Where is this 80/20 rule stuff coming from?

If you go to the beach typically 9/10 guys have dad bods and yet are with hot girls.

Yes on tinder the 80/20 rule applies but that is not real life.

The Pareto principle states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.

Social circle trumps everything, that's mostly how you see these average dudes with hot ass chicks. Girls lower their guard when they see you are friends with their friends, it means they find you trustworthy so you must be a good dude.


If you aren't meeting these chicks through some social circle or mutual friend you better have good game/confidence (for cold approach or bars) and decent to good looks (mainly for online dating but also applies to real life of course) to back it up or you're fukked.

This, it's all about being social and above average looking

No girl is going to date some random 5/10 dude tbh. You need social proof now days. Especially as you get older.

Anyone who was in a fraternity, especially in the SEC, can tell you this much. A ton of chubby ****s who hardly touched a weight pulling dimes while shredded GDIs get nothing lol

this is pretty much it


ive had times in my life where ive had large social circles and being a loner, it makes a huge difference, also the environment you're in; where you work etc is going to play a huge part

typically the older you get the smaller the social circle gets

if you're just an average guy that works in an office with old people or in a trade with all dudes with no active social life you're pretty much fuked


and just fuking lol at tinder, forget it, its what plenty of fish was in 2005

There's someone for everyone. 80/20 talk seems designed to make one quit before they begin.

Imagine for a second that you are shopping for a car online. You're just browsing with no specific budget and are looking at dream cars. Maybe its a Lambo, a Ferrari, or maybe just a BMW, Mercedes, etc. Now imagine you actually need to go buy a car. But you have a low budget. So you go down to your local used car lot and end up leaving with a Honda Accord or Chevy Impala.



That pretty much sums up online dating/swiping in a nutshell. Girls have the ability to get pump and dumped by a decent looking 8/10+ guy any given day. But they don't have the ability to date one long term just because that's what they want.

80/20 is about in line with the data released by dating sites/apps indicating that the top 20% of men are dating 80% of the women.

Yeah but with social circle how many girls are yiu really going to get? Not many and probobly your stuck with the same one or two.

Being aesthetic and probobly trumps social circle if your not autistic.
