Looks help; however , men go for " looks ", much more often than women do.

Most guys overlook the importance of this. You can be an ugly bastard of a guy and still end up with very desirable women. There are examples of this all over the place. But if you are an ugly bastard of woman, you are pretty much hosed.

Why this is important to guys is that if you aren't a GQ model, you can still legitimately attract gorgeous and otherwise desirable women by developing your other assets that women find compelling in a man. If you are average looking but self-confident and have your act together, you should have no problem getting high quality women in numbers. One of the biggest problems guys have is that they kind of assume that girls view guys in a way that is analogous to how guys view girls, when this isn't really the case and is almost certainly detrimental to men doing what they need to do to attract the mate they want. The world CAN be your oyster, but you have to learn the rules of the game. :-)

"If ya wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of view get an ugly girl to marry you". I can't remember who sang it.

Well stated, tortoise. I was first attracted to my husband because of his self confidence and his sense of humor second. It revealed his intelligence. We've been married 34 years.

Exactly so. For the most part, a woman will marry an abverage looking man, who is intelligent, a good provider, and has more than a modicome of social graces. They'll even go out with / marry an ugly man , if he is powerful enough.

Most men , today, don't know how to behave, woo, or court a woman. Heck, they don't even know how to " date " ! This is patently obvious, by reading not only the threads here, about : " Boo hoooooooo ... I'm aqlone ", and the sick garbage with the T&A pics of tennis players and whomever, who are well beyond the league of the males posting to them.
