I'm a looksmaxed low-SMV male with a successful career and a wide social circle full of attractive, successful people. Here's how men treat me compared to how women treat me.

I'm 24, 5'6", bald, have a lean, muscular body, make six figures and have a wide social circle filled with successful people I met from work, through friends of friends and through hobbies like co-ed sports. I spent my adolescence drinking, taking drugs and partying. I'm also a kissless virgin who was both actively and non-actively seeking sex and relationships up until last year, depending on what situation I was in. This is the kind of the guy I am. This is important for what you're about to read. I'm basically your typical looksmaxed low SMV male.

Most people in my social circle, I'd say 1 in 8, are men. I've noticed that with men, even the more handsome and taller men, genuinely like you for you if you're low SMV, as long as you're smart, witty and aren't socially retarded. They'll look past me being short and bald and are happy to keep me around.

Women, on the other hand, are a different story. Whenever they cross paths with a low-SMV male, it's personal. They'll call me creepy. A murderer in the making. They wish I didn't exist. Look at me. I'm smart, successful, socially savvy and act like I don't give a fuck about anything. I'm not some social doormat. I'll initiate conversations no problem and love to tease and poke fun at anyone, even just lightly. But because of my appearance, I've never been seen in a remotely sexual light. Since women get hounded and asked out all the time, they've got their pick of the litter of decently attractive guys no matter who they are as long as they're not deformed or obese.

I've been your typical beta orbiter in the past, but once I got away from their toxic friendships, they'll ostracize me and actively avoid me since I'm no longer useful to them.

Now about the whole looksmaxing thing. Was it worth it? I'd say yes. If I was just your typical little bald guy, I wouldn't have a decent social circle at all. I probably wouldn't have had a decent job, either. I have to push myself to my limits in terms of appearance and personality to not be ostracized from society. I have to keep running to stay in the same place. But any tall, handsome, skinny-fat man can just throw on a shirt and sweatpants and be adored for being tall and handsome.
