See, I cant debate you, because you still dodge. You think it's "hubris" to assess whether youre more attractive or are more likely to be seen as more attractive than your friend. I cant debate that kinda "act like no one can judge something" delusional thinking.
Your opinion will be in line with that of consensus only when things are OBVIOUS. The delusional thinking here is that you can judge yourself vs. your friend. Of course you cannot backup any of this non-sense you’re spewing. You haven’t even provided a list of criteria on which to judge by, from your end. Hah! That’s called dodging. I’ve pointed out the absurdity of your comments long before you even had a chance to back them up.

I can look at my car and have a good idea of whether girls will find it more appealing than my friend's car.
Are these gold-digger women you meet comparing sticker prices and excise tax bills? Horsepower? Import vs. export? That’s another hilarious one from you. Thanks for the laugh. Women don’t give a shit about your car. That’s “my experience.”

I can look at my place, and know whether more girls will think its nicer than my friend's place. My friend doesnt have to be living in a roach motel, for me to make an assessment. And it has nothing to do heads up asses.
That’s because there’s more objectivity here regarding neighborhood (reputation), whether it has quality appliances, how clean it is, size etc. Things here can be far more obvious and less subjective. Again, don’t even try to make this into a “opposite gender attraction is like apartment comparison” … hahahaha! We don’t need another awful analogy.

As to the rest, I've already said that within a region, certain physical characteristics will be seen as more attractive in general. 2 cute girls are friends, they go out together, chick A can tell who gets more attention and compliments. Same way if you go out with male friends, you can tell who gets more female attention. Sometimes its a close race, in that case, it's close.
So what’s your point here? Two cute girls will get about the same level of attention and therefore not really be in some pissing match about “who’s better looking” … right? In “my experience” the particularly unattractive women aren’t friends with attractive ones. There are cliques formed.
On the flipside, imagine chick A gets more attention and always gets screwed over by the guys. Chick B gets less attention, but meets guys that make her happy. What now?

See I cant discuss a simple point with you because you want some statistical survey. You actually want a PU book to be based on empirical research. Everything here is based on people's experiences of what works and what doesnt.
And the blatant problem that you are oblivious to is the massive amount of bias and other bullshit that is associated with the anecdotal evidence that the PUA non-sense is based on. Either that, or some material is just convenient lies. It’s like the fitness industry all over again. You use a handful of examples to come to some hasty conclusions about an entire gender of the human species.

There is no statistical survey that says that girls wont like it if you send a bouquet to their job after a first date, but most guys here know thats a bad move. Sure, there will be girls who will love that. Most will not.
To me that just sounds over the top. I don’t need a survey to tell me that. Obvious is obvious. Remember?
On the other hand, there is actual research into attractiveness from controlled experiments. Given the better quality information available about this topic, why would you ignore it and follow nothing but anecdotes? And where research is lacking, you can follow anecdotes – keeping in mind that your “mileage may vary.”

Same way posters can have different styles but have a general consensus on what works and what doesnt, people can assess who gets or will get more attention between them and someone else. If you cant even judge whether you're more attractive than another guy physically unless he's damn near Golem, I cant argue that kind of reluctance to be honest and make a fair assessment.
Hahahahah. Man… the other day, I was asking my wife about some famous actors… the big-name Hollywood hunks of past and present. In my mind I had some idea of who that most attractive ones were. Out of 10 that I mentioned, she only thought 3-4 were actually “really sexy.” Talk about subjective, huh?
And yeah, unless the differences are obvious (you have yet again provided no criteria for actual judgment.. no surprises), you are just making up bullshit in your head to fit whatever narrative you have in mind for your friends. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.
