If you haven't won the genetic lottery as a man, wouldn't trying to attract women as average man just be waste of time?
I recently came across another post asking men who have woman throwing themselves at them what did they do to get there, and the main thing that stuck out to me in the comment section is winning the genetic lottery as most important factor.
As a man myself, I've observed men who essentially won the genetic lottery (and are very attractive individuals) notice how easy it was for them to get women. Literally barely any effort from their part aside from just existing.
When I see women compliment these men, asking them to have their babies, or asking them to marry them, or saying how gorgeous they are, literally obsessing over them, it makes me wonder as average man, if I'm not getting those kinds of reactions from women no matter how much I hit the gym, style, etc.. then why waste effort on women at all?
I don't know about other men, yea sure you can ideally self improve and hit the gym, and maybe women might be slightly more interested in you than before. But compared to the attention attractive men get it almost feels discouraging because as average or below average looking men, you will never get that burning desire from women like those men do.
