My condolences towards your face.

Your ideas of attractiveness are very skewed. If you only do only dating face and body matter more, because it’s much of what you see. However fashion and displayed activities, and status also play a role. But you might be better off looking for mates elsewhere.

Lots of short men with non athletic bodies and mediocre looks get laid every day.

Body and face beauty certainly helps, but there are diminishing returns. Except of course if you want to date super models.

Not being fat and doing some exercise or sports twice a week already puts you way ahead of the pack.

If you go and play social mixed gender volleyball instead of autistically lifting every day, you will have more opportunities and success.

What do you have to offers partner? Are you fun to hang out with? Do you do fun or interesting activities? Do you perform or make art?

For example: even the most low level DJs or musicians will have more success, than a grumpy loner who asks people if they know all albums of the band shirt they’re wearing.

So you’re short, athletic, and have an ugly face. What about your skills, interests, fashion, and activities?

Plenty of women are much shorter than you. If you live in the Netherlands or Mexico makes a difference.

If you mean physical and optical attraction, that can be improved by hygiene, clothing, haircut, exercise, makeup, diet.

Other factors like manners, conversational skills, generosity, outlook, morals, ethics, dance skills, art skills etc. can also be worked on.

Below average looking guys will easily pull women, if they have status and a purpose/passion in life. Status isn’t just money, it can be just being known for being useful in your social circles.

Ugly people have sex and spouses as well.

Yes, the bottom 10% of men have it harder. However most of them can work on themselves to improve their attractiveness immensely.

One advantage men have, is their attractiveness increases with age. For women it goes downhill in their 30s. For men that’s when their peak starts.

I’m now 42 and more women in their late 20s are interested in me than ever before in my life. Single late 30s women are often desperate to find a husband. The older men get, the bigger their dating range becomes. As a rule of thumb men can get women at their age or younger. Women will go for men their age or older. Woman with wrinkles and grey streaks: old hag grandma. Man with wrinkles and grey streaks: handsome and trustworthy.

So if you want to attract the most desirable women, work on yourself until you’re 30 and then start looking for a wife.

It paid well.

Do a group activity which has members of the demography you’re trying to attract. Show that you’re useful in a social environment and you will gain status and thus attract mates.

That can be anything from environmental protection, sports, politics, arts, music, games, organizing parties.

Ideologues on a mission to evangelize.

Conservatives don’t want women to sleep around and have casual sex. So they make abortion illegal. In protest women stop having sex. Conservatives get exactly the outcome they wanted.

Feminism often tolerates hate speech against men (cut their dicks off) and espouse female supremacy (if women were in power there would be no war).

The patriarchy sucks for most men, that aren’t on the top. Their grievances are still legitimate and either ignored or belittled.

This. Men are more often victims of violent crime, homelessness, mental illness, suicides, do worse in school, incarceration, die in wars, work dangerous jobs. Classic male institutions, structures, and spaces don’t exist anymore like they used to.

Add to that that men showing emotions is still seen as weakness.

These issues aren’t addressed or even mentioned.

3 tons of salt, 200 barrels of voter disaffection, 47 pallets of polarization.

The substance where opposing views can be presented and argued. An exchange of information, ideas, ideology, and facts.

Politics on lemmy is a boring circlejerk anyway. Mods are even more ban happy than r/politics on Reddit. No political discussion of substance is possible.

It has been that way for many decades.

Same here. Excellent mouse. The rubber on the scroll wheel is getting a bit worn now.

Most of the plastic in our oceans comes from land-based sources: by weight, 70% to 80% is plastic that is transported from land to the sea via rivers or coastlines

Most of the world’s largest emitting rivers are in Asia, with some also in East Africa and the Caribbean

Seven of the top ten rivers are in the Philippines. Two are in India, and one in Malaysia. The Pasig River in the Philippines alone accounts for 6.4% of global river plastics

Rich countries tend to have better functioning waste collection and disposal services.
