Discussion When was the first time in life you realized how shallow people could be about other's physical appearances?

[EzraIsShy76028]

For me, it was back in 3rd grade when I was 9 years old. Though most kids in the class were 8 if I recall correctly as I started 1 year late.

We had come back to school from a break in that same year. Can't quite recall if it was the Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, or Spring break, or whatever, but it was a break.

And in that time one of my male classmates was able to grow a tiny barely noticeable moustache... and all the girls in the class went absolutely CRAZY over it.

They literally didn't give a shit about him before, but now they were going on and on about how "he was so handsome" and how "he was so mature now."

And he himself enjoyed this and played into this. Often talking with one side of his mouth to put emphasis on the way his moustache moved as he talked; and often playing with his moustache. And when the girls began to fight over him he'd be like "ladies ladies there's enough of me to go around."

Then one day his mom made him shave his moustache...

And suddenly the girls didn't give a shit about him anymore. Literally telling him "we don't want you, you're not handsome anymore."

And then when he REGREW his moustache then they were all over him AGAIN...

And keep in mind, these were kids who were around 8 and 9 years old. If they were this shallow this young then imagine how shallow they'll be as adults... aka today, lol.

When I was afraid when retarded girls had crushes on me. When I wouldn't give a kid the tiniest chance to be my friend because he was retarded.

Ah. So your example is of you yourself rather than someone else around you. I do kind of feel you though. For a good part of my life I've been extremely shallow and kind of a piece of shit. I used to really hate on ugly people, and ESPECIALLY physically deformed people, regardless of it literally not being their fault at all. I also for some reason had something really against moles, that even if a fictional character had a beauty mark but was otherwise gorgeous I'd still see them as ugly. And more similar to your example, when ugly people asked me out I got pretty offended. As for mentally challenged people, I can't think of anything in specific...but I remember that even as a toddler I didn't like this mentally challenged cousin of mine. And I don't mean the cousin being dumb, I mean that as in they're LITERALLY just mentally challenged, my uncle had syphilis and it caused my cousin to be born mentally challenged.

early puberty means he probably grew up to be a manlet

LOL. Funny because it's true. I never saw him again after elementary school ended BUT he did kind of give off manlet vibes. Like he wasn't suuuuuuuper short but he still did. Doesn't help that I knew another kid who looked very similar to him that was even more of a manlet than he was, this other kid being actually legit short instead of slightly below average height.

 

[EzraIsShy76028]

19 huh. What happened if you don't mind me asking?

I discovered the importance of looks by doing online dating. I used to get around 5-10 matches so I guess I was a normie. As for the blackpill, I stumbled upon it by the end of 2021.

Ah yes. Online dating huh. I dabbled into it briefly for a little bit, and let me just say...BIGGEST...WASTE...OF...TIME...IN...MY...LIFE...EVERRR!!! I did get some matches, don't get me wrong, BUT THEY NEVER FUCKING WENT ANYWHERE. "I'm only on this dating app to make friends," people matching but never replying or saying anything, people talking only a little bit and never again, people with unpleasant personalities, the catfishers, people asking for money, etc. If I could get some hours of my life back it would probably be the time I wasted on online dating. And ah yes, the blackpill of course.

That is the average experience for most men in those platforms really. I think OD got worse right after the SARS pandemic.

 

[EzraIsShy76028]

Ah yes. Doesn't help that the male to female ratio on dating platforms is something like 95% male to 5% female. Meaning to have ANY chance at all you must basically be in the top 1% of all guys, because with so many options those women become suuuuuuuuper picky meanwhile the men can't really afford to be picky if there's so few women on there. And yes, SARS definitely didn't help in the slightest.

Women aren't really worth a dime if you just think about it.

 

[EzraIsShy76028]

Yeah. Not worth changing your entire personality just to please women. And going out of your way to find a woman never ends well. If it was meant to happen it'd happen naturally on its own. And marriage and children are also not things you should try to force to happen. Not worth doing it just to meet a quota.

For me it was just to be respectable. I wanted prestige. If I didnt care how I looked, id be retardpilled

There is something in part to be said, in which if we find ourselves exposed early to these kinds of topics I don't doubt anyone for viewing man as more vulgar and petty. Going off of what you've provided it may point that we learn or already are aware of these matters even if they are in lesser forms. In reality its what they did that leaves a lasting mark.
