Welcome! This is a forum for involuntary celibates: people who lack a significant other. Are you lonely and wish you had someone in your life? You're not alone! Join our forum and talk to people just like you.
One might be concerned that those who spend more time gaming do so because they have fewer other opportunities, which themselves may be affected by their looks
If I had an invitation to a party where there would be friends, and lots of beautiful women who were happy to see me and wanted me, I would be there. I wouldn't be grinding some dwemer ruin in Skyrim.
I don't really know why I care... but for some reason it is always good to see these university sociology nerds finally recognize some basic truth that has been obvious for a long time.
I’m 6’0 and white with blond hair and blue eyes but I’m fugly and autistic and have the bmi of an anorexic girl and I’m built like a femboy, not one has ever pointed out my height and blond hair and blue eyes except for other males because unfortunately I seem to attract lots of male attention and virtually no female attention of any kind, another guy literally touched my dick once and I had to let him do it because he was stronger than me
I’ve been trying to but I rarely have any energy and I can’t even get the motivation to eat enough, let alone regularly work out, being unwanted ruined my confidence and caused me to lose motivation to do anything tbh

pretty much, I remember being called cute as a young kid, and I basically stopped being seen as cute around the time everyone was having their first kisses
This right here is a prime example of sometimes why all these autistic studies, spending hours collecting data is completely useless, and frankly a sign of low intelligence
The people doing the study its their job yeah
But if you really need a study to see and understand this shit you are low IQ
Obviously less attractive people will play online games more and attractive people will play them less, this is why IT'ers and Bluepillers are mega retards.
I didn't go to a funeral of my foid classmate who got hit by a car because I wanted to play gothic 3. Not to detract from your point, just remembered this from my childhood
At least you were invited, when my one IRL foid acquaintance died I was only told about it because my dad heard about it on facebook and if there were any events related to it I wasn't told
Contrasting Figures 1a and 1b to the brutal and infamous OKCupid charts, I conclude this "method" of asscessing physical attractiveness is not satisfactory and shakes the foundation of this research paper. You make your own conclusion, but bare in mind that the "field interviewer", they never state anything about (was it a man giving the ratings, a woman? Not enough details when you are aware of the social pressures that can influence the subjective ratings that were given, Hawthorne effect and the such).
This is just funny. Even in the bluepilled American Add Health data, the blackpill can be observed in the attractiveness distribution, seriously, like imagine. Absolutely jfl at how easy it is to be perceived as an attractive woman. Just be young and exist and you're a 7/10 woman theory (at least to some men like the "field interviewer").
Re-reading this part, it just occurred to me that if they found a relationship already this clear despite either a man, or someone pathologically kind and bluepilled, and quite likely someone who was both of those things, doing the ratings, just imagine how strong of an effect the study would find if the interviewer was a woman.

Right? As if chad is going to be stuck to a gaming screen, lost in a fantasy world, when he could be living out the fantasies other people have just by going out into town on a weekend.
I don't really know why I care... but for some reason it is always good to see these university sociology nerds finally recognize some basic truth that has been obvious for a long time.
That kind of bullshit happens a lot in academia where very obvious things get a study. Everyone knows something is true, but they do it for the funding and publication anyway, because they want to have their names in journals for future prospects.

The report author even makes it clear he's talking about opportunity cost.
If Chad wants to stay at home on Saturday night and progress the Thieves' Guild questline, the opportunity cost to him is that he has to say "no thanks" to a house party where he would almost certainly be able to take his pick of multiple hot women who want to fuck him.
If I stay home on Saturday night to progress the Thieves' Guild questline, the opportunity cost to me is that I won't be able to spend that time watching nerd shit on YouTube or doomscrolling on here.

His opportunity cost for engaging in our copes is much higher, so naturally it's expected that chad is far less likely to share and participate in the hobbies that incels would. A tall, good looking man who chooses to stay indoors and play video games is almost like aberrant behavior.

