trying to placate these boys with cope along the lines of "don't worry, eventually some 35 year old will like you for who you are" is just laughable
They don’t need placating, the movement needs laughing at until they step away from the tren and start acting like men.
Young lads (and girls, let’s be honest) have always been horny and dumb, most of them grow up to the point they’re horny and less dumb. On the way you’ll get your heart broken a few times, get rejected a LOT and maybe get lucky a bit. That’s life. Nobody owes any of us anything, boys or girls.
Nobody’s going to like you for who you are if who you are is some vain twat smashing your bones with a hammer and taking steroids to get that gym look while simultaneously loathing . We were all just as shy, stupid, spotty, gangly, young and awkward, and eventually most of us got laid at some point.
Looksmaxxing is stupid, and yet I do have a huge amount of sympathy for younger people because all the places and situations previous generations met partners in are changed or gone. There don’t seem to be mixed friend groups, very few go to church, you can’t flirt at work or you’ll get reprimanded.
That’s the problem - this artificial commodification of the whole process of pairing up. It used to be that you’d meet as friends, you’d kind of get a feel for each other and after a while you’d maybe ask someone out. To get there you’d need to have a lot of social interaction which comes with its own skills and feedbacks. Now that’s gone and all that’s left is this yes/no instant stuff, swiping, tinder profiles etc. It takes all the human interaction out and leaves people picking on traits simply like looks. You get show a picture, (like some kind of ambassador showed up with a picture of the kings younger son done by Holbein) and you choose on looks. So they put huge importance on looks. Looks are nice, but they’re not a substitute for a personality.
