If someone thinks you're hot the first thing out of your mouth, on an app DOES NOT MATTER. You can literally say "Hello, I'm ___ nice to meet you." If they think you're hot they will keep talking to you. If they do not, it doesn't matter what you say.

Why is this good advice? Incels say you should looksmax so that everyone thinks you're hot, but that's the stupidest advice ever. Women are constantly asked about who they think is hot by RESEARCHERS and the answer is the same every time: It depends. Men tend to cluster around the same type of women a bit more, but I'd argue that it depends for them too.

The reality is that someone, somewhere will find you hot, without any changes to your looks or personality.

Your goal isn't to craft the perfect message, make the perfect profile, wear the perfect clothes, do pushups, get surgery. If you do that you'll actually become MORE insecure because you're constantly obsessing about how awful you look. And that will make it harder to find love because you will be more hesitant to be yourself in public around people who would like that.

If you do the above, what you're actually doing is trying to fend off rejection, instead of chasing success. Because you can't date everyone. It's not physically possible. And ironically, no matter how much work you do on yourself, TONS of people still won't like you, not because you failed, but because they just like different things. Instead of seeing that for what it is, the world being a big and diverse place, you will internalize it as a personal failure and you'll be like that weird monk in The Davinci code who beats himself with a mace in private because he was a bad bad boy.

Your goal is to literally just go out into the world, be proud of who you are, and do stuff you like. You will run into someone who likes the same things and likes you and thinks you're hot. And... if you're okay with being rejected by a lot of people romantically, you just see it as you're not their cup of tea, you will be proud of yourself, outgoing, and you'll find someone who is like "holy shit where have you been my whole life."

And you didn't do one situp. You didn't learn a new makeup routine. You didn't buy a cool car.

You just said, hey maybe I am actually hot and cool. Maybe people do like me. Maybe I'm fine the way I am.

And someone else out there said, no you're not just fine, you're amazing I want to date you.

Also my parents (when I turned out a passionate leftist who doesn’t believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis) :

First of, apologies for clickbaiting you, but I do mostly think this.

Grimdark Scifi & Nazi Propaganda are very similar in some key aspects that you should absolutely know.

Grimdark Universes are beset by war. War is a fundamental constant. Because of that people need to fight. In order to fight, you need: controlled economies, rulers (supreme leader), nationalism (NAzi), a common enemy (immigrants), and some ideology to base that around (weaponized religion, us v them, a way of life that justifies terror and torture.)

Warhammer 40k is really interesting. The concept of chaos gods fueled by human emotion, how armies can conscript galaxy sized militaries, detective work in a world of near infinite size and information, futuristic warfare, morals and codes. It's all fascinating but...

It always ends in "we needed to wipe an entire city off of the map because _____". Which you have to justify by saying "It was only the enemy we killed." Which you have to justify by saying "They are our enemy because ____." Now you'd say wait that's pretty close to real life, and yes it can be but there's one key difference between the grimdark world and the real world.

There are no realistic alliances. There's no art. No music. No culture. And that is TOTALLY what fascism in the real world needs as well.

In 40k there's no scene where people relax and go see a movie and think about that in their downtime. There's no scene where the arts and culture department is running out of funding because people just aren't into bauhaus era comedy any more and they need to change what kind of art they're producing so more people show up.

The only art is like yeah this cool alpha male war nerd who is cloned from the balls of a skeleton 4 million years ago writes poetry about blowing the arms off of Xenos (xenophobe?) while he's not lifting weights and oiling guns.

Like c'mon. That guy NEVER wrote any breakup poetry? He never posted on some incel forum and went viral and got clowned on by all of his squadmates?

Once you add culture into things, well life gets a bit more bearable and then people are like hey why are we fighting so much again? Could we maybe get healthcare? Or food or something? Maybe we could make an alliance with the xenos? You stop skeletonizing our supreme leaders and we stop blowing your arms off for poetic effect?

Sure sure cool. That works and NO--- THIS IS GRIMDARK

OUR EMPEROR RULES FOR 1 MILLION EONS ON A LIFE SUPPORT THRONE. OUR SOLDIERS ARE CLONED FROM HIM AND LIVE AND DIE TO WAGE HOLY WAR IN HIS NAME. WE HAVE INQUISITIONS TO MAKE SURE EVERY SOLDIER IS HOLY AND HAS NEVER STRAYED FROM HOLY WAR. WAR WAR HOLY HOLY LORD LORD LORD HOLY LORD HOLY YEAH HOLY WOO BLOOD GUTS.

Fascism always tries to remove culture and replace it with one that supports the powerful at the expense of immigrants. While doing that it subjects the people to eternal strife, eternal war, eternal conflict either through actual war or through punishingly brutal labor in a grey and soulless world. But culture reigns supreme. It's in our blood, in our hearts and minds. We create it despite our desire not to. That cringe video your friend posted in middle school that went viral, that's culture. That time you broke up with your ex and decided actually maybe not all [gender] is toxic and crazy, maybe it's me... that's culture. The stupid name you call your dog, yeah sorry bro that's culture as hell.
