Appearance. It's arguably one of the most important keys to the kingdom. It's a key indicator of the level difficulty one will face while trying to game. While one can have 'bad' appearance, it's like trying to pick the lock instead of using the key; it takes more time and has a lower success rate.

Here are a few aspects of appearance that are key:

  • Purpose of Lifting
  • Purpose of Clothes
  • Purpose of Facial/Hair
  • Purpose of Hygiene

Lift

Lifting is paramount in The Red Pill and is thrown around a stupendous amount of time(for good reason). It affects so much more than just physical appearance. A post by /u/theselfmadealpha called “Lift”outlines some reasons as to why lifting is important. He states that it helps with confidence, strength, respect, women, energy/stamina and mood, which is very true, but I'm going to focus on the Confidence, Mood, and Physical Appearance.

Confidence: This should be a given. Confidence is something that radiates outward and is a quality that Dominants/Alpha Mates exhibit, therefore you should too. Lifting removes physical features that one would be self-conscious about and replaces it with features to be proud of. Women will know who's confident versus who isn't. It is vital to appearance as it is an head-turner. Confidence bleeds into how one walks, talks, and thinks. Women will notice your actions if they are confident, and in turn, will be attracted. Lifting builds confidence.

Mood: Lifting serves as an anti-depressant, and it works wonders(see the post linked above). Very similar to confidence, one's mood are head turners.

Physical Appearance: Women love the abs and bulging biceps regardless if they say they don't. Women cannot fight genetic make up and cannot help but be attracted to strength. The same way the cannot help but be attracted to money and fame. Money and fame portray social power and survivability. Women are engineered to look for the strongest mate for the survivability of their offspring, it's a subconscious mindset that they may or may not be aware of(99% will not be). Muscles will trigger that subconscious 'tick'.

Clothes

Clothes are a reflection of many parts of one's personality, so catering your clothing to a specific type of mindset is key. For example, dress like a police officer and people will think you are stiff, dutiful, and probably a little bit impulsive. Or dress in a suit, and people will associate you with the characteristics of a businessman or executive. How you dress is a reflection of oneself. One quick idea for what to wear is to just one-up everyone in your social circle. For instance, if everyone is wearing sweats, wear jeans. Or if everyone is wearing a t-shirt, wear a casual dress shirt. You get the idea. If you one-up everyone in your social circle then your perceived sexual market value will rise as well. You will be the one the women look at first, as clothes are the first layer of appearance and the one that requires no further actions. You just show up.

Facial/Hair

Facial hair and hair, similar to clothes, are the first thing a woman will notice, and also require no further action. Again, facial/hair reflects key parts of your personality that could help pass both Shit Tests and Comfort Tests. For example, very well kept beard will portray neatness, organization, and more Beta traits that will pass comfort tests(remember, Beta vs Alpha isn’t black and white, an Alpha can portray Beta quality to their advantage). Different facial/hair styles will achieve different results. Matching clothes and hair styles is very effective in portraying a key characteristic you want to pass. But also, mix-matching is very effective as well. For instance, having a very messy and ‘wild’ facial/hair style and a slick black suit paired with a black dress shirt will give off a very badass image. Additionally, having facial hair is a better than not having it. Clean shaven is more ‘cute’ and ‘handsome’ while facial hair is more ‘hot’ and ‘sexy’. Facial hair also reflects charisma and confidence(when chosen correctly).

Hygiene

Hygiene is a given. You smell bad and you lose them. You smell bad and they won’t reciprocate your approach. You smell GOOD and they’ll be more receptive. It also, again, is a reflection of certain personality traits.

This post is a very brief introduction to the idea of appearance and is a quick overview, I encourage you to look deeper into it. Appearance is very very important, but it quickly turns useless if your personality and game isn’t up to par. So therefore yes and no. Game(personality) is more important but don’t let it take away from appearance.

Im quite new to this sub, so mods list it with whatever flair is appropriate. Thanks for reading, and as this post is general advice, I would greatly appreciate any feedback and additions to the post.
