I made a similar post a couple of years ago, but I think it’s time again after seeing a few nice-guy/incel posts here. So, guys who have made it to the other side, what would you say to your previous self? I’ll leave my own personal answer in a comment below.

    Damn that’s crazy bro

    Looks matter. It is naive to think they don’t.

    Being showered and groomed increases your chances to get a date. It’s not rocket science.

      To some maybe, but anyone who is that focused on looks isn’t worth your time, just like you shouldn’t be focused on looks either. All conventions say that I “married out of my league”, but it just gets so much easier when you drop all that crap and just start talking to people ignoring all of that. So I’ll amend it to “The ones who are worth pursuing don’t care about looks”. Granted, the younger you are the harder it is for you to see because you are waiting for your world to expand and find new people.

      You can keep downvoting me all you want, it doesn’t make what I said untrue. You don’t even have to believe me, I don’t care, look at all of the other people in this post who came to the same conclusions and it worked for them too. I guarantee the vast majority of people here are not supermodels.
