100% agree on all of this.

Have a friend who is 50…very out of shape, divorced, blows every penny he makes, parties and drinks too much…but he dresses well, is hilarious, extremely extroverted, shows genuine interest when talking to people, knows everyone because he talks to everyone, has a big personality and is the life of the party everywhere he goes.

He’ll get random nudes and “what are you doing right now” texts from bartenders and waitresses in their 20s and corporate girls in their 30s.

Looks can help but fun and funny win every time.

Charisma and humor are like crack cocaine to women

How do you funnymaxx though? There’s no clear path like there is to looksmaxxing. Plus, aren’t personalities more or less set in stone anyway?

people will ridicule white women who put those "Live. Laugh. Love." posters in their living rooms but in truth they have a point: that is the path to funnymaxxing IN ORDER actually. first you have to live: you have to not think small, you should find things that grab you and pursue them, realize that your fears are just made up blockages in your mind (part of why personality is not set in stone), and then pursue them for their own sake. if you start doing these things you'll be able to Laugh. life becomes something to enjoy and explore. you have something to show to others and they can Laugh with you. final step is Love. because ultimately women don't want to hang out with losers. losers who are fearful and insecure want to hang out with other losers cus it means they don't have to try or be reminded of their failures. women love winners and will latch on cus it means survival for them and their offspring.

basically that's it. live laugh love

You can learn a lot about by being funny and funnier. Watch stand up comedy, listen to comedy podcasts (funny ones), watch funny TV series and movies. List goes on, but get a feel for what makes people laugh and why. Why are YOU laughing at something? What do you notice about their timing and delivery? What was witty about the joke?

All stuff that can be learned.

Also, genuinely mean this, look up how to be funny and how to a better storyteller on YouTube and study. Then practice. And practice, practice, practice. Will feel unnatural at first, then a little more comfortable, until it’s eventually second nature.

you funnymaxxx by finding what makes you laugh then cultivate it enough so you're able to give it to others.

"He wore clothes that fit him, which in his case means he didn’t wear shirts that squeezed his fat. He had a short beard, slightly more than a 5 o’clock shadow, and always kept it tight."

Literally the only looksmaxxing you really need, but so many men don't listen to that part about clothing. Fat guys in clothes two sizes too small because they think they will be able to fit into them again, thinner guys in baggy, old-ass Dockers and huge, paper bag-looking polo shirts and dirty sneakers with permanently knotted laces. (This last one was a guy I dated and his handsomeness eventually stopped making up for how sloppily he presented himself. Literally just buy clothes that fit and then *regularly wash them*)

Yes for real. Vinny is similar to a lot of Egyptian and Lebanese men I’ve known who have a similar build and look - mildly to objectively fat, Norwood recession, sub-6ft tall - but radiated charisma, confidence, humor, vitality, sincerity, and warmth and they all had gorgeous wives that really made me reconsider my pre-conceived notions of who women in the upper tiers of beauty would say yes to and marry.

Great stuff as usual. Stop looksmaxxing and start presencemaxxing📈

i think it's important to note medgold that Vinny was beloved by his community and was a leader. Although a blad pizza shop owner he had status. Status is key here. Women are biologically hardwired to like status

This is spot on. A great example of a man who’s looksmaxxed to the nth degree but so boring you can tell he struggles retaining the women he attracts due to his insufferable personality is Luke Rockhold (he was on reality dating show and you find clips on YouTube to prove what I’m claiming.

Is it the "funny" or the commanding presence and the fact that he's the "contextual alpha" in the pizzeria that he owns and operates?

Mercurius's avatar

Both. Good leaders know how to read the room, have a commanding presence and not only de-escalate but put people at ease and craft a cheerful atmosphere that radiates from within them outwards. I know men like Vinny, they’re conduits for life giving energy which is my people gravitate towards them
