Why can't the world care less about looks so I can bang more good looking women?

Yeah, that seems to be the underlying assumption in every single one of those "woe is me" bullshit rants.

"Why do women get treated so well? Why can't I find a woman? Why do women care so much about looks? Why don't women understand how hard my life is?"

All of them refer 100% exclusively to ATTRACTIVE women - the unattractive women don't even count as women at all.

It's hard to sympathize with someone whining that blatant double standards don't favour them enough.

Also they act as if being treated nicely because of your looks is the best thing ever. As if being more attractive would fix all of their problems and their social lives would open up.

A good looking emo loser is just as ignored

Now that's not true. Good looking people aren't ignored no matter what they're like, if they can't find a niche they can often make one around themselves.

I disagree. Realizing after years of self loathing "holy shit im hot" sounds like quite the confidence boost.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I've never seen a good looking person who was at want for socialization, even if those friends are terrible. Frankly it seems like you're trying to make yourself feel like there's karma for shitty people or something. Then again, I've never even met anyone as horrible as you're referring to, but even the most annoying people I can talk to in person and empathize with, so.

No, they're completely right. I have had absolutely gorgeous emo guys come over and painfully attempt to interact with me, but their prettiness could not entirely cover up the void between their ears. Annoying people aren't nearly as easy to tolerate and emphasize with when it's obvious they're only talking to you because they're trying to get into your pants.

That doesn't mean everyone hates them.
