My controversial (here) opinion: personality/mental state/social activity matters way more than people here like to admit. Looks is king that part is hard to debate but its not 95% looks 5% others. Now I should preface this that Im looking at it from a finding a gf and longterm relationship kind of thing, not a hookup since Im interested only in the former.
I do believe some users here would be incel even as normies, due to their personalities/ low IQ
For mental, autism is a universally accepted death sentence but I think a lot more stuff is deadly (for your chances of getting a gf).
Varying levels of anxiety hinder your chance a lot and strong/crippling anxiety can even hit high tier normies. BPD, szicho, all this jazz hurts your chances hard.
Now about being social. My experience is severely limited since ive been antisocial all my life but from what ive observed in my life, being outgoing, having friends and going out with them, going to parties, public events, concerts etc. etc. is the most effective way for normies and even incels to try to find partners. Think about it, if you are an incel, online dating is instantly a loss since women see chad and chadlite and never choose you. But if you go to a friends birthday party, there might be lets say 20 guys 10 chicks. If everyones single and arent degenerates that end up in threesomes etc, you realistically only have to be better than a few guys to get the girl. Ofc its not certain and if anything its in the low single digit or below 1% but its still better than literally 0% in online dating.
ALSO the most important part of meeting girls through your friends/social circle: they dont just swipe left on your cus of your looks, you get to talk to them, show them who you are under the ugly exterior and that raises your chances exponentially (from 0.01% to 0.1%, but still a huge increase)
Either way I ended up writing a fucking essay idk why.
tldr: looks is king but mental state/being social/having a good personality matters so much more than its given credit.
