Attractive, Wealthy Man

The reason men wonder about this question so much is surely because when they look at women they consider to be beautiful they almost always see them dating men who are: 

• Physically attractive (handsome, symmetrical face, good hair, well-built body, etc.) 
• Wealthy (a businessman, a rock star, an actor, etc.) 
• Both: attractive and rich

These men therefore assume that physical attractiveness and wealth are prerequisites for attracting and dating beautiful women. The $64,000 question is: is it their looks and bank balance that allow these men to date these women or is it something else?
 
Brutal truth is necessary here—there’s no point lying to yourself. Good looks not only help, they give a man a big advantage in the dating game. They just do, it’s a fact. Any man who denies that fact either secretly resents that it’s true or is so oblivious to the rules of the dating game that he’ll never stand a chance of succeeding in it anyway. You, I hope, are neither of these men. At this point, we can separate readers into two main categories:

1. Good looking men who now know they have a significant advantage in the dating game(thanks to their good looks).
2. Men who don’t think they’re good looking enough to have an advantage in the dating game (because they lack the good looks necessary to possess an advantage).

All pretty straightforward far. The money question the  is easiest to answer, so we can get it out of the way right now: no, women don’t care. That is to say, women don’t care unless you give them a reason to care. You’ll notice this principle a numberof times as you further your understanding of the dating game. For example, if a woman asked you what you worked as and you said, “Actually, I’m broke. I’m unemployed…looking for a job” it’s quite likely she’d think less of you (or consider you to have less value) than if you rephrased the summary of your situation in the following way: “I’ve just come out of a job managing a team at a design firm and next I’m hopefully going to go into a designer role at a bigger, better place.” You’ve not lied here (well, you’d be lying if you repeated this line yourself—you need to use your own life’s facts). You’ve just reframed your situation and given a positive, high value answer. The same thing roughly applies to the question of good looks and whether being very good looking, or more to the point, being average or below average drastically affects your chances of having success with women. If most people would rate you a 7 out of 10 on the ‘looks’ scale but you act like you’re a 4 out of 10, then you’ll probably be perceived as about a 5 out of 10 on the overall attractiveness scale (which is a total score based on everything about you). If you’re a 10 out of 10 but for some strange reason see yourself (and therefore act as if) you are a 4, you’ll probably be perceived as about a 7/10 on the overall attractiveness scale. It’s not an exact science, it’s just a way of explaining the following fact:
 
The better looking a man is, the more likely it is that he’s had success with women from an early age and, therefore, the higher the chance is of him possessing and demonstrating the most important qualities a man can possess and demonstrate to appear attractive to women: confidence, social intelligence, motivation, a casual attitude, humor, emotional awareness, etc. In other words, his good looks give him success and his success develops strong, ‘alpha male’ tendencies within his personality. 

Imagine if a man was born with a brain that had something slightly wrong with it. His looks are average but when he looks in the mirror he sees a 10 out of 10: the perfect personification of male beauty. Think of what this knowledge, albeit flawed and inaccurate, would allow this man to achieve socially. Would he do better with women than a man of equally average looks who is aware of his mediocre physical appearance? Of course he would. Absolutely, positively, yes.
And this is the lesson you must learn and believe in. Good looks provide an advantage. Average looks are only a disadvantage when they affect a man’s belief in himself. And looks that are way below average disadvantage a man only so far as he cannot compensate for his mediocrity through positive behaviour and big demonstrations of high social value. Read and re-read those facts, think about where you fit in and know the overriding principle: your looks are fixed, your modes of behavior are not. Fix the latter and the former either becomes unimportant (if you’re average or below) or merely a nice addition to your overall level of attractiveness (if you’re above average). Either way, you can achieve massive success.
