Everything is easier for a top tier guy. I try not to use that word beginning in Ch.
I think there are 5 classes of men.
1. Top tier (The top 10% of men). This is the 90th percentile +
2. Second tier. The 70th to 89th percentile
3. Average The 40th to 69th percentile
4. Below average The 11th to 39th percentile
5. The bottom. The lowest 10 percent of men. Often times a part of this group are called omega males.
The bottom 3 classes are invisible to a lot of women. Even the 2nd tier often has trouble.
I wouldn't bother with swipe apps unless in the Top Tier class.
Second tier men and average men put up with a lot of shiit to get laid.
A second tier 35 year old man is likely to encounter some resistance with an 18-25 year old woman, despite being in a good place overall.
As interesting as your categories are, would you say that if you grouped out your categories like this:
a) Top Tier and Second Tier is group one. (Not invisible to women - second tier may need some more game than top tier, but never tight game per se)
b) Average is group two (Invisible to women -- would need very tight game and be very smooth. All of the "rules" would apply. Have to micromanage approaches so they are done right.
c) Below average and bottom is group three. (repulsed by women or women are hostile to them -- exaggerated numbers game, cold approach is riskier, especially if ethnic since now the police can even be called on you, horror stories of women going out of their way to avoid you or any eye contact).
The interesting point is that sub-5s, report that feeling invisible to women is a good thing. Since they rather be invisible then feel like an eyesore and be treated as one.
I think maybe you are also alluding to SMV rather than just purely on looks. The problem with SMV is that you could get betabuxxing, security based relationships, gold-diggers, etc.... except for someone who is sub-5 white with a hot asian gf, etc....
