User:Samaritan/Ascension
This guide aims to summarize the process of ascending from a blackpilled perspective. It is structured on the principles of LMS, which means Looks, Money and Status, the generally accepted theory of how female sexuality operates on the blackpilled incelosphere, especially incel forums that are relatives of 4chan's r9k board or PUAhate.com. It is a concept developed by a member of the former anti-pickup-artist community, Chinpoko, and further popularized by YouTuber 'FaceandLMS', where it is suggested that what matters in attracting women are mainly looks, money and status. LMS denies confidence, personality and game to be the most significant factors.
Looks[edit | edit source]
Multiple studies on face-to-face, online and blind dating concluded that among a variety of physical and personality traits, including extroversion, only physical attractiveness predicted initial romantic interest and strongly so.[1][2][3] One of these studies dates back to 1966,[3] so superficiality in face-to-face dating is unlikely a novel phenomenon.
Similarly, when OkCupid asked users to rate looks and personality separately, users did not distinguish between the two.[4] To confirm their hypothesis that pictures were what people were rating as good personality, OkCupid followed up with another internal study which showed that online bio text accounts for less than 10% of what users think of the profiles.[5] This means game in terms of witty and confident textual self-descriptions is also largely ineffective. Meeting online is notably now the primary way people meet for relationships,[6] however, this includes meeting up through social networks and chats, where personality may play a larger role than in the blind and semi-blind dating.
Benefits of being attractive[edit | edit source]
By being attractive, you'll have an easier time getting:
- Dates/a girlfriend/partner
- Sex
- A job where looks are relevant (modelling, acting or being a digital influencer, having youtube channels or instagram) (provide sources)
- People socializing, starting and carrying conversations with you (provide sources)
- People gravitating towards you, as well as having people rationalize anything you say or do as positive (provide sources)
- A penalty reduction for being old/past your prime, especially if you still have sex appeal. (provide sources)
- Forgiveness from people. (provide sources)
- Less jail time in case you are arrested. (provide sources)
- Positive feedback and a better overall life and opportunities. (provide sources)
- Positive outlook about life and better chances at being neurotypical (provide sources)
- Less likely to get bullied (provide sources)
- Positively biased grading on some activities that require scored evaluation (provide sources)
Face[edit | edit source]
Face is arguably the most important factor in looks [citation needed] , as it is the body part used on profile pictures, be it important ones (resume, Linkedin) or on general social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, dating apps), and alongside height is the biggest social opener.
Measuring attractiveness, getting ratings and feedback[edit | edit source]
In order to take action, you must first attempt to measure your current level of facial attractiveness, from an unbiased perspective with honest opinions, take notes of it, and later enumerate your strengths and flaws. You can do the following:
1- Create a thread on Looksmax.me's Ratings board (https://looksmax.me/forums/ratings.7/) with your pictures, front, profile, and full body.
2- https://www.photofeeler.com/
3- Create a Tinder profile on an area with many users, a city with a huge population (provide a sample population size). Preferably use four pictures (pictures containing face, full body, at least one picture on casual environment). Then use this widget to calculate your attractiveness level based on match percentage (per 100 swipes): https://www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/gallery/view.jsp?id=1f51953255f63027635d602d42b96718
4 - Use Omegle https://www.omegle.com/ . If women skip you too often, it's a bad sign.
5- Don't ask women in real life for opinions, and don't ask on Reddit for ratings. They are known for virtue signalling and sugarcoating, and not providing honest opinions, thus leaving some people in the dark.
After that, take notes on what made you be considered unattractive.
- Post a list of surgeries accordingly to each body part and their average prices around the world, also mentioning the cheapest place in average pricing to get the surgery (and refer to the money guide of the article)

Studymaxing[edit | edit source]
For studying, it's recommended to use the STIC technique. The STIC technique stands for: (S)pacing, (T)esting, (I)nterleaving and (C)ategorizing. Much of this concept has scientific backing, with nearly 100 years of academic papers covering it. For reference, it is recommended to watch the following videos from Ali Abdaal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukLnPbIffxE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-zNHHpXoMM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBXnxlLR0PY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDbxPVn02VU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5A26Sc63F0
The key to this concept is using active recall and spaced repetition techniques. Under active recall, you must first understand the topic, then practice it, either by writing questions or by using something like Anki.
In the videos above, you can see evidence that rereading, text highlighting and summarizing are ineffective. To actually learn you must read once, then write questions, then answer them (without looking for the answers), and then correcting these questions by revisiting the study material / book.
The next step is interleaving,where when you are studying several topics for a single subject in a day, instead of going through topic1>topic2>topic3>topic4(...) , you should do topic1>topic2>topic1(again)>topic3>topic2(again) (...)
Lastly,comes spaced repetition,where you set a spreadsheet where you should assign where you should go over these topics again, after X days, then after X weeks, after X months (...)
Then you do the categorizing , where you need to draw a graph/flowchart to make a quick synthesis about all the topics from the subject you studied.

Neurotypicalmaxing[edit | edit source]
Recommended readings if one is autistic and has to live among NTs:
- How To Make Friends And Influence People, Dale Carnegie (extremly basic rules; summary here)
- What Every Body Is Saying, Joe Navarro
- Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships
General advice: do not try to do social schemes, as they would require you to have anough empathy to understand NTs which you do not have if you are autistic.

Cooking[edit | edit source]
Cooking is simply components reacting with one anothers.
- The number one rule in cooking meat if you are not professionaly trained or very experienced is: buy a good digital meat thermometer. Most chefs have some pseudo-techniques they claim let them know when a piece of meat is perfectly cooked, but those techniques are not reliable. Moreoever, "[c]ooks who say they don't need thermometers are either seasoned old-timers who learned at the foot of a master and have doing it for years, or they's macho knuckle draggers." Besides, "[a]lmost all chefs carry a meat thermometer in their chef's coat."[7] Buy a good digital meat thermometer for your meat cooking, there is no way around it.
Learning the basics:
- Ethan Chlebowski's Youtube channel is also a very good channel to learn how to cook.
Recommended readings for advanced cooking techniques and information (not for recipes):
- Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling (also helps for meat in general)
- On Food And Cooking: The Science And Lore Of The Kitchen, Harold McGee
- The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science, J. Kenji Lopez-Alt
