The UGLY truth: Looks DO matter..... a LOT

[David85]

I just came across this post at another site and I totally disagree with the author. Have a quick look: http://www.seductionscience.com/2011/can...you-girls/ You can partly agree with what he's saying, but he's deviating from the truth. Read the comments below the article by Kent. I agree with him 100%. The author also started removing his posts and asked him to message him privately if he wanted to continue discussion!

From all of my experiences as well as my friends, this seems to be the case. A tall, really good looking dude with average game (no pick up skills but can open his mouth and talk) will trump a short average looking dude with TONS of "game" and get that hot girl 10 times out of 10. Women don't like to be seen being approached by average looking guys, especially in bars and clubs, not because they don't like you, but because they don't want to be seen lowering their status in front of everybody else. Girls are shallow. Looks >>> Personality contrary to popular belief or at least through my life experiences. I take that back. It might not hold true EVERYWHERE, but that certainly appears to be true in the club scene and also possibly online dating sites. They want that tall good looking guy to parade them around their friends so that they can get that attention. On the plus side though, you will very rarely find a quality, long term girl in bars and clubs. Its just random partying, lots of drugs, and going for that same night lay. It's a waste of time and money and thank god, I am totally over that scene. (I'm sorry, but if I were a billionaire, I wouldn't by a 1000 dollar bottle for something that can be bought outside for a fraction of the price. It's not the money, it's the principle! but I digress)

Further proof to the point. As an experiment, I made 2 online dating profiles. One of myself with good pictures (I'm an average looking dude) and a great profile. I'm a fairly successful guy with a good career and lead a fairly interesting life.... but I'm average and 5'8". It's verrrry hard to get a hold of women on there. I've had a bunch of dates and met some people, but the amount of work you have to put in is absolutely ridiculous! Now, I also made another profile and all I did was post 3 pictures of a male model and said he was 6'2". Nothing else. The profile was bare. I shit you not, my inbox was flooded within a very short period of time by women who want to "get to know me". Again, they probably want that rare catch to show off to their friends. It's not uncommon to visit my account and see 10 unread messages, and I am fairly confident that if I actually were this guy, I'd lay EVERY SINGLE ONE. EASILY. no questions asked.

Mark. I absolutely love your posts and your products and I think you're doing an awesome job at putting guys on the right path to self improvement. It definitely helps, and everyone SHOULD be doing it all, but at the end of the day, you have to be VERY lucky to be born tall and good-looking, which plays a MAJOR part in being able to constantly pull women.

The idea that looks don't matter is as ridiculous as the idea that looks are EVERYTHING. Using online dating as proof of this is inherently flawed because women are encouraged to be more superficial online because that's really all they have to go of there. I'm a tall guy (6ft) and by all accounts, very good looking. I sucked ass with women for years because of confidence issues. I'd actually attract a fair number of women based on looks alone, but end up turning them off due to neediness. Looks help, but do not make your game.

Sigh... this fucking topic again. Yes, looks do matter...
