It's not that much. If I had the money, I could do all of that within 2 years.
The money is the main issue.
Going to SEA to get laid as an incel-tier looking guy is a waste of money.
I'd have to fuck prostitutes even there.
It's more logical to spend money on looksmaxing, so you have a permanently enhanced quality of life/confidence basically.
If JBW was true, which I do not believe in, I'd have fun fucking these girls for 2 weeks. After these two weeks I'd go back having wasted all the money on that trip and I'd still look ugly.
At first, I'll looksmax to the core and only after that I'll try to ascend.
Trying to ascend with my current looks is a waste of time, energy and money.
