God fucking damn wouldn't that be nice. I can never forgive socjus for taking fat girls away from me.
The chubby girl with the neat hobbies willing to go out camping and drive around till 2AM before going to Denny's for coffee for 3 hours is gone, and I feel really bad for them.
But yeah, that's basically the gist. If you're just looking to pick up someone from the bar to get laid, you have to realize where your personality and looks are gonna rank relative to other people. Yeah, Chads get the Staceys - so you either become Chad, or you set your sights lower. Or you do something else, like you fucking kill it at karaoke and have charisma maxed out by religiously throwing yourself onto the stage.
Have a fucking personality helps. What these guys miss is that Chad goes out and does shit. He's got a personality beyond "Rawr, big dick energy" and the incels miss it. Funny thing is, most Chads are more pleasant to be around than the incels. Mr. Incel tells you he doesn't want to go out drinking on your birthday, he wants to stay home and play Super Smash. Six hours later Chad is sitting next to you in the cell going "Wow, she didn't look like no cop. Banging rack though." and the next day is telling the other Chads and the Staceys "So she was all 'You boys want some fun!' and we're like 'How much to see them titties?' and then like 50 cops jumped out of dumpsters and arrested us! It was funnier than hell! Tasers fucking hurt, yo." and everyone laughs.
All every incel I've ever met sees is that Chad supposedly gets all these women with no effort. No learning how to wear expensive clothing or keeping up on styles, no practicing social skills, no busting their ass to earn money for those cars and the drinks and the clothes. Nope, Chad just was born rich and the pussy fairy shows up and hands it all to him.
The kinds of guys who fume over 'women don't have to do NEAR as much as I do' are the ones who're either going to troon out or cut out the middleman and 41%. You've got the hand you were dealt, play it. Kvetching gets nowhere.
And anyone who thinks women don't do anything has never been in a long term relationship or anything like that.
The old joke of the guy getting dressed to go out to dinner and the woman taking 3 hours is based on reality. That's even discounting the fact that any woman you meet, by virtue of being a woman, is someone with years of experience in one of the most cut-throat social groups ever where just the wrong fucking earrings can sink your social status.
What's funny is you have the bitter women who claim the same things as incels about the "Staceys", only out of social jealousy rather than sexual jealousy.
It's a messy process that involves a lot of failing miserably and randomly remembering a really bad pickup attempt you made years in the future and having a laugh about it. There's messages I remember sending, shit I remember doing, and things I said that are embarrassingly retarded, but that's just a part of the process. You can go from winning an impossible scenario to spilling spaghetti on a free-throw.
Oh man, nothing like having your friends tease you about a date that went sideways years down the line. One of my old friends STILL teases me about a date I had where I pushed in the lighter for her to light a cigarette, it popped out, went down her top, and that was the end of that date.
I've also noticed a lot of incels (and femcels) can't seem to handle it when they don't get their way or immediately get what they
think they deserve. The slightest setback, the slightest disagreement, is the end of the fucking world for these people. They act like a bad date is the end of the universe, the person they like saying "not tonight, maybe later?" is because that person hates them, shit like that.
And honestly, who wants to be with someone that the slightest setback or disagreement is the end of the world? You can't have a life and a family with someone like that. If every little setback results in a childish tantrum with a side of "the worlds hates me" can you really see being with that person through everything that happens in a relationship? How are they going to act to getting laid off or denied a promotion? How are they going to act when the baby won't sleep for a week straight and you're stumbling around on 2 hours of sleep a night? How are they going to react when the teacher tells them that their kid keeps doing some shit in school that is resulting in them getting teased?
Learning how to deal with failure, rejection, and spinning your wheels is part of life and dating is just a reflection of that.
Lots of guys, especially guys that aren't conventionally attractive or guys that aren't neurotypical, seem to have this thing with not liking that chaos. They think there's, like... tried-and-true methods, that there's a flowchart you follow - that you can speedrun the process, basically. They want to do research, not field work. And this makes them suckers for easy answers. When I was becoming a strapping young lad, it was The Game that every guy was trying to follow, convinced it was the bible of scoring chicks. I'm sure there will be something else after this modern moment of incels; every generation of women and men approach fundamentally different dating scenes and scenarios, so it's obvious to anyone with a brain that there are no cheat codes. Because that binary flag of whether you're a virgin or not HAS to be tripped asap, so you start adopting any easy answer to alleviate feelings of 'failure' rather than realizing that failure's an inbuilt feature of the human existence, and it ain't so bad. And that just builds over the years, all those easy answers - it's like eating nothing but fast food. No good for you.
Ugly guys, autistic guys, dumb guys - whatever it is, the answer's easy. Do you want to get laid? Fix your fucking diet, exercise, and pick up a hobby. Stop playing games all the damn time - read a book, learn to draw, pick up an instrument, learn a language, learn to code, just do something that isn't braindead leisure. Keep your standards realistic. And my personal advice? As soon as you can once this pandemic is over, look for an open mic in your neck of the woods that you're old enough to attend. Get up on that stage, and fucking bomb. Fail miserably. Fail to get a single laugh or a single chuckle. Waste the audience's time completely. Just don't leave the stage - do a full, awful set. It'll be embarrassing and shitty and awful... and yet you'll realize that you're still alive, and none the worse for wear. Now you know what it's like to be the center of attention, doing poorly, and how little it actually affects you to be in that state, viola. I mean, ffs, there are people who make their whole schtick that bad jokes. Their entire act is not being funny. And those people get laid. [/SPOILER]
You need to do things that actually help you grow a pair if you want someone else to fondle 'em. Rejection won't kill you, and it can make for some funny stories.
OH ALSO EDIT, dating aps are cancer. avoid if possible
As an ugly guy, I've found out that having lived life and done shit got me further than anything else.
Go out and do shit so you can sit around laughing about the shit you did in life that doesn't start off with "So I was playing WoW" unless the story has a major fucking twist in it.
To quote an old friend: "Bitches love stories. Tell that bitch a story while you have drinks."
