Was Giorgio Armani right?Does it really matter?
No where there is he saying that it doesn’t matter. That’s a pretty reasonable take and still very in favor of aesthetics. He’s pretty much saying looking good makes everything better, which is hard to argue against.
He probably hasn’t set eyes on an ugly person for decades
>>77167044He's just acknowledging the halo effect, which is common knowledge.

>>77167044>>77167640The most /fa/ dudes know that being /fit/ is key and always has been.
Being /fit/ is everything for /fa/ not that most of those little wispy gayboys would ever admit it.Their kind of fashion is one giant cope to mitigate their embarassing, soft, feminine bodies.A guy with broad shoulders and chest and lean defined musculature looks incredible in nothing more than a well fitting pair of jeans/slacks and a t-shirt. Accessories can elevate it but aren't necessary.Same for chicks. You can buy all the bougie dresses and hot new fits you like but some gym bunny with a great ass and perky tits will obliterate you wearing nothing but a pair of blue jeans and tank top.It's undeniable. The only reason to attempt to deny it is because getting buff and sexy takes time and consistent effort... Like most things in life worth doing.
I’m generally noticed that rich people aren’t obese
>>77168167It’s because rich people are intelligent. Poor people, at least in developed countries, are poor because they’re stupid. >lack of vision/foresight as to the consequences of one’s actions/inactions >lack of ability to appreciate delayed gratification>poor impulse control >probably had poor parents who passed on their poor understanding of nutrition and are too stupid to come to their own, better understanding of the topicIt has nothing to do with “not having enough time”. Anybody who has money is BUSY AS FUCK. They literally never stop working, this meme that poor laborers work harder than people who have money is proof that anybody who says that has never been around people who have money. Just because they’re not literally digging ditches doesn’t mean they aren’t constantly working or thinking about work while the ditch digger digs ditches for 8-10 hours a day and then comes home to sit on his ass to shovel slop down his gullet while watching TV/youtube or whatever.
>>77167044>Ubermensch mind>Account based in Pakistan
>>77168344Don't take this the wrong way but - you're kinda retarded bro.
>>77167044Of course. Nobody who lacks the discipline to at least be presentable is worth listening to.
>>77167643even the other old fashion nigga laggerfeld was famously a fat fuck then he forced himself to lose weight to fit into that suit he always wore cuz he liked it so much
Once you gain and learn to maintain discipline it is very hard to look at people who don't the same way ever again. I'm not a hater or a self absorbed person. I don't push my will on others or tell them what to do or think, and I understand what projection is and where it comes from, but I can't regulate my thoughts. That person that tries to emanate authority and competence but is fat and lazy will never trick me ever again.
>>77167044Well, I'm more willing to trust the fit smart guy over the obese baby looking smart guy
>>77168344You're right about everything you said. It's self-evident to everyone who is now wealthy who had poor parents or otherwise interacted with both worlds.
>maintainedsuch a boomer way of putting it. Back when basically everyone started out with a 6 pack at 18 and simply need to not "let themselves go" to be fit for life. Modern young people are in an entirely different universe. A nice body means complete transformation more often than not.
>>77168601nah he is wrong. The idea that intelligence -> thinness is almost completely a racial stat. Blacks and browns are fatter and dumber. Asians are the most thin and test the highest. But if we are looking within racial groups the correlations are very small. There is also conscientiousness and ability to ration food that would have been very important for tribes surviving in cold climates. Cold climates tend to produce people who are both more intelligent, better able to delay gratification, and lighter skinned. But just because these two things tend to both evolve together lets not get confused and think that greater intelligence is WHY cold evolved people are better at controlling their food consumption. Its not causal at all and its pretty easy to find a fat fuck who is extremely intelligent. I do think being more intelligent would be helpful with dieting but only slightly.
Being /fit/ is 80% of the /fa/ttle. You can make any rag look good.
>>77168654I saw this happen all around me in my homogeneous eastern european society. Maybe nature has a factor in it, I don't know, but the nurture factor is strong as well.
>>77168654Thin people also tend to be a lot more self-disciplined while heavier people are more hedonistic. Thin people are more conscientious over use of time, while fat people take it easy. Not sure how relevant it is but there are experiments that show rodents restricted from food have more exploratory behaviour, which makes sense. Finally, if you think of the daily grind as a bit of a marathon every day, what phenotype is best at marathons? Thin people. Thin people have more stamina and get more work done, hence can do really well in professional and academic type jobs. If you look at graduates schools there are skinny people everywhere, why is this? Because school is in large part about discipline and getting as much done productively as you can. If you look at the world's best quizzers or chess players, if you thought that thin = intelligence you would expect to find all skinny people. In fact the ideal phenotype appears to a slight little bit on the plump side. Not fat, just a little of extra weight like Kevin Ashman. Kevin Ashman known better this side of the atlantic is perhaps the greatest quizplayer ever and went something like a full decade without ever getting a history question wrong on Eggheads, which was on BBC every weekday.
