I have a friend who is probably the worst combination of being short (5'4), barrel chested, small shoulders, round face, and balding.
He was doomed. But miraculously, after an enormous amount of low inhib, and maxxing out his friend network he ended up betabuxing a single mom at around 35 years old. Even had a kid with her (doesnt look his his but that's another story).
One key thing I noticed, especially with how he as able to be so friendly and outgoing was to pretend he was interested in literally everything. Not in a sociopathic way, but legitimately so he'd be able to tag along on whatever plans people had going on. He had just amazing ability to befriend virtually anyone, even really, really attractive women. It was absolutely fucking surreal. He knew he had zero shot at bagging these girls, but he had so many friends that he'd throw bbq parties and stuff and invite them all over.
If you saw him, you'd say it was over. But after decades of work, it finally paid off and he is now successfully betabuxxing.
