Another question:
Looking back now that you've gotten laid and feel way better - How much, in all honesty, has it been mental and NOT due to your looks?
I mean in the sense that one one hand I hear stories about guys like you who have tried for years, paid for PUA stuff, have done thousands of approaches, have been social etc. yet no luck which in turn leads to the red pill/black pill mentality of "it's over" or "it's all genetics" etc. (all that good stuff lol).
For example, in a recent CBP channel video he told a story of a depressed guy who tried to carefully develop an image of a successful, popular guy, got along with the cool crowd, yet did not have any luck with women even though he was popular etc. Therefore he realized that it MUST be only looks, It MUST be genetic and over etc.
Like dude, I KNOW guys who look WORSE than you and still have never had any major issues with getting girls. Stories about guys who become slayers after getting cosmetic surgery etc.
I actually have a similar story as in I've had fairly good friends, both male and female yet I've never had any romantic experiences.
NORMAL looking guys like you (no, you're not ugly) and me. Hell, even better looking guys get into that mentality.
HOWEVER
On the other hand I see guys Domics, a pretty popular asian youtube animator who is freaking 5 ft 3, chubby, not so good looking, not "based and redpilled alpha chad bro" etc. yet still has normal, decent girfriends etc. People like Vaush, normal people around me etc. Hell, even people like Squirmy and Grubs (who people assume are faking it lol, but you never know).
What gives? Like... Really?
What if a lot of it IS cultural? What if a lot of the red pill, black pill, blue pill etc. IS both true AND also confirmation bias?
I just wanted your opinion since you seem like a guy who really, really made it and keeps "making it".
