This thread really interests me thanks for posting mate. I in part agree with
Madals and
Bboy sleepy and part think half of you are bloody mental
At different points in life attraction is important and others not so much.
Especially when gaming younger women early to mid 20's looks matter a lot on the approach/open/and warm up, when gaming a set larger than 1. It comes with the territory, looks, fashion and how someone presents themselves are key in all aspects of a woman's life at that point in time. When you approach in a club it can be very difficult to speak properly. Attraction at this point is around 90% visually perceived.
(Thats a rough guesstimate, but usually on approach i would say its around 55% looks to 45% verbal) Yes some of that will come from charisma, body language and perceived social value but its ludicrous to think that looks don't play a large part in that equation.
I also feel you can negate that effect to a manageable level with a high SV. I feel Madal's point on which female to go for the HB8 or the HB9 was misunderstood here. He was getting at that on a purely physical level beauty is an advantage. Not that its the be all and end all. (I apologise if it was me who misunderstood.)
There was another statement made by someone, who i hope doesn't really believe this, that an attractive wing would affect your game. I think an attractive wing boosts social value, as if you are seen with attractive people it will raise the perception of you not lower it!
Its extremely important to note that when a woman approaches her thirties she is far more at home with what she wants in a man and what she is looking for when she meets him. It is much less important then at that point that the male is outstanding in the looks department. What he offers her in the areas of mental satisfaction as well as security and a light hearted aspect really help.
The
most important point of note is that to base any woman on an attraction scale is mental! Every woman has different turn ons and turn offs. What the game allows us to do is to develop the self worth, confidence and (cruchlike) material to get us into the field and develop the intuitive skill that is the game. I would say that yes attraction will certainly help in this to begin with but in the end its all really the same thing. Attractive people are naturally more self assured and so will find progression much easier. It just takes us average or unfortunate looking guys a while to catch up.
To round up, one of my inspirational figures is an average looking guy who i met through working in bars, nothing to do with pick up. He has bedded over 100 women some brilliant and some atrocious however he once told me that;
"There is no such thing as punching above your weight, you set the bar no one else if you want to weigh in at a 7 one night and a 9 the next its up to you, you are in control to grab that big beautiful bull by the horns and wrestle the shit out of it!"
To this day i have adopted that philosophy and its worked for me.
