Is it even possible to get into the top 20% of men as an average dude?

Let's say you are born as a regular guy, 5'8" with normal looking non-handsome face. Is it even possible to break into the top 20% of men by lifting weights, having a good career and some creative hobbies or are you hard-capped by your genetics?
IST always advocates for general self-improvement but does it actually do anything?

    Top 20% depends on the criteria. You should also realize the average person is not some combination of hyper successful, smart, strong, and social.

    However when you're younger your looks are valued more so you may not enter that top 20%. Over time if you do well for yourself you can get a roastie

        Only because the older you get, the more of an advantage having a good career and no beer belly is.

        But by the time the things you can actually improve start to matter, all the eligible women are busted old prostitutes. Working out for women is and always has been a mistake, find some other source of motivation ASAP

        Either kill youself or accept that you want to live on regardless of whether women sleep with you. I did just that and my quality of life improved immensely, even though I'm staying a virgin till the day I die.

I'm so horny for the idea I can'y wait. And then finally being able to walk FULLY comfortable and confident with myself. I guess anon thinks he's nothing and that he can only become nothing. Thank God I have the mindset that I AM SOMETHING and become MORE. I want to BE MY BEST me because I LOVE myself and want what's best for me. When I glow up, it's over for everyone around me.

    On average, most guys have the potential to be decent looking. What really separates people is diet (as it relates to healthy complexion and hair), skincare, style and most of all, fat. Even losing 10kg can totally transform your face.

    Most guys don't care about any of those things and the most effort they put into their appearance is spending 5 minutes in front of the mirror touching up their hair. Considering that every girl you know who cares about men spends an hour in the morning getting ready, the bar is very much on the floor.

              That is just patently untrue. If it's mostly about talent you would have plenty of pro athletes that start playing in their teens. But in sports like soccer or football any pro today started training multiple times a week at under 10 years old.
              The simple truth is you reflect your lifestyle. Your face, your musculature, your posture, your skin, your demeanor. It's all screaming at other people's subconscious you are an antisocial incel.

                also u dont reflect your lifestyle with looks, people assume it off your looks. no matter what u actually are. thats the whole point of personality. its matter of how people feel about u, not what u actually are.

The point is just that you defeatist incels have this moronic view where you are born looking a certain way and can't change anything about that.

                Like I said, you have a moronic view of reality. There are so many things that play into how people perceive you. The most underestimated one is body language. People can fricking tell how insecure you are. And how much you hate being the person you are. We evolved for millions of years to understand other individuals based on their face and body alone. You think you are being rejected because your canthal tilt is slightly negative and your nasolabial folds are too prominent but in reality everyone is put off by your serial killer facial expression and body language

    Women really don't care that much about looks, I'm probably below average looking, although I'll admit that I'm relatively tall, and I've been with some really good looking, succesful women. It's a cliche, but the just be(e) yourself meme is kinda true, if it makes you relaxed and more importantly confident, proud of your life. If anything, starting "low" could be beneficial, if it means that you will work harder and achieve more, as status is much more important to women than physical appearance. Also, bettering yourself because of women is a good starting point, but it should point you to the direction of bettering yourself because of yourself.

    >Get a skill that pays you enough to live alone and have a car (or pay for cabs/ubers regularly in a major city with subways) and decent clothing/furnishing
    >Take fin, oral min, and cialis to prevent balding, prevent acne, improve facial hair and eyebrow/eyelash density, and make you appear more vascular & give you bigger boners
    >Get a hairstyle that works with your head (If you have a weak chin/jaw then get a beard, experiment with short vs long hair, etc.)
    >Wear slight elevator shoes or popular fraud shoes like nike airmaxes + lifts to get 1-2 extra inches, put a dr. scholls insert in the shoe to hide the lifts
    >Get some clothes that work with your body/image/personality. If you are boring you can't go wrong with an athletic/muscle fit dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and whatever pants for example (as long as you are fit and have developed arms, shoulders, etc.).
    >If your dick size is a source of insecurity, get a penis pump and start pumping every other day, over time it will increase in size about 10-20% on non-pump days (pumping is like gym for your dick)
    >If you aren't good at talking, go frick around at a mall for a day because the employees are obligated to talk to you because they are trying to make a sale + there's lots of random strangers. You don't have to buy shit but you can just use it as a way to practice social skills. Often times it will be cute women working in retail so it will give you some practice talking to the women you want to frick. Do it as long as you need to improve your social skills. The only thing that is going to improve them is training them by engaging in conversation. This is also a good way to actually meet women because if the conversation goes on a while and the vibes are good and she is showing signs of attraction you can ask for her number/snap/ig/etc.

    You can set your self apart from the 50% of men that are lazy as shit, undisciplined, don't work out, don't eat healthy, can't dress them self properly, has shit grooming, have no goals, have no interests or hobbies above consuming weed, beer, video games and tv series, are hopeless and pessimistic, are lacking in social skills. All that is required to set your self above those are to lift, diet, put an effort in to style and grooming, change your attitude, stop behaving and talking negatively about your self others and the world, learn to talk to people, work on your career/job, have shit you like to do, and if you do this you might not be top 20% of guys, but you will at least get your self in to a situation to where you'll have a good decent life, are able to attract women for some hook ups and relationship and love life. Forget being top 20%, that is elitism and unrealistic for most people. But you can set your self above 50-60% of all men by just trying. I think is pretty realistic for most men.

    most men are obese now, so just by not being fat you're already in the top 25%. Sure, if someone is obese but somehow better than you in a bunch of other ways maybe it doesn't apply, but basically people are so useless now that just being halfway competent puts you well above average

    imagine a 5'8" ottermoder with a modest job making $80k a year. Let's say he only has a couple hobbies, maybe he does watercolor painting, and mountain biking. This guy is already more interesting than most people and I'd say top 20% for sure

      It has absolutely nothing to do with genetics. All of us have genetics to be chads, it's the modern world that fricks up our development and growth. There's nothing we can do do about our botched development now, but it's not genetics at all. Our ancestors got through millions of years of evolution, we don't all suddenly have shitty genes.

