Appearance, however, forms the first impression that you must struggle to overcome if you’re average or below average. In meat-markets like bars, tinder, and dating sites, few women want, or need, to look much further than your looks.
It’s also legitimately dangerous to flirt at work - a place where we might spend enough time with a woman to get past appearances and into personalities - because a single misunderstanding due to poor flirting skills can lose you your job.
Obligatory disclaimer that I’m not trying to downplay how much women can be harassed at work, on the street, in the bar, on messaging apps, etc.
- true_religion 6y agoIt’s a big world, and you must remember that you are the heir to a long lineage of sexual success stories stretching back to the dawn of time. Most people can be attractive to someone somewhere with a mild amount of effort, it’s just that they don’t put in that effort. I’ll also add, that in the modern world it’s difficult to realize what you need to do to be attractive since social mores aren’t so rigid anymore and thus most people develop their own ideas about how to signal interest and disinterest.
- falcolas 6y ago> you must remember that you are the heir to a long lineage of sexual success stories stretching back to the dawn of time. Sexual encounters need not be evenly distributed among attractiveness levels for a species to succeed. One mating pair can, fairly easily, replace in excess of 6-8 non-breeding individuals. More, if you switch from monogamy to polyamory. In a way, evolution relies upon evenly distributed mating not happening.
