I have uncovered that I have a pair of beliefs that reinforce each other: I’m low status because I’m unattractive; I’m unattractive because I’m low status.
It make sense now why AM6 wasn’t able to break me out of my status consciousness (it made a lot of improvement, but it didn’t remove it), and why DMSI wasn’t able to make me (feel and act) attractive. It also makes sense why I’ve always felt fear of getting attacked by higher status males if women find me attractive.
I had the reflection that my beliefs here must be similar to the way in which women perceive their own physical attractiveness and status to be conflated. I wonder if this is unusual and unproductive for a man—women don’t perceive attractiveness the same way as men. I also wonder if this is something that these subliminal missed, and that’s the reason that it’s only coming up with OGSFv2, or if I just am a particularly bound by these beliefs.