      Ever notice how almost every animal in the wild looks almost the exact same? I get that we can distinguish between human faces better because of familiarity, but that still doesn't explain the huge differences between human faces. So what's happening is that females are falsely thinking instinctively that the chads have better genes and want to procreate with them, however that is 100% false.

          But all you have to do is make it through to the next generation and raise your kids in an environment that is strictly condusive to their natural and normal development from birth all the way up to 18 years old. Monitor toxins, xenoestrogens, air pollution, and so on, make sure they have all their nutrition requirements and they breathe through their nose. Everything will grow properly and be right - height, chin length, good facial hair, and so on.

    I'm like a 6 at best I feel, and yet somehow I frick all the time. it's really, REALLY not fricking hard when you're on the other side of the fence.

    The main thing that blackpill guys ignore is masculinity.
    A 4/10 Hells Angel can get ass all day, and a wife. If the same guy was a well behaved accountant he'd sit here talking about not getting women because he's not in thee 10-20% of top males.
    Looks matter, but so does masculinity. A lot of the redpill gays realize this but they fail to understand it, that's why they end up sounding like boisterous children. Women, or adult men see through that easily. It's for zoomers and autists, no one else believes that.
    It's the reason why women prefer buttholes to nice guys, because being able to insist on yourself with actual confidence, and not just bravado or gimmicks is attractive to them. Alpha male means DOMINANT MALE.
    Chad can get away with a lot, because people will just assume he's masculine because of his looks, but an average guy will lose a lot of points if he cannot stand his ground in social situations.
    Finding a balance between your inner butthole and socially acceptable behavior is as important as looks.
    Find the difference between you and someeone that has traditional masculinity, and do not confuse it with the common diluted male presence.
    Be strong. Stand your ground, and never be afraid to insist on yourself. If you have willpower, you can create self-respect. If you have intelligence and self-respect, you can learn charisma.

              you don't even realize how contradictory this is, bravado = confidence and spine, those are masculine traits. These imaginary men's problem wouldn't be that they lack masculine traits, but that they drop them with a woman (which is death in bed) or that they don't actually believe their own shit, which would be false bravado.

        The point isn't that they like it, but that they will prefer trying to change a masculine(or just physically attractive) man, rather than putting up with an effeminate man.
        It's not just Chads who get points for being an butthole, but eventually women do get fed up. That's why i said to find a balance between masculinity and socially acceptable behavior.
        A very masculine 4/10 will steal the girl from a 7/10 numale that does not display enough social dominance, is too whiny, emotional, or some other indicator that he's not manly enough.
        Looks are still the first check, but if you underestimate the importance of a strong masculine presence, you will get disappointing results.

        It's hard to tell men this, because they always want to prove they're not a b***h. It's like certain things that women refuse to hear. Men have to defend their masculinity, and so they never properly question if they really have anything worth defending.
        If you're a normie or sub5, masculinity makes a world of difference. It's the difference between your confidence being seen as just that, or being seen as arrogance/bravado.

          Obviously you can get away with being rude if you look like a male underwear model, especially on tinder, but girls will like you in spite of the rudeness not because of it.

                but that is an butthole,a guy who is driven and won't take shit is going to not mince words and put down men who he is ahead of because he's on his way to the top. If you're confident and wienery, other men are gonna challenge you, and he, in turn, is gonna put them down, and be seen as an butthole.

                caveman times, the biggest, meanest most masculine guy won, since we still operate from the primative brain that still works on girls. Which is why if you can inflict deadly violence on somebody, or demonstrate you are capable of said violence, women are nothing but wet for you. It's why murderers, bad boys, terrorists, drug dealers, and more are favored, they provide protection, violence, and dominance.

                Same reason why muscles work, they imply higher physical capability, along with fitness, but when you're jacked and you're a soft spoken pussy, they realize you're a b***h.

        These 3 things are totally harmless, but are often mistaken for "being a jerk" by people who got mogged by Chad once in middle school and now believe that all attractive men must be jerks.
        Obviously you can get away with being rude if you look like a male underwear model, especially on tinder, but girls will like you in spite of the rudeness not because of it.

    >starvation drives focused, methodical intensity
    >put a fricking b***h through a wall if need be to get my lifts
    >everything outside of the iron house is non-existent
    >no work, only gym

    Now I really just ignore everything and people LOVE me for it. Work? Not doing it. Girls? Frick em’ (literally)

    I would say it is very difficult. I’m a 6/10 and when I walk around the club with my 8/10 friend the difference is just huge. I can make eye contact and talk all I want, but it’s usually futile. My friend however just gets stopped by girls who wanna meet him. If you did not win the genetic lottery don’t expect to make it to the 20 percent.

    I dunno man. I was fricking wonky and undateable when I was younger. Now I'm a bit over 30 and things are looking up

    >Signed a contract that will take me to the top 10% wage earners in the country
    >Lifted my way into yoked mode
    >Got educated gf who will inherit a shitton of money
    >Learned to dress well

    So I think lifting and career helps.

        I'm recently divorced with 2 kids. Smashing single moms off of Tinder is a new hobby of mine.
