Learned Behavior
Tell me this… if the natural hypergamy of women is to choose the best mate and that translates to most women choosing the narcissist toxic assholes over “good guys” then explain how that fits into this study? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPOa_H7Em09/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== I think that women choosing the bad boy asshole is more of a learned behavior as Inuits choose the best hunters not the lazy hot guys that beat them… 100 years ago women valued good men and would stay away from players to avoid the social pressure of being labeled as used… But the invention of tv changed the socialization of girls from growing up watching the other women in their small town choose good men (the majority) to watching players and asshole get hyped up on tv and that has spread to become the societal normative… Serious non black pill question: is this hypergamous behavior or f girls going for the homeless hot male strippers and the drug dealing hamster rappers a learned behavior or a genetic propensity of hypergamy? Not saying hypergamy isn’t genetic but was hypergamy and social proof used to change social normatives of women?

I’d say two things are at play here: -People organically like being around good people. -People like being around attractive people, specially for dating. Growing up, I’d always be told I was a good smart guy, but women picked the frat player. Initially, I thought they liked his bad boy vibes (that they complained about). I ignored the obvious: They typically were also tall, handsome, fit, good logistics/parties at the frat house. Looking back, women TOLERATED his behavior because the attraction was that high. Not just women, let’s keep it real here, most guys would likely overlook a lot of bs if given the chance with a bonafide 9/10 (gorgeous face + banging body). Similarly, mane women tolerate bad behavior from Chads/high status men (ex. D1 ballplayer).
Retard Maxing
Have you ever seen someone that is borderline retarded have a confusing level of success in life? Or seen someone that is highly competent stuck in a hamster wheel of “thinking about their next move”… In business I am a full blown retard and will take immediate action on opportunities and figure things out as I go, worrying about perfection down the line. However my past partners have been stuck in indecision halting any progress from taking place while people with less funding and even less brain cells see success and beat us to market with inferior products… This is my number one pet peeve when it comes to doing business with anyone is their ability to take risks and make shit happen with no guarantee of an outcome and without full understanding of every aspect of an opportunity. In my personal life I am the opposite, I spent 2 years going through the book list for MOA (adding about 10 more books and hundreds of hours of other videos from Owen cook, Tai Lopez, etc) I only recently started taking action on my IG while building a highly selective list with a VA I trained to make lists organized by location over the last few years. I started this course before this was a skool server (discord) and my biggest regret is that I didn’t take action on my IG sooner… Had I applied my blind retard faith to doing the steps and figuring out all the details later I’d be a lot closer to my goals… What experiences have you guys had with competence max vs retard maxing?

I think it’s a mixture. For instance, in business if you are exceptionally good, it may actually make more sense to be very risk-taking since you’ll have the talent to milk the upside and mitigate downside. It goes downhill faster if you have no underlying talent. Datingwise, I have seen that typically work with Chads or high status guys. If women find them attractive, they’ll write off a faux pass as “I love how he is not afraid to be silly with me” and when it lands you’ll be the man who goes after what he wants (within reason). However, imo if they find you unattractive, you largely don’t get the same passes. I think of it like this: Ronaldo is talented enough where trying to dribble past 3 and score makes sense many times, the average player should pass and move.
Would this be leading with money?
Let's say you make enough to afford leaving in a nice house, with a swimming pool and more space than you actually need. Instead of looking for someone who has a nice place, you could just invite friends to your place (I actually did this yesterday, it was 5 guys and 25-30 girls). Would you say that this figures as leading with money? Would it be a bad thing in your opinion? What happened yesterday is that everyone that was arriving was coming to me (nice social proof) to say hello, thanks, or just for quick intro (like a friend invited more girls, and while they were coming he was introducing them to me). What do you think about it?

@Yvam Nessyma I hear you man. From what you describe, it doesn’t sound like you came across as leading with $.

@David Gai Yeah I’d be cautious with that, specially if family is in the picture in your goals. Obviously we have a burden of performance, but you want who, when push comes to shove will be there if things go South. That’s why i discourage leading with $ since those who come because of it are more likely to bail when you take a dip.
Cold Approach at Events
I went to the Teatro LA event this past Friday in LA. I felt like I was in a movie looking at all the girls with their fake lips and tits. There were real girls there too with natural beauty. Every time I'm in Hollywood I see beautiful women; it's a sign for me to move to LA. I currently live in Huntington Beach. I didn't meet any new girls. I met a few new MOA guys, which was cool. I also saw Owen Cook picking up some girls. It quickly became apparent that I still need to cold approach at these events. Opening strangers still feels like I'm hitting on them and bothering them. My mind creates big mental blockers especially after working in my room all week. This is one of my biggest sticking points. Thoughts?

@Michael Hill Oh yeah communication is huge. I guess my idea in point 3 is that for instance, when my looks were worse and I had litte interesting things going on, I got a lot more instant rejections and less attention. Once I looksmaxed, I got warmer receptions, so it became easier to truly be confident, then by having a more interesting life, i was able to have a more interesting convos and that translated to true confidence.

What income would you consider entry-level rich?
Just curious since social media and out realities may shape perception.

@Cesar Sahagun Probably even less tbh. I want to say in 2018 (so likely it creeped some), $60kish USD put you in the top 1% of income earners. Even from friends I know $40k-$50k pesos is considered cush upper middle class specially outside Mexico City. You are from Guadalajara right? Beautiful but know there and Monterrey are the big 3 and pricey from my time there.
