Average, objectively, I know I’m not hideous. It’s just that I don’t look like the media template, and that makes me socially ugly.

As much as Roissy professes that there’s no such thing for men, I have to disagree. If it wasn’t social, they’d feel no need to tell a girl she was ugly, or select her for exploitation on that basis. It would just be understood, and she’d simply be ignored.

I also do field experiments to see how I’m treated, depending on how I’m dressed, and how I treat others. There’s a big difference in how I’ll be treated if I dress western and behave like a shy girl, and if I dress ethnic and behave assertively bubbly.

When I’m dressed western, I tend to draw negative people and negative comments. When I dress like myself, I tend to draw positive people and positive comments because I’ve taken the same body out of the western social context.

Apparently, it does make a difference, at least for “non 10’s”.
