The Glade 4.0

That's not true. You should be 100% fulfilled but still take right action to make living easier for you in the future. You can't be 100% if you are starving on the streets without a job, or if you are dying in a hospital because you chose to be unhealthy.

Well I think we're arguing semantics at this point. You should be happy with who you are but that doesnt mean you stop trying to improve yourself.

Agreed. That's my point

BTW, you are wrong about this too. Assessing attractiveness by looks is one of the most animalistic and primal traits remaining in human. It's not a society expectation. It may be a society construct, but it comes from the way we are fundamentally wired.

Men needed healthy consorts who could bear children and not die in giving birth. This is actually still a concern in many semi-indegenious cultures. Women needed men who were strong enough to provide food and do all the necessary functions associated with survival. Each was aware of this and thus strove to eat and stay at a healthy weight to attrack each other.

These elements still exist today, they just have changed slightly. But they are imprinted in our instinct when measuring up potential mates. So it's actually the most animalistic and primal hungers we try to sate. It makes sense as in a society where intellectual prowess is the greatest path to enormous power and wealth (because we have machines and social structure that takes of things our ancestors did not), looks are still a factor in attractiveness.

The best pickup artists are not good looking. Tribal chiefs were not good looking. They only had power, charisma, and confidence. Women EMOTIONALLY DONT CARE about looks even when they think they do.

They aren't good looking by today's standard, no, but that's not the argument I made. They were healthy, which today has translated into our idea of "good looking".

And what are these "best pickup" artists you are talking about?

One of my best friends at work was I guy I met when we started here back in 2008. He gets more *** than anyone I've ever met in my life, he's probably banged over 40 different women this year including woman in her 40's who is a dictionary definition MILF. He knows looks are part of it. We all do. You can be the most charismatic **** ever, but if you look like a nosferatu, you ain't getting ****. Your point is valid that you don't have to be George Clooney to get girls to talk to you, but that doesn't mean you want your appereance or how you present yourself to be a liability, either.

Women in their 40's are easy to bang. They don't really count.

Looks don't matter. You're just wrong. I don't feel like explaining further because I only like to write about things I'm unsure of.
