We're also not as different as you and many others think we are. As any social scientist will tell you, there are always more within-group differences than between-group differences. Anyone who starts a sentence with "All men are...." or "Women always..." is full of caca.

Don't be ridiculous. Women prefer good-looking men over those who look like a baboon's arse just as much as men prefer good-looking women over those who look like a baboon's arse. All things being equal, there's not a human alive who wouldn't choose an attractive person over an unattractive one, and what is attractive is almost formulaic: Symmetry of face, a body that is neither extremely over- or underweight, clear eyes, smooth skin, and healthy hair and teeth.

If you think women do not respond to the biological cues of a healthy, strong male, you're living in la-la land.

LMAO!!! The majority of the ugly guys with game and confidence that get hot women also have money. I can assure that is how it works most of the time. You do realize that the hot women are getting hit on by the hot guys who also have confidence, experience, and probably lots of money too. I know one 10 (and this is a 10 by NYC standards which is high) who dates guys that appear to be way below her. She married a 5 and divorced him for another 5. What you don't know is that she is into very intelligent, nerdy guys and in NYC this often means they have substantial income. What I mean by that is although she LIKES intellegent guys of average looks, these guys are not working at McDonnalds. Her ex was some big wig at an investment bank and her current man is a higher up at Google. If you saw them together you'd think "hey, I can get a woman like that too" and yeah, maybe you could if you were an investment banker, a lawyer, a EVP, a doctor, etc. The point is that so called average guys that are with hot women have something else they've brought to the table to match her hotness. Usually it's money, power or intelligence.

What's shallow about wanting somebody you're attracted to?

I have a friend that's 32, maybe slightly above average looking, and lives at home with his mom. The only thing he has going for him really is his height (he's about 6'2), his intelligence (which he doesn't put to good use), and his......GAME.

He gets more hot girls than anybody I've ever met. One of his girlfriends is a 26 year old former model with a degree in biochemistry and her own business.

I have other friends that are in similar situations, but this is the most drastic.

Explain this, based on your theory.

Sure personality goes a long way but in most of those relationships I highly doubt the women would have dated if the guy was a slob or a jerk. Most of those situations were where people met offline then things happened. That's not the same thing as a fat ugly poor guy going on a dating site and rejecting women and going for women more than them.

I can't be the only one who thinks Ascension2012 and Johnny Boy seem like they are perfect for each other.

Address the examples about my friends. If your argument makes sense, then this comment is justified.
