The prevalence of social media especially instagram and tiktok has caused a sharp rise in female hypergamy in terms of their expectations, due to the high standards of male appearance shown to them by the algorithm and the countless simps lurking in their imbox. Intagram is littered with supermodels, and men with a chad level of appearance, which makes the average woman think that's the standard, or so she should aim for. Nowadays even land whales crave a leonardo dicarpio or a jhony deep, and if you are a sub 5 in terms of physical appearance approaching a woman will be self inflicting capital punishment.

Then either 1. Convince hundreds of millions of people to simultaneously quit social media forever or 2. quit whining like a fucking pussy and just be better

And yet I see looks-mismatched couples in the street all the time.

Let's assume OP is correct that looks are the only thing that matter, and that it's not possible to improve your looks to such an extent that you can compete with the Instagram chads. In that situation, there are zero possible victory conditions for a man who wasn't born as a chad. Now, I think it's fair to say that OP doesn't think of himself as a chad. There's basically nothing left to do in this scenario other than live forever alone. If that's the case, what the fuck are you posting on a forum about game for? If we've accepted that you'll never do well with women, you should find some other area of your life to focus on. Maybe you could become a good painter. Maybe you could become a business tycoon. Sure, in either situation you'd still be an incel, because we've accepted your defeatist logic for the purpose of this discussion, but you could still improve your life in ways other than fucking chicks.

Anyway, what annoys me about this type of "woe is me" talk is that it's not actionable. Based on the information provided by the OP, if we accept it all as true, basically the only action item is to kill yourself if you want to get pussy and you aren't a chad. Why are you filling your brain with thoughts that you cannot act on, unless that action involves suicide?

Now that I think of it, the best possible response for OP in this situation is, in fact, to kill himself. He'd be better off for it. This forum would be too, if he had done that before he posted this.
