Beautifulpeople.com, anyone else tried it or heard of it?

One thing I think a lot of people miss about Zyzz is that he displayed charisma, a good sense of humor, strong self-awareness, and even self-mockery. In a lot of his videos of him running around without a shirt on, he's making fun of himself, and the stereotype of big-muscled guys. This is actually really attractive behavior. I've seen plenty of body-builder type guys with muscles like his standing around clubs by themselves. I see it every night. Most of them can't hold a girl's attention for more than 10 seconds.

If you look around the internet, there are 1,000+ guys with bodies like Zyzz's all trying to make it in the fitness industry or with webpages dedicated to fitness. Why did Zyzz get such a massive following so quickly? His quirky personality. His funny pictures. His ridiculous videos. Dan, the guy who wrote some fitness articles here on PM, is a competitive power-lifter and amateur bodybuilder -- two things Zyzz never was. Yet, Dan is struggling to get a website and following going in the fitness industry.

Like I said, guys over-estimate the importance of physical dimensions and therefore get a hard-on for guys like this. I think looking like that is overrated. One of my best friends has a body similar to Zyzz's (minus tattoos and maybe 10 pounds lighter). He gets a lot of looks, but in the end I get laid more than he does, by quite a bit.

So appealing to the majority of girls is overrated as well. There's a saying in sales/marketing: trying to sell to everybody means selling to nobody. If you try to appeal to everyone, then no one is going to feel that invested in you. The goal is to find your particular niche and dominate it. There is no shortage of women on this planet. Why would I waste my time trying to appeal to all of them? I'd rather find the one's I like and appeal to them.

Reesays, I think this is just another example of your blanket approach to thinking about this stuff. Just because some Indian men are at a disadvantage in some situations does not mean all Indian men are at a disadvantage in all situations. Just because a guy like Zyzz has advantages in some situations does not mean he has an advantage in all of them. Beauty and attraction are not monolithic all-or-nothing things. They're complicated and vary from person to person, culture to culture.
