The Harsh Reality of Location and Beauty Perception
hoe_math and Pearl discuss how women's perceived attractiveness changes depending on the size and prestige of the city they live in, highlighting a "pipeline" where attractive women from smaller towns move to big cities but often return home once they realize how good they had it back home. They examine the social dynamics and competition in major urban centers, noting how some women thrive while others struggle and eventually realize they prefer being in a less competitive, more casual environment.0|60|Pipeline|"Pipeline for Attractive Women"|The concept of a "pipeline" is introduced, where women considered attractive in smaller towns move to big cities for better opportunities, but often find themselves less valued and may return home. 61|140|Cities|"Big Cities and Social Dynamics"|Discussion centers on how big cities like Miami, LA, and New York attract the most attractive women, but also create a tough social environment where only a few succeed and many end up returning or settling in less glamorous areas. 141|200|Migration|"Migration Patterns and Dating"|Explores the migration of both women and men to cities, noting that attractive women leave rural areas, making it hard for men seeking partners in those regions, and leading to a concentration of dating opportunities in urban centers. 201|260|Tiers|"City Tiers and Attractiveness"|Describes a hierarchy of cities, with "tier one" cities like Miami and New York being magnets for the most attractive women, while "tier two" and mid-level cities like Atlanta, Chicago, and Portland have a more mixed population 261|360|Numbers|"Numbers Game and Gender Ratios"|Highlights the gender ratios in cities, such as more women than men in New York, and discusses how these numbers affect dating prospects and competition. 361|410|Culture|"Culture, Fashion, and Status"|Reflects on how city culture impacts social status and fashion, with a comparison between American and European (specifically English) attitudes towards dressing and class consciousness.
0.0 What do you think about this? I have a theory about a pipeline for "mids" and hot women.
10.0 I always say that mids go to big cities and get humbled—like, they might be the prettiest girl in Kentucky, but then they go to Miami and just get passed over.
20.0 They end up going back to Kentucky and marrying someone from their hometown. Have you seen that?
30.0 I've seen that, yeah. When I lived in the city, girls who moved from other places would say out loud that they're less attractive there and people don't treat them as nicely as back home.
50.0 One girl from Detroit even said maybe she should just go back. What do you mean by a "pipeline"?
60.0 I mean, like, girls who are a seven or above usually go to big schools—like the Alabama to Florida pipeline.
70.0 If you're a seven-plus, you go to Alabama for school, then maybe Miami or LA. Some find husbands in the city, but more lose than win.
90.0 Most get "dug out" and then go back home. The hot girls are in the most exciting part of the city.
100.0 I live an hour away from the city, but I went 30 minutes closer, and the whole bar was basically a single mother club.
120.0 I can't even make this up. It was like, once a bad decision happens—like single motherhood—they're 30 minutes out, and that's the best they can do.
130.0 An hour out, and it's even less attractive. So a lot of guys think they're unattractive, but if they just lived where the hot women are, they'd have a chance.
150.0 That's kind of what brings everyone to cities.
160.0 Honestly, it's a bit black-pilled, but people are drawn to high-population areas, and those are the ones being ruined by all the social degradation.
170.0 I have friends who try to escape to remote places—like the Rockies—and plan to start a gym, but then realize there are only five girls above a four, because all the women who have options leave those areas.
190.0 You can't make it work there unless you want to die alone.
200.0 You can kind of tell how hot a girl is by how big a city she picks.
210.0 If it's LA, Vegas, Miami, New York, or Scottsdale, Arizona, that's where the most beautiful women go. Did I miss any cities?
230.0 I thought Portland had hot girls, but it was just a fluke. The real big ones are Miami, New York, LA.
250.0 Atlanta? I think that's tier two. Tier one is the biggest cities. Tier two is Chicago, Portland—big cities, but not known for hot girls, though some will be there just due to size.
270.0 New York is where I'd go if it wasn't for the New York "rules."
280.0 Yeah, all the models are there.
290.0 There are more women per man in New York, so it's a good numbers game for men.
300.0 I've heard the same thing about Atlanta.
310.0 But if you mess around too much on the East or West Coast, you might get AIDS—there's an epidemic there.
320.0 Atlanta's not really a destination for me, just from what I've heard.
330.0 I have a two-tier city system: tier one is big cities, then mid-level cities like Philadelphia or Boston, which are near big cities but not quite the same.
340.0 The sevens might go to New York for a year, but can't take it and move to places like Boston.
350.0 Boston is where you find the upper mids with great jobs and expensive rent—it's a snottier city, more socially conscious.
370.0 Is it possible to be more socially conscious than New Yorkers?
380.0 I mean, being aware of status, where you live, how you dress, what music you listen to—like, if you listen to cello music, you're more refined.
390.0 It's more about the classiness of being in a city, rather than just the excitement of being in the Big Apple.
400.0 The biggest culture shock for me when I moved to England was that people dressed much nicer.
410.0 I'd come back to America and people would ask why I was dressed so fancy. Here, people just dress in bags.
