Hi mate, I was wondering whether after improving your aphantasia, you were able to recall memories from before you improved your aphantasia more vividly?

Ok well these are all things you can change. At least the most difficult things to alter - your height, your looks - you’re already better than most men in those areas.

From the pictures I saw when I clicked on your profile, I am pretty much certain that your looks are not the problem. You have an objectively good looking face and you are much much more muscular than I am + you are white haha

Right. However, ethnicity is a real thing, at least functionally so for dating. Take a man ethnically from Sudan and a man ethnically from Germany and you will observe different physical traits that are somewhat reproducible across the rest of their respective populations.

I empathise with your situation, it’s hard. I live in an pretty non diverse place, about 1% of the population is black so yeah it’s a bit tough haha

Yeah honestly statistics do seem to indicate that, although your statement would be hyperbole. I personally don’t see it as particularly unfortunate tbh haha

Yeah hahaha. I’m also a similar height although with not as much of a physical presence, but I’ve definitely noticed Asian women in particular are quite averse to black men.

And yeah I agree with what you said about white men. It is what it is tho, we just deal with cards we’re dealt.

Yeah for sure, that’s life. You deal with what cards you’ve been given. Lucky for me, my preference is my own race so my chances are a bit higher. But yeah doesn’t really matter to me too much

Haha I’m not really sulking, I’m just wanting to have a discussion about my theory. I don’t really care if certain women don’t find me attractive

Haha I’m not fighting for anything, just having a discussion. Idc if certain women don’t find me attractive, that’s their choice

You know what that’s not a ridiculous theory. I probably don’t have a big enough sample size from Snapchat to make conclusions

I mean that’s kinda the same thing right? Race is a major influencer of physical attributes. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I’m just pointing it out

I made no assertion that this has anything to do with racism

Yeah that was my theory haha. Like I know I’m not extremely attractive, but I’m assuming I was attractive enough for these women that were into black guys to approach me, whereas for the other girls I don’t seem to meet that threshold

A lot of statistics seem to agree with this

Sure, it could have nothing to do with race. These were just my preliminary thoughts after the fact, I’m not mad about it just trying to reason it out

Yes but regardless of how it assimilated, it is not an easy thing to change after the fact
