Ok, I've been doing some reading through this forum and there is a lot of good advice. I see that most of the methods have to do with the psychological nature of men and women. What I really want to know is:

How much does physical attractiveness play into the effectiveness of different methods?

Example: I am not that fit but I'm not fat either. I just don't have much interest in sports or the like so I have an average figure.

Is that going to effect how attractive I am to the opposite sex? Is "the game" easier for more physically attractive men?

A little background to get better answers. I have no trouble approaching women. I talk to them all the time and have no fear of rejection. I make people laugh easily and I'm fairly intelligent. I excel at attracting fat girls but hot chicks never seem to even give me notice. I'm pretty sure my approach and close methods need improvement. That is, after all, why I am here. I'm just concerned that I might be wasting my time and maybe I should hit the gym for a year first.

This is, perhaps, my biggest insecurity and it probably shows in my body language.

Attractiveness and status are very important. What does the first letter in Style's L.A.S. V.E.G.A.S. system stand for? LOOKS.

Style acted like he was a total geek who was ugly and nerdy, but he does have a really nice smile, which goes a long way. Not to mention that even in his AFC days, he still had epic status as a New York Times writer and cohort of rockstars and celebrities.

I have a female relative who is good looking, a solid 8. Her husband is short, unhealthy, not intelligent, not motivated, and immature. Why did she marry him? He has a big inviting smile. That's literally it. She even admitted that.

While a nice smile is always good to have, it's not the only thing to rely on. Some guys don't have nice teeth, but they have great bodies. You need to have something that is physically appealing about you otherwise you will need some epic status to win over the hot girls. Yes, confidence, body language and solid inner game are part of the equation too, but when you set those things aside, it comes down to the fact that women are primarily looking for status and looks.

Ninja, I agree with much of what you posted to OP questions. I will add that a woman can fall in love with a man she has never seen, but rarely will a man fall in love with a woman they have never seen.

In my opinion, looks are much more important to men than they are to women.

That is not to say that looks do not play an important part at the initial contact, but women are much more capable of overlooking them if there is an emotional connection.

Women = emotional beings
Men = logical beings
