Women(and men) are picky about looks and your skateboarder dude proved that. Everyone bases their initial decision off of physical attraction, why would I date some I am not physically attracted too? This becomes even more evident in online dating.
No, it didn't prove that. It proved that he was dressed in a way that indicated he probably wouldn't have much in common with the woman he approached. If he'd been dressed differently, she may have reacted differently. If it had been me he'd approached, I definitely would have reacted differently if he'd been dressed even in jeans, let alone something a little more formal, rather than teen clothing. The guy was attractive, he was just dressed like a clown.
"As much as it pains some guys on here to hear it, it's not that tough to get laid if that's all you're looking for (and easier, still, if you have pretty wide-open standards for that)"
I think it would be very tough for me (and many others) to get laid.
A key difference between men and women is that they often have the reverse experience in this regard. What you're saying is spot on imo, it's just the reverse for many men.
I think what you're trying to say(and if it is, then I agree) is that its easier for men to get into a relationship as opposed to getting random sex with hot woman. Women on the other hand, its easier for them to get random hook up sex if they wanted, but harder to get a relationship/men to commit. It's kinda like that old saying men use love to get sex, and women used sex to get love.

I think this version is more accurate:
Women are powerfully aroused by love, and men fall in love with great sex.

Yeah, that's how it works in the real world. Looks, money, confidence -- these get you nothing if there is an obvious reason why you won't be compatible longterm.

That's definitely not true. Everyone is powerfully aroused by love. Some of us, myself included, have a much harder time finding reciprocation than others, however.

Clothing that one wears is just as artificial. That is still basing things on looks.
Plus, personally, I don't want to be with someone who "has a lot in common" with me. I already have myself. I want someone who adds something to my life that I don't already have.
Like Paula Abdul said, "it's a natural fact, we come together because opposites attract."

Clothing can be an expression of the personality. It involves decisions & taste, and certainly can say something about someone. IMO, it says more than whatever your genes handed to you in terms of facial features & basic body type.
FYI, you sound like a very deep intellectual quoting a Paula Abdul song.
