Dr. Mike (the bodybuidler) is blackpilled as hell XD

[Something Funny]

No hate on him. But I just saw this video and wanted to share it.

Do you think he is right?

I feel like he is right in a sense that a lot of what he is saying about height, weight, looks, seems to come from his own direct experience of how he has been treated, even though he doesn't explicitly admit that. 

I don't think you get such negative views randomly and then randomly over-compensate by injecting steroids and becoming huge like a cow. He is clearly traumatized by his own life experiences. This was actual reality for him.

All that is to say that you can choose to be an optimist and think positively. But the way attraction, looks, and dating work is pretty brutal and merciless in reality.

And this is worsened by the social media brain rot and our low consciousness stage orange culture.

Steroid Mike is correct.

The interviewer is clueless.

I actually wanted to avoid watching the full interview because I didn't want it to impact my mental health negatively, but then I've changed my mind.

I have to say, it takes real mental effort to not get depressed when hearing all this.

Of course. That's why society lies to you about it.

And why I held back my blackpill episode.

But it is even worse than Steroid Mike says because he is wrong, you cannot improve your looks with surgery very much. He makes it sound like a 4 can become an 8 with a bit of surgery. No. That is fantasy.

I think he seriously overestimates how fast the progress will be with his claims about the future, 

But I think some surgeries can help you look a lot better if you happen to be the right person. 

Like if your teeth are all yellow and crooked, getting them straight and pearly white will make you look a lot better.

I think I would look, maybe not a lot, but noticeably better if I removed my acne scars.

I know for sure that I definitely look better now that I've had lasik surgery and don't need to wear glasses.

@Leo Gura unrelated but, do I understand correctly that if a girl agrees to go with you on a first date, then you are attractive enough for her looks wise, and it's just up to your game at that point?

Correct

[SimpleGuy]

@Leo Gura Maybe I`m wrong but do you claim that reality is very blackpilled? Can you please explain in a nutshell why?

I hope you release your black pill and maybe make a screening test before.

People here want to hear harsh truths. It may be hurting in the short term but with enough integration you will live a better life than get disappointed over and over again because of a lie.

Looks are pretty important. Average guys can get laid with high frequency with average women by learning game. But to really date women significantly more attractive than you is hard, and usually requires some categorical difference in status (being a celebrity; being from a very rich country and going to a very poor country). 

You can engineer situations to increase perceived value temporarily through game, but to really make it stick and date out of your league, you need more than just game.

Not in the internet way.

I honestly have found that just having good looks has really led to very underwhelming results with getting women.

It's like how even Dr. Mike himself said in a video he did about steroids, where he explained that becoming super jacked from bodybuilding and taking steroids had led to him having very underwhelming results with getting women.

We are all perceived differently, definitely not the same. If this bothers you, and you doubt yourself over this, then you are doubting your innate spiritual value. What to do about it? You got to flow like water and make sure whatever you’re doing ultimately is serving to create balance rather than compensation. It’s a slippery slope too: because it’s easy to mix up what you’re doing: living for outside approval vs inner fulfillment and discover. If you believe you are perceived as physically unattractive by most people, just that belief itself can be harmful. Which people? All? And so what? Are you unable to do things you want because of it? What are those things? Why do you want to do them. Ultimately compensation for the outside leads to breaking integrity with yourself. That isn’t to say you shouldn’t take steps to evolve. You can absolutely work on your physical body and style. Radiating joy looks nice on anyone and everyone.

I think the rise of the online dating marketplace, social media and covid causing face-to-face isolation has created some of the fixation on external attributes as the only green flags for attraction. It is difficult to quantify charm, ease, playfulness and an unburdened demeanour without being with a woman in the flesh. And text? It lets you craft a nice version of yourself you can control, serving to soothe ones own anxiety around perception, but doing nothing to convey who you truly ARE. Robbing yourself of real connection.

This online bubble causes half the black pill issues: my looks are out of my control, genetics luck social hierarchy, this is out of my control. I have no power to change this so why try? People develop a belief of 'I am hopeless' and black pill serves to enhance that cognitive bias. 

The only way out is action in the real world to build up evidence that shit other than looks matters. But this doesn't always help does it? Because if you have the black pill cognitive bias you will actively disregard all evidence to the contrary and use intellect to cement the belief further. Looks/status can certainly serve to attract, but women will always look for the emotional connection as the lasting one. If you can create emotional connection, hold space, and encourage your prospect to engage in her own healthy expression of emotions, this will be enough to get results. Women thrive on emotions, just as men thrive on sex. In general.

I just feel so much compassion for men on apps. I think the apps can fuck off.
