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

I think black pill is ultimately a loser’s belief system. If you want to argue in favor of your limitations, you will be allowed to keep them. No one is saying to bury your head in the ground like an ostrich. If you are perceived as unattractive by many people then you already probably know this. You’re not denying anything by not wanting to hold onto a belief system that crystallizes your shortcomings.

@Globalcollective I assume Leo is blackpill in the sense of;
you will never become as conscious as someone like Sadhguru or Ralston by doing the practices they teach, that's a result of their freak genetics.

Did you see Matthew Walker’s recent transformation? He’s the famous sleep expert, but obviously he did something  

 

Not sure if these are before and after photos... but he's actually a bit more attractive in the first picture.

He has a more Masculine and mature-looking face in the first one compared to the second one where he looks a bit mismatched between his hair and his stubble, the glasses don't suit his face, and he looks a bit more youthful and Feminine.

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.

Perhaps it's not my place to make such a comment (meaning that I'm not trying to be creepy), but you're not a bad looking guy. 

So, I don't think you have anything to worry about in the looks department. Plenty of women your age will find your appearance sufficiently attractive.

And women are much more attuned to personality qualities anyway. Looks are just the first threshold of consideration.

Like for myself, probably about 60% or more of men in my age bracket are sufficiently physically attractive to consider them for dating. But my attractions are more based around chemistry... and that will only happen with maybe 1/10th or less of that 60%.

So, the looks bar has to be crossed for an attraction to be there... but the rest of it is personality and chemistry, which isn't really something that can be learned. It's just showing up as you are as a person in a social setting and interacting authentically.

And some women will just take a shine to you... though women often hide their attractions for fear of coming across as weird. So, it may not be super obvious. But it will happen if you socialize frequently with women.

I say this to say that your looks will not be a factor in holding you back from finding a girlfriend... nor will any deficit of dating techniques. The only things that will hold you back are a lack of authentic socialization and/or being closed down to intimacy building interactions. 

Once you cross a woman's bar for sufficient physical attractiveness, the other qualities you have as a person will do most of the legwork if there is chemistry and you're a good match for her.

You're also literally in one of the worst cities in the world to end up blackpiled by women.
No girl who loves nature, gardening, etc would ever consider moving to Las Vegas; the same goes for sporty girls, intellectual girls etc.

To even think about moving to a big city full of casinos in the middle of the desert, you have to have a particular very orange imagination, and girls will automatically reflect that back.

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

You still need social proof and basic social skills to do quite well even if you’re good-looking. It’s necessary but not sufficient. I’m fairly handsome and I slept with very few women before age 22 and learning game, but the ones I slept with were about equal to me looks wise.  It’s like gravity and hard to beat but if you never take any swings or swing with wrong technique, you’ll still do poorly even with gravity on your side.

There are also normal people just from Vegas. It’s a metropolitan city that’s not that expensive. Moving to LA or Seattle or NY without the wealth to live comfortably will black-pill you more.

Of course, I mean in terms of proportion.

There are plenty of cheaper major cities in the United States.

Economic conditions aside (which means that you do indeed find every type of person everywhere in varying proportions), why would someone settle in Las Vegas rather than Salt Lake City, Denver, Nashville, Atlanta, or any other city?

It's not about beauty, since it's one of the ugliest cities imaginable.

It's not about nature, since it's a desert.

It's not about food, since there isn't any.

So, as you yourself say, people settle there because it's not too expensive and there are lots of clubs and casinos; in other words, very orange-tinted concerns.

So you're essentially going to encounter people like that; your perception of people reflects your choices.

Sadhguru is who he is because he's been very well-trained in yoga since he was a child.
Leo talks a lot about genetics because, for some reason, he has trouble understanding that people can have radically different life paths, which therefore lead to different personalities.
In his latest video, he can't seem to grasp that many people genuinely enjoy wine (less than 100 years ago, children over 6 could drink wine in the school cafeteria, lol). He's like, "If I don't like it, then others are just pretending to conform."

@The Blind Sage yeah I agree with all that for sure. There is some truth to it with dating too, but generally black pill ideology is very toxic, maybe he just means the nuances of it.
