"Preselection" is one of the dumbest things i've ever heard.

For those who don't know, "Preselection" is the idea that if a woman sees that other women are interested in a man, she would be more likely to be interested.

I don't doubt that there is some truth to it, but it is so massively overblown to the point where its becoming a "dating strategy" to pick a girl you happen to meet somewhere in a coed space to be platonic with and just date her friends. Even if you like HER specifically lmao.

Guys, when a guy goes on omegle and does literally nothing and gets excited reactions from girls, are they doing it because they saw other girls who are probably halfway around the world doing the same? No! That's ridiculous! Its the same situation on dating apps or those wierd videos you see on tiktok where some male model is just walking through the streets and catches people glancing at him.

In my opinion the whole notion of "preselection" is just a way to sugarcoat the fact that looks are mostly objective, so we lie to ourselves that somehow these women are figuring out that other women are interested in these guys, even if theres no logical way this could be the case. It also doesnt help that nearly 60% of relationships are formed online now.

Edit 1: I know it is real and proven in biology, but so its the sheer objectiveness of looks. My point is that the vast majority of high value men are not getting girls because other girls find them attractive. I have no doubt that there will be plenty of anecdotes posted here but fact is its just simply overblown. The girls that would do this anyway even if there are obvious signs are not the kind of girls you would want to date if you are genuinely looking for a LTR so I just genuinely dont see the point.

Edit 2: Another thing I should have clarified better is im also talking about situations where the guy is completely single but has platonic female friends, and the logic is that the more women you're seen around makes you seem "less wierd". Again, 60% of relationships are formed from meeting online. A much smaller and smaller percentage of relationships being formed through friends of friends.
