I will say this too, I am aware the bottom 40-45% of men in today’s society have it rough and for them I would say looks is probably directly holding them back. However, even if they looked good enough for women to even consider dating them, personality still applies lmao. Personality is the main issue for the majority, looks isn’t.
The reason people like to claim it’s all looks is because in caveman terms; decent looking people often have decent personalities which gets them decent success. Sometimes I can’t stand talking to very unattractive people although I feel bad for them. It’s like they become a reflection of how people treat them, you can tell that they were abused growing up and it feels like every second they fucking speak they spread a molecule of their trauma to you.
