Actually, looks do matter, but not very much.
Take me for an example, I was always just an average looker (even a bit ugly, had nearly no hair at the age of 23, and my teeth are not really straight, and i am a little bit smaller than average.).
However I had no game at all back then, and I got some of the most beautiful ladies to sleep with me.
The reason for this was simple: I was always feeding the impression I am the boss. Even in school people rated me the first one who would make a million dollars on his own after school.
In fact now I have a small company with employers. It just came true, because I always believed i could pull something off like that. I am not anymore intelligent than others. But I always could pretend i know more than others even if I don't
The other advantage I have, is that i have no real approach anxiety, that definitely helped me.
However I am totally new to the game and now I am trying to get better at this. I have still very much to learn.
So the funny thing now is: I have a very good friend, much better looking than me (like a young george cloonie

), having also a great job and money, but he gets no girls at all. Never really. He has absolute AA and he gets rediculously nervous around girls. So I tried to open sets for him, and it ends almost with the girls just talking to me, because all he is saying to the girls is practically "yes/no/ok".
So in the end, i do not want to switch with him. I know that there are enough HBs out there, that like my looks (otherwise i wouldnt get any kiss-closes and stuff). And I absolutely love the challenge, with better looks it wouldnt be such a great challenge. So I am absolutely happy the way I am.
So don't worry, with bad looks, the game is even more interesting. And its just so great, to get to sleep with a HB9 and people asking you, how the hell you pull that off, you are not looking anything special.
So if you are not a good looker, be thankful, game is so much more fun like that. And who the hell wants to play this game in easy mode? I am in this for the challenge, and i want a real challenge.
Playing this game in hard more with looks below average is so much more fun, and believe me, soooooo much more rewarding, if you see how people look, when you get to kiss that hb9 girl.
