A while ago it was brought up the joyful circumstances of numerous commentors here being married or in some other form of relationship. Some even had kids.
Question for you all, how hard is it nowadays to be in one (relationship), or get in one? The red pill media has, over the years, become very black pilled and sensationalist on the subject. Granted, with ever increasing feminism and a decrease in tolerance for male behavior I have noticed it getting a lot harder out there... but ia it anywhere near as bad as they say?
While we are at it, what the hell does everyone do for fun in the real world? Prices have gone sky high in America, especially rent and housing, and over the years I have noticed less and less people go out, especially those in their 20s and 30s. I like to hike and explore so sitting at home doing nothing but play video games, read and watch tv drivers me nuts after a while. Granted, society seems less friendly and more shut in nowadays anyways. Still, there must be some clubs or whatever that people do for fun, even if not as frequently as ye olden times.
See, I don't think this is anywhere near as narrow of a situation as you define it. Take for example your point of "genetics and factors outside your control."
You're talking about being short. Let's be real, that's what it is.
Women aren't nearly as visual creatures as men are, they're much more about status and means. That's hardwired into them regardless of NPC programming. To amplify that, men have a narrower range of physical attractiveness than women, there are less outliers in either direction. Which incidentally I suspect is why so many male celebrities look exactly the fuckin same.
This is why you see ugly mother fuckers like Russel Brandt banging Katy Perry. Because women value status and see sex as more transactional than men. He didn't marry her and she makes way more than him, but he still got a year of tapping that.
Short guys are at a disadvantage because it literally is a functional disability for a man. Hence status loss, hence hard to snag chicks.
But that doesn't mean you can't look good, keep yourself in shape, be well groomed etc. There's factors outside your control and then there's just missing out on free points.
A lot of people think you can career your way to high SMV. The problem is, a lot of what makes someone successful is also down to genes, inherited traits, personality is half genetic, wealth from your parents, IQ, even height - men six foot and over make up fourteen percent of the population but make up over half the CEO's. The halo effect where physically attractive people get preferential treatment over their unattractive peers also comes into play. People prefer being around attractive people.
There are a lot more variables at play than just merely "just work bro" easy platitudes that red pill life coaches love to say.
There are always exceptions to the rule but that doesn't invalidate the rule. For example, homosexual people exist but because we know they exist, it doesn't suddenly invalidate the concept that people are on average heterosexual. As I say, there are many variables at play. In your example, you may not consider Brand attractive but I bet there are many women who would find him physically attractive and will have traits most of us won't have. It's also why he is in the position he has been in his adult life that most of us never will.
Nothing particularly to argue with here, but Brandt looks like a raccoon and a capouchin monkey got into a fight and rolled into a cloning machine. He's ugly, even for a Britbong.
But he has self confidence. And women really can't tell the difference.
That's the problem with a lot of red pills types. They conflate alphafux and betabux, often with the intention of selling you something. A man's career doesn't do jack shit for his SMV. It does quite a bit for his RMV, but attracting women with RMV is a good way to get divorce raped. The only real advice is become Chad or don't play at all. Escorts and geomaxxing are an option for not playing at all if monk mode is unfeasible or undesirable.
