There are two masculine-beauty topics women routinely DM me about with offhand comments.

1. "Gym rats are being dumb trying to get too skinny, we don't like it."
2. "Confession: I'm more attracted to much older men." "I didn't even notice the photo I sent you was badly composed and unnecessarily highlights her stainless steel fan until you pointed it out."

INFERENCE COSTS NOW THE LIKELY MURDER WEAPON FOR THE DEAD INTERNET

It's widely agreed that GPT5 was a disappointment with little quality improvement over GPT4. This suggests LLMs are already approaching an ability ceiling. However, that doesn't mean the gig is up.... The current state of the art is already at a quality level that can produce writing indistinguishable from human. There's still room for improvement due to some quirks like the em-dash issue, but these seem solvable without major advances.

Folks, I'm going to have to boomer you because it's the truth. Lots of the problems forming relationships are caused by digital socialization. If we dropped you all into a school dance on a desert island with no phones and only coconuts and fish to eat, you'd pair up in a month. Twitter is especially bad due to Darth Algorithm ("feel the hate flowing through you [and post]") promoting divisive rhetoric. But, IG creates problems of its own--it encourages lifestyle chasing to a degree never before seen. Influencer is a four-letter word on any platform.

"Everyone oohed and aahed at how pretty the taupe flower was."

Umm... no they didn't. Contemporary women's fashion would be willful ugliness _even in a world without men._ Image
Image But in a world without men, would there be a REASON to dress in such ugly colors?

I doubt it!

ATTRACTIVENESS AND ARTISTIC QUALITY

Attractiveness and artistic quality are different categories, and when it comes to choosing a mate, people don't care about the second one. I'll explain in this thread. Image For this thread I'm actually going to propose four categories that correspond to the way we normally talk about visual appeal. "Hot," "beautiful," "artistic," and "interesting." Image

HOW TO TRICK YOUR GIRLFRIEND INTO BEING HOTTER, METHOD #16: FRAME IT AS BDSM Image Image

New BDSM fantasy just dropped:

I woke up in a strange room. He had forced me into attractive clothes. My beige lingerie was in a bag, hanging from a high ceiling. I couldn't reach it.

A bead of cold sweat dripped down into my pink lace bra. I shivered in fear--and lust. I heard a voice coming from the shadows. It was quiet, but deep and authoritative. Like he knew he didn't have to shout to get what he wanted.

CELEBS ARE DUMB

Why celebrities and celebrity commentary are useless for understanding beauty EVEN THOUGH some celebrities are very attractive. A thread inspired by the excessive trendiness of a certain actress, whom I WON'T name. Image Popular discussion of feminine beauty revolves around celebrity commentary, but it's impossible to learn anything real and durable from it. Image

I love a good conspiracy theory, but there's a non-conspiratorial reason tech megacorps might put up less resistance to digital ID than their financial incentives would seem to demand. Namely, that it's going to be necessary anyway to cut down on AI-supercharged bot traffic. I previously made this point in Section 10 of AILOM; and in Section 11, I explain why it will only be a temporary fix for the AI poisoning of social media.

HOW TO DECIDE IF YOU SHOULD JUST DUMP HER

Most girlfriends today are so incapable of behaving seductively that's it's tempting to start with the final solution. But should you really? In this thread I'll explain simple tests you can give to decide if your gf is a lost cause. Image I should start by reminding you of something my readers already know. We're in the midst of a full-scale epidemic of aggressive indifference. Unlike in past generations, MOST women today are incompetent at seduction, and sabotage their own potential for hotness. Image
