LOL I thought the middle was Keanu until I zoomed a bit and realized it’s Markiplier

Going and getting swole will still get you women but not because of your big muscles in most cases. The dedication and follow through needed for that demonstrates value. Other hobbies are the same way. Of course some women like huge muscled men or cars or d&d or guitars or whatever but the ability to be both interested in and interesting about something is more attractive than the results.

You hit the gym everyday and you'll get way more compliments from men than women. Same if you have some sweet car. It's the effort to attain that super nice back and thick heavy lats that women respond to more so than the muscles themselves in most cases.

Doing something is more interesting than doing nothing. Plenty of guys without hobbies or interests will still find mates but it's harder to get someone to want to know you and get to the point where they love your interiority without some kind of interest. Touch grass, join like minded people for activities, enjoy yourself and the rest will follow.

Tldr.
Slay orcs, cook food, ~~go into the glimmer on a military mission then return potentially infecting Natalie Portman~~ go to avenge a family member killed by the Lannisters and you too can be the middle guy (whoever that is)

Of course, Demonstrating value is just the first step in the system. For the next, you need to Engage physically...

My initial draft included more of the Dennis system and a paragraph about heteronormativity and gender roles. I thought I had gotten all of it out

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

That's all I could think of too 🤣

I don't think anyone in this picture played in Annihilation. The bottom picture is Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us

Lol I confused him with Oscar Isaac. For whatever reason I associate them both with star wars.

Edit: because of the mandalorian

If I lose the scruff, I could pass for elven, maybe. What's a hat trick worth?

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

According to this chart you may have to. All I see are moustaches. I think you should double down on the scruff and go for dwarven. Don't be a victim of our predominantly elfonormative culture.

Absolutely nothing if the don't actually find you specifically attractive.

God, I can't stand Joseph Quinn. Jeremy whatever is getting there too. Never understood why people think they're so great in everything.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Well, I'm a depressed late-middle-aged father. I'm not a line cook, but I could probably work a grill in diner. I guess I should work out a bit to try to add muscle and cover everything.

Jack Black really doesn't fit the description. Maybe try Tom Segura.

Sometimes muscles compensate for inadequate peepee in the mind of the person with such inadequacies. There’s also some compensation around inability to be social with other human beings.

And some people lash out at those who go to the gym because they feel inadequate.
