1) No point focusing on the specific details of what women want. Not only is it somewhat subjective, and not only does it vary age to age (a 20 year old looks for different things than a 40 year old), but it's so complex and vast as to be best summed up by a single word 'everything.' They want height, looks, wealth, confidence, status, humour, etc etc. More is more. The more good qualities you possess the better. People who say, 'just be confident, bro' or 'just shower' or some other reductive trite statement are stupid.

2) No point focusing on what women say they want, what men tell you they want, what you think they want, or face analysis or anything else. There's only 1 true test: how women behave towards you. Do they smile at you, touch you, flirt with you, and go on dates with you? Yes, you're attractive. No, you're unattractive. Easy and accurate.

3) Women will settle for a man with some weak traits (bit short, low income, nervous or shy, etc) so long as they are compensated for by a highly positive trait, well above average (great confidence can balance out a slightly below average face; great wealth can compensate for being only 5'7; being tall can mitigate against a degree of fat; being handsome will make being poor ok; etc etc). The problem is that what is allowed to compensate for what varies woman to woman, and even with the same woman month to month, so that it appears almost random. Some women will settle for a tall but fat man, some won't. Some will settle for a broke but confident man, some won't. And you can never predict. The one thing remains the same - compensation needs to be really big. That's the case with summoning popular actors, who happen to be short as the sign that short men don't have it harder.

4) Although it's virtually impossible to predict, then, what will make you attractive to women, it is possible to assess what will make you unattractive. There are two main things: having weaknesses without any compensating positives (so if you're average looks, average income, average social skills, below average height, bit fat, lacking confidence- everything is average or below); or, worse, having an extreme negative (really fat, really short, really ugly, really bad hygiene, homeless, zero social skills, etc). These are hard barriers to dating that will make it very, very hard for you.

5) Dating relies on the Matthew effect, same as economics. If you have, more will be given. If you don't have, even that will be taken from you. If you get early dating success, then you'll get confidence, which will lead to more success, which leads to better social skills and game etc. But if you get early rejections, you'll lose confidence, then get rejected more, become depressed, isolated, mentally ill, fall behind in social development and it'll just keep getting worse. Sometimes the entire difference between a great life and a miserable life can be traced back to being first rejected by a girl when 14 years old.

6) There are no easy fixes. Everything is hard, or virtually impossible. Want to change your height? Good luck with that. Want to get a ripped body? Possible, but very hard. Want to get confidence? You can only do that from success, and success requires confidence. Starting some hustle or studymaxxing? It probably should have started if you were a kid, so it's probably too late or almost impossible. Wicked problem. Anyone selling an easy answer, whether looksmaxxing or PUA game, is scamming you.

7) Going without your normal, natural, basic psychological needs for validation, touch, sex, friendship, procreation, intimacy, etc unfulfilled is going to leave you with chronic emotional loneliness, depression, body dysmorphia, bitterness, anger, and mental illness. Those who say that you don't need women, just focus on yourself, you're better off alone, etc, are foolng themselves and lying to you. Sooner or later the loneliness will drive you mad.

8) Blaming women, biology, society, politics, feminism is a waste of time in terms of fixing our situation. It doesn't matter what was the reason, as only the final effect is important. Not only that in reality the reasons are all far more complex that such a simple statement allows, but there's nothing you can do to change anything. However, responding accordingly to the situation we were put in is reasonable thing to do.

9) No matter how many positive traits you have, how put together you are, there will always be loads of other men who outcompete you. There will always be someone taller, more handsome, more charismatic than you. And there will always be someone who is at the right time and place having a better day than you. Women will always have better options than you somewhere at sometime. It also goes onto all other fields, such as studymaxxing, gymmaxxing, etc, especially as we start from the rock bottom. There is every single time someone better nearby.

10) No matter how awesome you are, women will always be able to outperform you in dating. A really high quality man will still not be able to get dates and sex as easily as an average or even below average woman. Their ability to date and their body count , if they want will always be higher and better than yours. And that will likely make you jealous, bitter, and resentful at how unfair it all is.
