Is the black pill true?

[Anonymous]

Basically in a nutshell, looks are everything when it comes to relationships. Looks are the ultimate factor for deciding if you want to be with someone. The incel community talks about it & says that if you don't have good genetics for passing off to offspring then you're screwed in the dafing field. They also talk about how the jaw is the make it or break attractive quality. If you don't have a prominent jawline or defined, then you're also out of the dating game. It's basically natural selection & finding the best mate possible based off looks. And it's also that love is built around looks and hardwired programming that has humas seeking out the best genes possible for healthy offspring to keep the human race surving.

My opinion is that looks are huge. They are one trait amount many most humans find desirable though while still being hugely important. Pretty much everybody wants a partner they are attracted to. I believe what usually happens is if a person cannot get attractive partners after many attempts they learn that they have to go after different people. People learn what they can get. That may sound really bad and it is in a way but I theorize that people learn to become more attracted to what they can get over time if that makes sense. They learn to prefer the less attractive people. That's what I see at least.

Are they ultimate factor? Eh I would say looks are maybe 40 to 50% of what it takes. Then I'd say another 40 percent or so is personality with the other 10% being things like money or things like that. Another huge huge huge factor for men is you have to learn how to put yourself around women (they will talk to you if you're handsome if in a group) and it's important to learn how to meet women.

Pretty much yeah.

Looks are the most important to INITIATE and KEEP attraction between two people, the same way you need to actually get along with them.

[Saccharissa]

Obviously not, even the most basic premise is flawed - even if looks were the only thing that matters, there'd still be as many different tastes in what defines good or bad looks as there are people. Even if you take the offspring thing and run with it, there'd still be more than just looks. Good genetics are all fine and good for offspring, but you'd still want a mate that can ensure that offspring survives and thrives, which all happens after gene transfer facts and comes down to behavior and personality and not looks.

[Asker]

Yeah but the looks initiate eveything making them the most important thing. Good looks are everything

[Saccharissa]

No, they're not, not by a long shot.

[Asker]

Yes they are. You said they initiate eveything thus making them the most important thing. Incels are right about that

[Saccharissa]

They don't initiate everything. Blanket statements are wrong by default. Smell, behavior, status, compatibility, diversity, there's a metric shitton of signals being sent, received, judged and acted on, in each and every interaction between any people in any kind of social situation. Cherrypicking the one that fits your narrative doesn't make you right.

[Asker]

But most humans are hardwired that way though. The brain is hardwired to seek out good looks and people say looks initiate the attraction. So looks are very very important

[Saccharissa]

No, the brain is hardwired to process, again, a literal metric shitton of information, gathered from all senses. In fact, it is hardwired to filter out a large portion of input because of the sheer volume of it all. There was a time overweight was considered attractive, because it signalled a woman was bountiful and could likely bear and provide for strong, healthy, wellfed children. Light skin was once considered attractive because it signalled a person was wealthy enough to not have to work the land in order to eat. Even physical appearance itself is judged through the lense of other underlying motivations, and not just on what is considered to be "good looking" today. Yes, we're visual creatures as a whole, we're more keyed on visual signals, unlike for example dogs who go primarily by smell, but judging something on visual input =! judging it exclusively on how closely it resembles a magazine cover. When you select a piece of fruit at the store, you very much judge it by how it looks, but you're looking for signs of a fruit that is tasty and fresh, not which one looks the prettiest.

[Asker]

You can't compare a fruit to a human though. Humans choose good looks obviously for sex. Without sex, looks wouldn't matter that nuch

[thegirlfromthething]

Looks aren’t everything but they’re usually necessary for initial attraction and play a large role in assessing someone as a partner before getting to know them. Yes, looks are important, but they’re not the only factors to consider. Compatible lifestyles and personality are necessary too.

[Asker]

I dp think they are extremely important. Looks are everything

[thegirlfromthething]

They’re important but they’re not everything. It’s unfortunate if you can’t see that.

[Asker]

Because they are everything. This world is obsessed with looks. It's everything and it's the most important part of a relationship and love

[thegirlfromthething]

No, they’re not and you’d realize that if you got off your incel sites.

[Asker]

But they are. And i don't care call me an incel or whatever else you want. But there's a lot of truth to what incels say. Love is built on looks and good genetics.

[Wilhelmstrasse]

You can't argue with her. she's a woman. they always lie and always wanna have the last word

[Juxtapose]

If you want someone to like you for who you are rather than what you look like, get a best friend.

If looks didn't matter, then people would not discriminate based on sexual preference such as straight or gay.

[Anonymous]

It’s true. Many of the people here won’t admit it, but it is very true.

Nobody ever DIDN"T want to date a gymnast.
Now get off your butt and do some gymnastics - it's surprisingly easy if you try!

[Anonymous]

Not true at all. My looks are very average, some would say ugly and I have never had a problem in the dating world.

[aeon95]

What's with all these colored pills these days?

[sheepdip]

*Is the black pill true?*

No.

[sweetcocoa_]

Nooooooooooooo

[Asker]

I mean they're not entirely wrong about this stuff

[sweetcocoa_]

They are. Don't get sucked into that man.

[Asker]

How are they wrong? They jave reasons to back up why they see things that way and im a little convinced that's how love actually works.

[ecfresh]

Nope

[NovissimumVirorum]

Yeah
