a lovable, funny, unintimidating teddy bear.

Very true statement.

But most of these "elite" women always have a guy or two on the side that can take care of their "physical needs" from time to time. Don't forget about the other friend that is in the bottom sock drawer. Very few TRULY SINGLE women in today's society.

I disagree, woman's single hood can pop-up a bunch of time as many men pump and dump.
