he rated todd v a 3/10 on the looks scale
where he'd be below the borderline scale where having game can work with cold approach.
meaning, game won't work no matter what todd does
I see your point, however, he does make a distinction between a facial score and the Tinder-score (SMV). So, if his overall SMV bumps him up to a 5-6 then game would work.
Also, the graph you put has an interesting point, it talks about "learning game". It's also possible, that Todd learned game when his SMV/looks was peak so he had all of the positive reinforcement and history where even if he was sub-5 now, that would still help him. If you are STARTING OUT as say an unemployed/struggling ethnic sub-5 then starting to learn game by doing random approaches won't work based on that graph.
I don't have enough updated information about Todd so I'll have to see what he's up to. He was with RSD was he not?
