How is it not worth it to date a girl who is less physically attractive but ticks all the other boxes?

Why? The game has changed, girls are flakey, they are constantly looking for better options, they're never satisfied. One day they are into you, the next day it's like you've never existed, for no reason. What makes everything more difficult is the fact that everything has to be done by text messages. It's really difficult to build attraction by text messages. You build attraction on dates, but you need to get the date, and to get the date there is usually some text game to do (I hate it). Guys who still believe in calling are completely disconnected, women don't answer the phone anymore. With hot girls there is no room for mistakes, even the slightest mistakes will get you disqualified. You are always "chasing" them, even if you don't chase. Dating models used to be easier, but with instagram, the world has put them on a pedestal. Actually you're not competing against other men, you're competing against instagram and their cellphone. they live for instagram and their iphone. And I think it's more difficult to get laid in Europe than in North America, I moved to Europe and I see the difference.

It takes a lot of work, commitment and perseverance to get laid with models and 9s,10s. I'm an expert because I did all the mistakes possible (and I still do make mistakes), got rejected you have no idea. I've tried Tinder, got laid a few times, but I rarely get matches, I only swipe the super babes. Plus I don't want to fight against the algorithm, I have better things to do. At least cold approach keeps me sharp. But I feel that my mental health is going down, a man needs to get laid on a regular basis, otherwise he goes crazy, not getting laid for extended periods of time is not healthy, it affects your "core" as a man, it really affects your well-being.

I don't think the game has changed all that much. You are now older but you want to keep dating girls in their early 20's. Nothing wrong with that but realistically, a guy in his mid to late 30's is going to have a hard time with that demographic without being HIGH STATUS. And you specifically stated that you had no status and were a nobody. You will have to either increase your status or start dating older girls.

Editorial and Runway models are my favourites, I like them 5.11 and extra skinny (borderline eating disorder), they have interesting and rare facial features, more natural too. They don't need makeup. They want to be cool, so they try to be interesting, +1 for the effort.
Commercial, fitness and swimsuit models are nice too but they are less "edgy", they are more "classic", super babe type. VS models are overrated, they are too toned and too old.

They are all entitled. All.

I have the same model preference too. I also think runway models care more about fashion than just their looks alone. I prefer actual models to IG models, they just seem less focused on being pretty and are more humble and down to earth. And they are naturally beautiful instead of having layers of makeup and IG filters.

They are entitled though, some less than others.

IG model = not a model. A model is a girl who works for a model agency and has signed a contract.

Yep exactly. As entitled as agency models are they’re nowhere near as entitled as IG models. Agency models are at least doing it for the fashion as opposed to showing off their ass so they can get thirsty dudes to follow them.

Yes I agree, but same story with women of my age (or age range 26-30). If I look at the guys I study with (19-21), I would guess that 75% are virgin. Dating has changed, a lot, but yes I'm older and it plays against me. The perfect age range for me was 25-30.
Status is important but not that much, money is. You can have status but no money, but usually when you have money you have some kind of "status".

True, money is very much correlated to lifestyle, which is status in a nutshell. Focus on making money and the rest of attraction is easy. You’re building your life, if a chick decides to come along then great! If not, there will be one that follows suit. Having ‘game’ is not a bag of tricks. Women sniff that out. Don’t try to match personalities, have them them align with yours
