Shotgun - very fair points, especially about the body language. I'm not sure tattoos will have any massive impact, not least because some girls will like tattoos and others won't. The body language aspect though could certainly have played a part in influencing thoughts. Had the photos all been stood entirely straight spined in the same pose, the results could well have been different.

Now back to the topic, OF COURSE looks matter but APPEARANCE matters more. Looks are set in stone but appearance can change in a heartbeat. I know people will whine and say genetics this and that, you can't change your looks but you can change your appearance. I have a theory, if we all work towards making ourselves look better and put a lot of effort into it, we will see that we fall into the above average looking category at the end. Yet, our mind will fight improvement all it can.
For me, I went from being a 4 or 5 as rated by guys on here to being a legitimate 7/10. Getting into beautifulpeople.com with strong marks and getting winks from women. The hardwork pays off but I HAVE to disagree with the beard, I stay clean shaven and get so many compliments. I am the kind of guy who grows a beard VERY FAST (North Indian genetics).
I never got ONE thing about looks, why is it that we put tan skin on the pedestal yet only admire European looking (white) people in the looks department? LOOK AT ANY Fashion magazine or anything of that nature, you only see White men in a lot of cases, in some rare cases you see a Black man, everything else is unheard of.
Oh good, let's turn another thread into a nonsensical debate about skin colour. Just what this thread needed......
