... can be contributed to laziness,
Absolutely not. There are characteristics far more consequential than supposed laziness, such as prior experience, timing, luck, status, and social embedding, or lack thereof.
- get in shape
- dress well
- get educated
- make money
- join things
- be pleasant to talk to, etc.
You mention "hot women," not cute women or ordinary women. Generally speaking, if an ordinary man is older than 22 years old, and is pondering how to get such a woman who belongs to this tiny, highly-sexually-leveraged, popular minority of women, chances are he is not going to get one, and will almost certainly have more life satisfaction by settling.. uh, excuse me... getting a woman who matches him in social status and exeperience.
Re: get educated
What exactly are you referring to? Are you referring to a degree for a highly competitive, high paying, high status, highly visible position or a that of a future middle class professional or laborer.
Re: make money
Again, what are you referring to? Do you simply mean being employed with an average salary, or making six figures, which these days is $250k, not 100.
Regarding both money and education, these can be worked on later in life, but generally speaking, tracks for exclusive (actually more like exclusionary) education and high incomes need to be decided yesterday, at like fourteen years old, not to mention the aptitude and raw genetic material and in some cases connections for them. MIT and division-1 sports are not late-start tracks. The foundations for elite educational and career outcomes are often laid surprisingly early. And there is only so much the average man can make in income if he is not in a profit-generating field and simply earns a paycheck. Some ordinary guy is not going to become a hedge fund manager, tech founder, or lawyer by next Wednesday. The best he can do is increase his salary by small, incremental amounts.
Re: join things
"Hot women" are often beholden to social worlds and communities they have little interest in leaving starting at thirteen years old, along with a gorillion exes, half exes, possible previous cohabitation, and attention from men everywhere they go. Of course joining things can work in meeting women, but it will not increase an inexperienced man's chances much with "hot women". It is also hard to make connections generally later in life. This makes access to hot women incredibly difficult or impossible.
Take our resident female advisor here, BeExcellent, a "hot woman," who routinely spills the beans about how she has only even looked at uppercrust men, the top brass of society. Many of those men likely accumulated social experience, confidence, and romantic opportunities from a young age. Some hot women are practically
owned by their cliques (and in some cases, gangs).
I might be biased though. I am a foremost proponent of "social circle game" considering I believe social embededness an status trump any sort of "game" (along with criminality, which I do not endorse). A big hurdle is that tracks for social circle game and status often, though not alwyqas, require a certain psychological and intellectual makeup (including intelligence in some cases), a connected or rich family, and
early starts Hence why I believe the most crucial--and I mean fooking crucial--years of male lives are fourteen to 22 years old and that backed-up men should aim for life satisfaction and ordinary women.
As I usually say, "First come, first served. Everyone else will be waiting a long time--or never served."
