Great topic. Recently I've been going out 5 to 6 nights a week, and I regularly have girls say to me "OMG, you look just like Ryan Gosling!!" Does that mean I am good looking? Probably does..

so maybe I can offer some insight?
This is an interesting topic, as a couple years back I used to do a lot of male modeling, and recently I have done a shitload of pickup.
As pointed out previously, guys who aren't so damn "good looking" will assume you have tons of "game" if you're constantly going out and getting decent results. Or even have the balls to open really hot women. Just don't let anyone hold you back, and don't feel satisfied by your buddies' validation alone. Being handsome feels like cheating sometimes by just looking like the stereotypical "hot" guy when going out to a club, but without some decent PUA skills, it is completely worthless. I will explain;
Generally at a club, bar, coffeeshop, etc I will get lots of eye contact from women. I'll get subtle IOIs. But I NEVER get approached. Not exactly sure why, maybe it's intimidating to approach me..?
Anywho, here is the BIG ADVANTAGE to all you good looking guys.. you can open however you want, and the girls will more than likely respond VERY POSITIVELY to the approach. You need to keep the interaction going in a fun way, engage all the girls, and within the first minute I always get a "you look like Ryan Gosling" from one of them (which happened tonight) or "I absolutely love your shirt" or some other compliment/IOI. If you are an attractive guy you will get some girls giving you IOIs as long as you give some attention to everyone in the group of girls you are gaming, and keep things light and flirty. As long as you can hold a bullshit conversation, and touch the girl you want on the shoulder or back right when you say something, then release (I am sure there are other posts on this forum about kino escalation in conversation, but learn it and get a feel for it) she will enjoy your touch, and you can keep escalating.
Sounds easy, right? Well kinda.. Lets back up a second..
I have never had any of that stuff happen if I didn't approach a girl/group. As good looking as you are, it is your job as the man to approach the women! As a good looking guy you still must open the girl/group of girls. The upside is that they will probably give you a decently warm response, and if you can keep the conversation going/sexually escalate you are golden!
A side note, don't rely on looks. I have done that, and it does not work. Being good looking gets you the "audition" almost every time, but the heavy bald guy with way better game than you will end up taking her home. Right in front of you. Get solid game, and be attractive.
Breakdown: being good looking gives you a huge advantage when opening. You will get non-verbal IOI's waaay easier. But the fat guy with better game can still beat you! So keep practicing, and don't rely on your looks!
