//It's just that sometimes it's not enough and looks are pretty important for women

An obvious counter-point to that are the millions of short/bald/ugly/whatever guys who are married and have kids.

FWIW, women are turned off by guys who are gross and don't take care of themselves. A guy who intentionally makes the best of what he's got is already ahead.

It's a counterpoint only if you don't understand statistics at all.

Sure, there are millions of short/bald guys married to women. Out of billions.

Getting married isn't a random event like a coin landing on heads... You can bias the outcome pretty much 100% through variables under your control like fitness, neatness, personality, sanity, earning power.

No, not 100%.

I've already outlined a number of things that are not under one's control.

We don't have to keep going in circles. You're free to disagree.

there are millions of short bald guys who are married just in the US.

I can think of, just off the top of my head, like 3+ guys I used to work with.

More like 6 if you include friends and my barber.

the "I need Looksmaxxing" my appearance is everything screams "I am an incel and can only date supermodels, who seem to reject me"

Victim blaming and not understanding how statistics work.

You're a real catch!
