The Looks Threshold

  You know that difficult for some guys word "threshold"? It's difficult to spell and difficult to decide how to pronounce. Well, if you care, I'll tell you that there are two possible pronunciations: [ˈθrɛʃəʊld] and [ˈθrɛʃˌhəʊld]. I think the first one makes more sense but let's continue the topic. After you know the spelling and the pronunciation let's make sure that you understand the meaning of the word "threshold". It means "a point of entry or beginning"; "the magnitude or intensity that must be exceeded for a certain reaction, phenomenon, result, or condition to occur or be manifested", i. e. it's a philosophical, dialectical word too. And, as you will see now, it's related to the inceldom problematics too.
 There are those naive and/or not enough educated people who think that "Personality is everything." Most of the blue-pilled and the PUAs will state the same. All of these people overvalue the personality. Personality, of course, matters but (usually) after a certain looks threshold is passed (reached); think of it as a "threshold level". This level maybe more or less subjective. For example, some women may be too picky and they'll wish only Chads and GigaChads. Others may be really mostly personality-oriented and for them just a Norman (average looking) or even a Melvin (incelish looking) will be acceptable without any problem. But there is almost nobody who will accept some 0,5/10 or 1/10 because of his super good personality.
 I'll tell you a true story next time (to explain if from a concrete male perspective).

[Good incel]

Simple explanation:

Truecels -- no personality-maxx will help you to ascend.
Incelish -- in some cases the personality-maxx may help if you're really lucky.
Normies -- personality-maxx works well especially when it comes to divorced (with kids) females, elder ones, 1/10 - 2/10 femcels.
Brads, Chadlites -- personality-maxx may guarantee you a Becky and to give you some Stacy-tier chances.
Chads -- personaity-maxx guarantees you long-term relationships with Stacies.
Gigachads -- personality-maxx makes you Mr. Perfect and always Mr. Right.

 Long time ago it was trendy to exchange mails (paper mails, not e-mails). Later -- the e-mails, then the chats... whatever. The meaning is that I and many like had to know girls via mails, e-mails, chats, i. e. before we know how they look like (even today, there are cases when you're connecting with somebody but you never saw her before because she's not posting any photos or videos online). So, you got it, right? I am talking about the situation when you're chatting with a person for a certain period of time and exchange a lot of info but without knowing her looks and even never hearing her voice. Well, there were these cases when I liked very much the girl's personality, thinking, points of view, culture, education and so on. At that point I was thinking of her like "Such a great girl, surely she is pretty too!"  And what I imagined was something like 8/10 at least! When I saw some of these girls, I was very surprised that they're not more than 3/10 and some even 1/10 (sort of scary).
 Well, later when my knowledge were upgraded I started to think "No matter how well she draws, how tender are her words and how clever she is, she may be an ugly one!" and still, when there was some really amazing one (draws romantic flowers and birds in her letters, speaking gently, her handwriting is pretty, no stupid words and meanings, poetic and so on), I was thinking: "This one, even ugly is the one for me!" At that point, "ugly" for me was not less than 4/10. Otherwise I really couldn't accept it. And, yes, there was a case when I girl like that was really around 4/10 and I was okay with it. But when there was some 2/10 or 1/10, OMG!... I wasn't able to continue to chat with her even a word because of all those disgust and/or fear that I felt.
 I remember the time, when I already had many cases like these (to think and believe that the girl is at least not scary but she was too ugly and/or scary for my taste) and I said it to a friend who was in love with one like that. I told him that he should be careful and at least to ask her for a photograph before they meet. Well, the man was sure that "Even too ugly, I am going to love her." and do you know the result? He traveled many kilometers to meet her and after 8 hours when he saw her he said he had no energy to make even a step forward. He said he was a fat, aunt-like type and no matter how lonely and needy he was that time (and how deeply in love he was towards her character and personality, and culture) he just wasn't psychologically able to go and at least to say "Hi!"... later we were thinking how he to apologize to her because it was really a bad thing to make a woman to wait for you and you never to show up.
 So, here is the problem with the females too: they tend to imagine someone who is at least 5/10 but when you (at her eyes) are some 2/10 or 3/10, of course, even she wants to be nice, she just can't move further.
 So, it's not "Looks are everything." but also it's not "Looks doesn't matter." Remember that there is just a "Looks threshold" which is more or less individual, subjective but it exists.

[MSL]

 Adding this: the existence of the threshold doesn't imply that everything is over if you're not able to pass it. The opposite -- you should maxx yourself in every possible way -- the looks may be improved (at least with 1 point via gymmaxx, dietmaxx and so on), the geomaxx, fashionmaxx, moneymaxx and so on may add you another 1-2 points and, at the end, you may be 100% better than before which is giving the real chances to ascend.
 It's like being poor. Maybe you can't become a millionaire but still it doesn't mean that you shouldn't search for incomes and to become at least a bit richer (not that poor).

[Good incel]

Our imagination and expectations are sometimes too far away from the real looks. Sometimes it's because the females rate themselves higher too. And when you see them awww... I expected a girl to be 8 of 10 at least and when I saw her gosh... not ugly but not more than 5 of 10 irl.

[Xsokii]

And that's why you're an incel.
Too picky.

[MSL]

Oh, wow! Too picky incel is known as "standardcel".

[Xsokii]

I don't get it. They want a girl yet they complain about standards.

[Good incel]

Something is off here.

1) I said I expected some girl/girls to be more pretty than they are in the reality.
2) They're not so pretty as I imagined but it doesn't mean that they think that I am handsome enough for them.
3) I am an incel because there is no girl to like me not because I want too much. There is just 0 choice.

I am not a standardcel. I am okay with a 3/10 low tier Becky if she's not too fat or something mental.

[Gay]

It's the same when we're thinking about the gays, lesbians. How many of you imagine that all lesbians are hot? Many, I guess... but in the reality, the hot ones are a minority.

Interesting.

[Incel]

And that's why you're an incel.
Too picky.

Oh, no! Another That's why you're an incel. You really think the life and the love are so simple? I sent a wrong photo -- that's why I am an incel (even when I don't send any photos?!) Someone is just saying that he/she doesn't like you 10/10 much and then "Oh~ that's why you're an incel.' (even if he's okay with a 3/10 girl?!) Come on. Life and love are really more than "just it".

And to show you that I'm not mean to you but really want to give you a piece of mind (honest criticism which may help you to learn about the life&love thing.)

• Usually there are ">1" (more than 1; greater than 1) reasons for being an incel.
• We're incels not because of a wrong photo or too picky, we're incels because we're ugly, poor and, probably, in the wrong place.
• Even we may disagree with you, you're welcome because you're helping us somehow to have a sort of reality check.

[Xsokii]

I don't really mean what I post most of the time. It's just the first thing on my mind I post so it sometimes sounds stupid.

[MSL]

  It's alright. Don't worry.

I'm used to sites like Discord which is why I usually just say whatever pops up first in my mind.
However, on here, you can't edit or delete messages like Discord so I should break out of habit.