Funnily enough, a couple of the young engineers I work with / supervise are like that, or at least they seem to live in both worlds.
Both of them are fitness Chads with stunning hot girlfriends, both of them have busy social calendars and are forever going to live music or their friends' parties.
But then, they frequently also just geek out with videa games. One of them even has this super cute office bromance where he and a 5-foot-nothing ricecel draftsman will talk about [whatever online shooter it is that they both play] for hours, and they make plans to join the same sessions in the middle of the night etc etc.
And I can't even get mad about it, because they are both just good, chill dudes who are always super helpful and just cool to work with.
20 years ago I would have been ultimately jealous. But I'm a lot more at peace with the world and my place in it now, than I used to be.
Cope. I get it's to be rigorous and consider everything. But if you're truly blackpilled, this wont even be a consideration because you would understand that your attractiveness is virtually your skeleton and bone, and those are produced independent of any influence you can reasonably have
Bullshit. Never heard of mewing? Your muscles drive the growth of your bones. Poor posture, lack of exercise, shitty food and vitamin D deficiency will destroy your face and general health.
Looks and Gaming is the title of a research paper that was published in August of 2024. It's already been reported on numerous times on the forum, but this thread I wanted to dedicate to my comments as I made the effort of reading it. If you wanted to read the research paper, it's attached to this thread.
http://www.nber.org/papers/w32809 >Physically attractive teens are less likely to engage in gaming at all, whereas unattractive teens who do game spend more time each week on it than other gamers. Attractive adults are also less likely than others to spend any time gaming; and if they do, they...
We investigate the relationship between physical attractiveness and the time people devote to video/computer gaming. Average American teenagers spend 2.6% of their waking hours gaming, while for adults this figure is 2.7%. Using the American Add Health Study, we show that adults who are...
Study from last month "The results provide compelling evidence, both among teenagers and adults, but especially among the latter, that more physically attractive individuals spend less time on video-gaming; and we offer suggestive evidence that this is because they have more friends with whom...
incels.is
The authors of the research paper state that this is possibly the first of it's kind critically examining the relationship between playing video games and a human's physical attractiveness. This paper I think is relevant to inceldom because gaming is quite probably the most common cope of men globally.
Quotes from the research paper
Right here is the salient point. Chads particularly that become gamers wont benefit from their looks halo and wont instantly assume the dominant role socially over video game voice chat unlike how he does in real life because he's 6'5 or whatever. The author's didn't realize the voice pill yet, so aren't aware that some halos are exchanged for others online (ie having a women's voice or having a deep voice is a huge halo).
Cope. I get it's to be rigorous and consider everything. But if you're truly blackpilled, this wont even be a consideration because you would understand that your attractiveness is virtually your skeleton and bone, and those are produced independent of any influence you can reasonably have (besides like anabolic steroids and plastic surgery or LL) and are static throughout adult life except for aging causing some areas like the eye orbits to radially cull bone (WAW6, FACEandLMS ), (What Makes a Person’s Eyes Attractive? – Looks Theory)
The authors themself test for reverse causality using a linear regression model and the attractiveness of teens who game to their attractiveness reassessed in adulthood, and the authors have to concede that,
So rotting with video games wont make you look any more or any less like a creep. You look like a creep ANYWAYS, so you might as well do what you can to cope with that unfortunate reality. Fuck you, redpillers.
Note on the data used in this research paper and how "attractiveness" is evaluated
Although the research paper has many names typical of Chinese people attributed to it and was authored by a university in Hong Kong, the data that's used for this research is named throughout the paper as the Add Health dataset or study, which is as the authors state,
it's produced by Americans and it's representative of Americans born in the 1980s (these mfs playing Doom(1998) and Quake and Curse of Monkey Island) living in the state of Carolina, and it has been following the lives of those sampled since then. It's one of those long-term studies of human life.
Subjective ratings of physical attractiveness were recorded in the dataset, which means that the way physical attractiveness was evaluated might not be too useful (ie bluepilled surveyors make the assessment of male aesthetics, ie if a man is not deformed, therefore he is a 7/10). Regardless, to proceed to make any sense from the study you'd have to respect this short coming,
Contrasting Figures 1a and 1b to the brutal and infamous OKCupid charts, I conclude this "method" of asscessing physical attractiveness is not satisfactory and shakes the foundation of this research paper.

Okay, here is the meat and potatoes. Finally. There's that word I think is so useful in the discussion of inceldom: opportunity. You should use it more because no human is what they are without the opportunities or lack of they had.
And more friends to FUCK.
