How important is it for you to be physically attractive?

Tagged:

It’s somewhat important. Not extremely important, and not unimportant, just somewhat important.

What would help is if you bounded the question somewhat. Say, if you were to ask, how important is physical attraction when it comes to getting girls at bars? I would say to that, maybe it’s a little important, but you will always be your own worst enemy when it comes to that, so don’t sweat it, just get out there and talk to girls. You’ll talk yourself out of more pussy than your looks could ever scare away.

If you were to ask me, how important is attractiveness when it comes to getting guys at bars? That’s a totally different story. It’s very important for women to look their best. But it’s not like women can’t talk themselves out of dick, either. Guys are very visual creatures, to be sure, but looks really only get your foot in the door. You have to hook him and reel him in, and that’s a task that relies on more than just a pretty face. Let’s not kid ourselves here, it’s not that hard, and pretty women will find it easier than less attractive women, but it’s still non-trivial.

I’m using the example of picking up mates at bars because it’s really one of the only arenas in which attractiveness is marginally important. There really aren’t all that many things in life that make or break based on how much attention you’re receiving from others. Certainly nothing truly important in life revolves around it. It can help, but pretty faces are a dime a dozen and you need something more to differentiate yourself.

I’ve written a guide for what women look for in men, I don’t know who you are or what you’re looking for, so I can’t know whether it will answer your question or not, but it does mention attractiveness, so it might be of interest.
