I've been seeing a lot of threads lately on here talking about the black pill, self improvement, etc. I've been posting on here about how the "self improvement" advice of bettering your physique, career, money, etc. is really not that big of a game changer for the vast majority of men. Telling men to get in shape,or become uber successful is not a guaranteed recipe for success. There is one very big thing that I see that totally is a counter to this advice, which is women that date losers, phoneys, fakes, etc.
Here is some of my input on this;
Con men/phoneys
I'm going to start with a trend I've noticed over the last several years, and that is women seem to really go for men who heavily exaggerate themselves or even create entire fake personas. I partially blame this on social media, it's become a cultural norm to create this false image of yourself on Instagram for the world to see. Scam artists like Dan Bilzerian are the epitomy of this but you will see this with real world, everyday people. I personally get the feeling that women are drawn to these men because of the amount of attention they seem to garner and in their mind this means that these are "high status" men.
A couple examples
There was this guy in my area who was a "real estate expert" that would post all these exaggerated accomplishments on his social media. He was also a bodybuilder type who literally went on there and edited his photos to make it look like he was this huge, ripped guy. In reality, he was around 5'4" and looked like a completely average guy off the street. He really was just a regular real estate agent who also did these b.s home flipping seminars/workshops that they sell to gullible people. All of the people that this guy associated with were phoneys as well, though I questioned if they even were aware of it lol.
There was someone I used to know in my area who talked about having this highly successful company that he was running related to medical device sales. He used to constantly talk about this to just about anyone around him and it gave off a fake, salesman type vibe. He also used to have this on his tinder bio, which I felt was a tactic in order to appear higher status. I eventually found out that his parents paid everything for him (car, rent, groceries, etc.) and he mostly just spent the day playing video games, playing basketball, etc. I believe that this specific individual created this entire persona for a multitude of reasons, one of which being to appear more important than he actually was. This man would constantly go through a rotation of women that he'd meet, though they all gave off a desperate/insecure vibe and really couldn't see through the b.s.
I could cite many different examples but I don't want to turn this into an entire essay. In my opinion, I believe that women very often have an incredibly poor ability to filter out con men. Men overall seem to be quite good at spotting incompetence in other men, it's like we have an innate ability to quickly determine who is actual status/hierarchy. Men tend to pick up on who is the better worker, who is more reliable and who is competent compared to those that aren't. I feel this is an ability that women are often not very good at and is a reason they get themselves into trouble. The thing about con men is that they have enough charisma to the point where they can paint a really good picture of themselves and their abilities. Women fall for this because they often times become magnetically drawn to men that can create a fantasy world for them. Women will see these men as high status and not realize they are really falling for a complete ****ing loser lol. Women chase the thrill and excitement, Jeremy the electrician who is making bank in his trade job does not provide the same thrills as Dillon the con artist who in reality is a complete loser doing nothing with his life.
There's a reason why traditionally women didn't choose their own husbands on their own and would need the approval of family or perhaps even have an arranged marriage. These are foreign concepts to us in our modern western world, but this was the reality for thousands of years. Women very often make very poor choices in men.
