    If “succeed in life” means significant intergenerational wealth to achieve a strong head start, great genetics for height and facial symmetry, and strong black triad traits, then sure. Let’s convert the word “luck” to “intelligence”, regardless of how bad that fit may be.

    I mean, there are exceptions among women. But the correct term is called “outliers” for a damn good reason.

      Sounds like you might be buying into the black pill Incel propaganda they were talking about. Pretty much all my smart friends who ended up being fairly successful (at least middle class) ended up being snatched out of the dating pool fairly quickly, before they ended up making anything of themselves.

      I think ambitious and emotionally intelligent people often end up pairing in long term relationships and removing themselves from the dating scene fairly early in life. So people who are less emotionally developed/available are left thinking the other sex is to blame.

      Plus, I think if we are going to be judging the sexes for being shallow, I would say a lot more women are okay with being with men less attractive to themselves than vice versa.