>>77168534How is he wrong? Broke retard
>>77168902How is he right? Just saying stuff doesn't make it true. In fact he has the default belief system, the mentality of a small child or the highly mentally disabled who have no real knowledge or experience in the world, that if you are smart you will make money, that rich people are intelligent. He's making these statements that everything that we have learned all these years are actually all wrong, I think the case is pretty much his to make, not just state his diarrhea like it's fact. It's like saying the world is actually flat, and making up shitty elementary school arguments to support it. You can't argue with a person like that.
>>77167789I noticed that fashion guys tended to be below average in terms of physical presence. It was a way for low value guys to try to gain some value back.
>>77168654>when blacks and browns are fat and poor it's because they're defective>when whites are fat and poor it's because uhh cold climates or something
>>77168880Being good at trivia and chess would tend toward the kind of person who likes to sit around. I am friends with some high IQ types who like to sit around and I've decided they are proof that mere 'intelligence' by itself is inadequate, even in terms of just thinking. You need to have everything, a holistic sense of self, to even be a good thinker in a vacuum. You cannot be a brain in a vat and still a good thinker.
>>77168973This unironically
>>77168946> child or the highly mentally disabled who have no real knowledge or experience in the world, that if you are smart you will make moneyIt's true, retard. That's why you're poor and I'm not.
>>77168946If you cant figure out how to make money you’re stupid. Its literally easier than ever. Plenty of people making $100,000+ with only a smartphone. Unironically git gud.
>>77168946>if you are smart you will make moneyI never said that. It’s not a guarantee, but your chances are certainly much better.You’ve said NOTHING substantive, and it seems like you’re of this nonsensical post modernist thought process where objectivity isn’t a thing, and where everybody is actually equal in their capacity for achieving things, but it’s simply because of factors outside of the control of the individual that determines where somebody ends up.>his mentality is that if a small child or highly mentally disabled person with no real knowledge or experience in the worldYou’re just calling me names lmao. What are you going to tell me next, that women can and do sometimes have penises? The SCIENCE and the RESEARCH tells us that it’s true :)No man, that’s not going to work you little weasel. You’re obfuscating and attempting to muddy the waters by acting like your opinion is somehow totally valid while bemoaning what I’ve said as untrue because, well.. just because, okay?!You cannot honestly sit there and tell me with a straight face that people who are able to make good money aren’t, on average, more intellectually capable (more intelligent) than people who don’t make good money.What’s your argument, exactly? That if we were to measure the intellectual abilities of people from the lowest and highest groups of wage earners that there would be an equal spread of dumb and smart people in each group?Obviously you’re going to find exceptions in each group, but there’s no way you can tell me with a straight face that there is the same ratio of dumb to smart people in each group.I’ll play along because I’m Lego to barely curious why you disagree. How would YOU define intelligence?
>>77168973cold climates are why white and east asians are the most intelligent and superior to you. When whites are fat and poor its just because of selection bias most of the time.
>>77169114There are plenty of retarded white people, it’s just that the AVERAGE intellect of white people is higher, so there is a better ratio of smart to dumb whites than is found in other races.
>>77169097>>77169107>>77169108First of all, stop samefagging. It is extremely obvious. Nobody... ok very few people on this board talk like that, is as stupid as that, and it is unrealistic they would all be replying at once in the same thread. Secondly... there is no secondly. I'm done, I'm not reading anymore of your diarrhea, I'm probably twice your age, just stop coming here and saying stupid shit please. You never made any money from a smartphone, you never made any more at all. Seriously, fuck off.
>>77169134Thats what I said bro its selection bias when you have a group of retarded white people
>>77169196Kek, cope and seethe some more faggot. Its funny how you cant even fathom multiple people calling you a broke retard and just rage quit the discussion. Im sure the other anons will share their thoughts on this.
>>77167076thanks for training my abs, bro
>>77169196Cope. You have no argument, which is exactly what I figured. You’re just huffing and puffing because you’re fat, stupid, and broke. You’re also a colossal faggot.I can absolutely guarantee I’ve been around a much larger and much more diverse cross section of people than you. I’ve been around people in county jail m, literal crackheads/drug addicts, and normal white trash/hood niggas. I’ve been around billionaires, millionaires, giga-Jews and entrepreneurs. I grew up without money around lower middle class people and then as my mom progressed in her career, I was around upper middle class/wealthy families as a teenager.Lower middle class/poor people simply lack the drive and the intelligence to get ahead. People who have money work their asses off but also couldn’t ever be successful without being intelligent.Dumb people are over represented amongst the lower socioeconomic classes, and these people also tend to be fatter because of the same traits that cause them to be poor. You’re ignorant as fuck and you live in fantasy land.
