<p>The OP and most threads on this board are grossly misguided. I feel compelled to set this nonsense straight.</p>
<p>First of all, men are primarily attracted by physical appearance. It's evolutionary wired and proven in psychology.</p>
<p>Woman, on the other hand, are attracted primarily by attitude (personality) and what emotions the guy can make her feel. It's actually pretty complex though. Looks come into play, but are a much smaller factor than you think. First of all, fashion is separate and any guy can look like he has his s*** together. Secondly, a guy with looks probably already has high self esteem and confidence (huge attraction with girls), although any guy, even one EXTREMLEY UGLY MOFO, can have a confidence that surpasses a hot guy. This is also related to appearing needy, desperate, or supplicating chicks. All HUGE turnoffs. Third, the guy with looks has social proof, aka, he is seen with chicks in public and thus viewed as desiriable. If an average guy or extremely homely hobo goes up and starts talking to a hot chicks, or starts making female friends, and ANOTHER hot girl sees you walking with other girls (even if its a random, impersonal conversation) they WILL become more attracted to you.</p>
<p>Money is also a factor but again not remotely necessary for attracting hot chicks. Through evolutionary psychology, chicks want a guy who is a "provider" aka can care for their children. And through learning social symbols such as a nice suit or wads of cash, they become more attracted to guys with these symbols. However, you can show you are a protector, are in control of situations, or will take care of her in other ways; aka your actions and personality. You are paying attention to the means values, not the ends values, which are more important.</p>
<p>Also, girls like guys with expensive clothes because 1. it may convey a 'player' attitude at times and 2. they are concerned with how others perceive them so they want you to have the latest fashion.
<strong><em>You can easily have great fashion without being extremely wealthy. Too long to comment here, but most guys rich and poor are extremely clueless. No you're striped button down shirt is not original or awesome.</em></strong></p>
<p>Are you gettin me? Have you ever seen that extremely ugly, unshaven, dog-faced frankenstein making out with the hot blonde? Yes, you have seen this. It's because the guy had confidence and didn't give a flying f***. He also didn't get extremely nervous or bend over for this chick. In fact he probably came off as extremely cocky and made fun of her. I know I've seen this plenty of times.</p>
<p>You're right, wutang, intelligence and being nice aren't turn-ons for girls. It's not like they're turn offs either, they're neutral. However, many intelligent guys tend to overanalyze situations, stalling and hesitating and acting unconfident, those ARE turnoffs which can be changed. Being nice isn't a turn-off, its just that many nice guys may come off as needy, be an emotional punching bag, not be confident or dominant, supplicate, or refuse to acknowlege that they are sexual beings or have any sexuality (HUGE mistake).</p>
<p>"[hot girls] will trample all over you"
Only if you let them. Usually the hot girls I meet have a much smaller frame then me and are significantly physically weaker. Seems pretty hard for them to trample me. Unless I put one on a pedastal, call her "sweet goddess," and fail to realize that there are millions of hot girls out there, and actually realize my desires are more important than hers.</p>
<p>Btw, you may have noticed that many hot girls are "b1tches." This is not really their personality, but more of a "b1tch shield" they put up to protect themselves. This is because hot girls get hit on by guys ALL THE TIME. I mean put yourself in their shoes. Guys are approaching you all day, many undesirable, acting awkward and nervous around you and saying weirdo or creepy things. So they develop this b1tch shield. To destroy it (this only works on 9s or 10s who act above you or like b1tches) simply make fun of them playfully. Don't hate them for it, understand it.</p>
<p>"it may suck, but the first factor in a relationship is physical attraction"
-for women its not physical attraction, but simply 'attraction.'
-first visual impressions are extremely important, not really looks but if the guy knows what he's doing, is having fun, looks together, is with some friends or girls, in the center of attention, has a confident air, there are many things.</p>
<p>Most men prefer girls with high self esteem and find them more interesting than low self esteem girls. This is separate from attraction based on physical appearance, but hot girls may have higher self esteem.</p>
<p>On a final note, many guys are superficial and judge girls <em>solely</em> on appearance. These guys typically have no self-respect and will let a psychotic hot girl emotionally destroy him.</p>
<p>However, the true men that have respect must have a physical attraction for a girl (which isn't hard at all ladies), and then actually find the girl interesting and enjoy her personality and values. These men actually have higher standards than their superficial counterparts.</p>
<p>And personally, I'd prefer a '6' or '7' with a shining personality over a perfect '10' or even an 11 who is psychotic. And btw girls don't fret over this appearance thing. ANY girl can be super hot simply with EFFORT. If you find the right fashion, haircut, makeup, and have confidence you will be hot.</p>
<p>"Stick with girls in your league" Get rid of your limiting beliefs. Any girl is in your league.</p>
