I appreciate the fact that you are trying to make me feel better after such brutal scores. I am waiting for the results of that other order I've made to assess my looksmaxxing potential, (ie potential opportunity cost about not improving my looks).
But what you are saying is very correct, if you don't approach you likely won't get laid, but you have an opportunity cost where you could have got laid if you did, lets say 3 or 5 women, esp if they showed you IOIs. I have also read your other threads and already figured out you are high on the looks scale based on your mindset about women would reflect a different reality. For example, someone in your looksscale would not see the sense in marriage or relationships because you already have allot of options. You might have to chase a little here or there, but its a small price and you usually will not get an ego-hit. You are not invisible to women and you'll WANT to make approaches because you would feel welcome to do so because you know they WANT to be approached by you. Am I not correct in my assessment?
However, if we take
@DonJuanjr, 41approaches and no results, just one date, means if he didn't approach those women there is no opportunity cost to him. Certainly not 3-5 women! If I have a lower score than him, then its less likely I'll see an opportunity cost of not approaching or using OLD. If there is no opportunity cost then any feeling of regret of not approaching or taking action becomes invalidated since it's easy to dismiss the fact that she would have welcomed the approach anyway and it would have lead to something.
However, I am serious about finding out about looksmaxxing potential and I want to see if I can improve my looks/picture/presentation to AT LEAST a 5 or higher.
