And this is something I want to pound into people like FF's heads since that Black Pill thread. Failing to land a romantic/sexual relationship with someone is because of lack of skills, lack of opportunity, lack of self-confidence, lack of self-esteem, fear of rejection, being too safe, being too focused on specific types of people that aren't compatible with you, etc. Many reasons. Not having exceptionally good looks, however, is not generally one of them.
Sure, if you are an exceptionally good looking man, you will probably have far more sex and flings than your typical guy. And maybe far more success in general. But being average looking isn't the curse that Black Pillers make it out to be. The real curse is what's often associated with having average looks: the stuff I mentioned in my previous paragraph. Yes, it's partly luck, because you have to put yourself out there and be in the right places at the right time. And you have to get out of your comfort zone, which can be quite stressful. But if you want a relationship, and especially if you're a guy, you have to do some work on yourself and how you interact with other people. I'm not even talking just about the stereotypical incels at this point.
The majority of my posts have been about ugly people,not average looking people. The kind of people who have very good interaction skills, put themselves out a lot, but are told they are ugly by people. Perhaps that's the disconnect here.
My use of the word "average" is intentional. I don't believe in the "ugly person dilemma" when it comes to relationships.
But let's have some concrete examples. Can you give examples of the type of people you're talking about? I mean celeb examples. Is Steve Buscemi ugly? Is Gladys Berejiklian ugly (you can find images of her on Google)?
