Being genuinely confident, funny, charismatic, and extroverted creates a huge irl halo effect. It affects everything, from how you walk and interact with people to how often you smile and how others respond to you.

This kind of energy makes people notice you immediately and gives you way more attention, even compared to guys who are equal or better in looks but more shy or less extroverted. They might still be attractive, but they are not as noticed and often end up being a choice, not the main guy.

It also changes how people treat you socially. People approach you more, girls give you a lot more IOIs, connect with you faster, and trust you more. They open up, listen to you, and feel comfortable around you, even if they don’t know you that well. And when you’re down, people naturally support you.

In situations like work, especially something like sales jobs, people trust you quickly and are more willing to engage, which directly leads to better results and more opportunities.

The main point is that personality can carry you harder than just looks. Being like this gives you way more opportunities in life than simply being better looking, because it affects every interaction you have and gives you an insane first impression.

And realistically, unless you’re a chad, looks alone are not enough. And even then, how many actual chads do you really see in real life? Almost none. So relying only on looks is limited, while personality is something that can consistently put you ahead.

At the same time, it has to be genuine. If you become a people pleaser or fake, people will notice. But if you’re authentic, positive, and bring good energy, that’s what creates the real halo and makes people genuinely interested in you.

It is not some bluepill shit remember that its way less brutal irl and people dont spend hours studying facial aesthetic.

By ND i dont mean weird i mean to the point where it actively hinders your social interactions, at that point its literally over. No matter how hard you try.

Charisma really does make or break alot of situations though

Most guys here aren’t nd at all, they just put themselves into a sort of character to be like an incel. I don’t know why they would do that though, like they make themselves intentionally miserable and tell themselves all day long “muhhh I’m ugly and nd” etc. No shit you won’t be socially functioning.Being slightly under average and being a genuinely deformed, repulsive 2 PSL guy is different. Even obese guys who have a good personality get included socially, that’s where the “when you’re fat you’re funny” stereotype comes from, because they have a good personality so people like being around them and talking to them. While those who are slightly overweight and have a bad personality aren’t even looked at.

I actually despise whoever larps nd and you are right alot of it is self inflicted.

Do you believe charisma would trump looks in some scenarios?

Irl yeah it always does if your looks are kinda similar one to another like ofc primal attraction does play a big role and a ltn will never "win" against a cl but its what makes you unique and enjoyable instead of just being another dick.
Also most users overfocus on their looks level and think if they dont have a certain psl they cant do certain things while life is a lot more forgiving and loose than what they think

100% agreed

However the thing is, you're only gonna be genuinely confident, charismatic and extroverted if you got positive feedback all your life since childhood (this is the case for most people, the people who are confident without any positive feedback loop throughout the years are exceptions, genuinely neurodivergent people are also exceptions) is if you're good looking, tall, being a good at a sport, whatever; you get the point. Society will then constantly let you know that you're good looking and tall which will keep feeding your positive feedback loop, turning you into a kind funny charismatic confident guy.

Yeah but i think most people overestimate what positive feedback is.They think that positive feedback is when you just exist and girls get on their knees and suck ur dick immediatly on the street when in reality its just having some friend and overall good social interaction.You can even get bullied through your childhood but as long as you just have some people like 1-2 friends youll be good like it actually takes a lot to become this nd to the point where you not socially functioning and cant have conversation with anyone.Niggas just live in extreme fantasies where its either youre a demi god or a incel living shit so bad even frank tufano wouldnt exchange live with you

Yeah not many of us of will reach a high looks rating, so leaving the social skills in a deficit really impacts you, probably for the worse.

yeah exactly niggas think chad has girls begging to suck his dick on the street

like bro no its just that all his life society has made him feel good about himself, therefore he's confident and has a good circle of friends he does cool stuff with and can talk to girls

This is why most incels cant be confident, its due to the negative feedback loop in their adolescent years which made them that way, and that mindset is gonna be extremely hard to change even if they somehow magically ascend

and yeah you're right on the extreme part lmao people love to victimize themselves all the time

Realistically you dont need to be a chad at all to have positive feedback loop and have a great social life unless your severely handicaped or deformed
Most of the negative feedback stems from their own mind kinda like elliot rodger

Everyday I still regret not joining clubs and playing sports at the start of high school. I’m gonna try to start over in university, even if people say it’s way more isolating or alone.

Not really i mean ofc naturally you will hang around people who are around your looks levels but most people are normies anyway so everyone blend in your social circle will mostly depend on your interest ethnicity etc
So mostly everyone can have a great social life unless your the 0.01% bottom of the barrel

Fear of rejection is 90% why people don’t engage

I live in Canada and yeah there’s a lot of parties and homecomings. Plus I’m gonna be on the campus for most of my day so I don’t wanna spend my time being a loser/loner

would you think charisma would be unachievable unless you are at a certain standard of looks?

I would say it depends on how you look like for example if you look like a discord mod you stink and dont take care of your body at all then yeah charisma wont do shit but if your a normie or slightly uglier than the average but your doing the rest right charisma is the key to getting noticed and somewhat having a halo effect irl
