Pandas are only kept alive because panda sex tourism is a billion dollar black market industry. PRC keeps numbers low to drive up demand. If Ling-ling gets frisky with her own kind she gets a 5.8x42mm round in the head and she knows it. Connect the dots, people.

Trying to make yourself look good when you are in public constitutes "lying." in their fantasy they have given up their inceldom with a 9/10 but the morning and a couple aveeno towlettes later they are a mere 7 and the man has been tricked into depositing his seed in an unworthy vessel.

Did you know of the several thousand species of bamboo, they eat only a dozen or so and all of those species are the only bamboo species to have random mass die offs. This process typically kills the pandas living in that area, but we now import new bamboo from other areas to feed them for reasons that elude me because Ive heard they arent even tasty.

Also of the several thousand different kinds of popsicles they only eat the orange ones. Picky fuckers.

I don't know if it's too late to join the conversation about how incels could get better, but that's what annoys me the most about them-- it's pointless.

They're not going to listen to any advice, because one of their own rules for being an incel is "It's permanent, nothing will help, don't even try." They're slavishly dedicated to hopelessness and it's so loving infuriating to me.

It doesn't matter what the suggestion is-- go outside, bathe more, just generally act like a human-- the only response is "No, that won't work. My long philtrum and unruly clavicles mean that there is nothing in this life for me, and I just have to accept it."

I think they're also envious that it's socially acceptable for women to wear makeup. Like it gives women an unfair advantage in looking good compared to men. Of course, they're oblivious to the disadvantages.

They probably envy women being able to wear high heels as well.

To some extent the whole body positivity idea (which has its own problems of different unrealistic expectations) doesn't tend to talk much about men. There are absolutely valid reasons for that, but it's not good to ignore that men can also have body image issues, just coming from way fewer sources. I forget how I was intending to relate that to your post.

Lol if you think painting a face on is only worth a +2 on the beauty stat.

If you're ridiculously good at makeup it can make a huge difference, but, like most things about people, what you see in the media and what you see irl aren't the same thing. I'm not ridiculously good at makeup so when I wear it I'd say it would give anywhere from a +1 to +3, depending on a whole host of factors: the lighting, if I'm using liquid/powder, if I did a good job on my eyeliner, if my lipstick smears (which is itself dependent upon about a dozen different factors)-and that's not even getting into highlighting or contouring. In summation, makeup varies from person to person, from day to day, and the reason I tell you this is to demonstrate that A)the media has lied to you about how makeup works and B) you can't lump all women in together as the same thing. Heck, lots of women don't even wear makeup.

I'd say that's a big part of it. Something that could be an advantage becomes an expectation if enough people do it, and then it's a disadvantage if someone doesn't do it. Many women have the experience of being told they look tired or sick on a day they didn't wear makeup.

Applying make-up can also be time-consuming, plus add on the additional time for removing the make-up. And the products and implements all cost money.

Women face a similar issue with their hair because women's hairstyles tend to be more difficult, expensive, and time-consuming than men's. These things add up, and in general a significantly larger portion of women's time and budget is consumed by beauty routines than men's.

I'd call this a disadvantage for women because it takes away from time that could be used for other essential things - time that men aren't expected to use for make-up and hair.

Not to go off on a complete tangent, but there's also an element of classism in the expectations. Because lol if anyone thinks the rich don't have a beauty advantage due to lack of time and money constraints, including ability to hire professional stylists.

Yeah, most of the photos that show off what makeup can do are highly dependent on lighting more than the actual cosmetics.

In my experience, makeup doesn't change things irl nearly as much as it changes things in photos.

Similarly, the makeup for, say, drag shows looks very good on a stage, and looks like hot rear end in person--very cakey and gross. It's for stage lighting and dark bars and looks good exactly there and nowhere else.

I'm willing to bet loads of them try flattery as kids/teenagers/young men and are aghast that showing basic standards of decency--and badly at that--isn't successful. Then they do the whole "turn inwards, refuse to change, blame the world" shtick that turns them into human septic tanks.
