Well, it's apparent that my appearance is not a "10". It's probably more like a 7 or 8. I play a lot of sports for fun, but I don't go to the gym. I have a lot of muscles on my lower body but don't have a lot of abs or biceps. I don't have time to go to gym and I'm already pretty healthy so there's not much more benefit to be gained. I also don't eat protein supplements so I have to get it from meat which makes it harder to get abs. I'm 5"11 and 150 pounds.

I don't have a "10" personality, but I don't want to change it. It works well for everything (jobs, groupwork, normal friends) except getting girls. I think girls only like boys that attract a lot of attention to himself during parties.

I'm in university right now, I feel that my appearance and personality alone are not enough to bring me girls. But, that's fine right now because I don't have time for them.

I'm curious if having a great career will help me get girls. If so, what kind of career and status would be enough to make me attractive for girls. I really want to be a "10". I want my girlfriend to be proud having someone like me. Given that I'm not going to change my looks or personality, would having a great career help? I'm going into finance and statistics so I'll probably work as an analyst for my first few years after school.

Honey, one woman's 10 is another woman's 2.

A lot of women don't like men who have to be the center of attention (personally a turn-off for me). Being a good provider is a selling point for men - won't lie to you there.

But being happy with who and what you are is appealing. You want a girl who is attracted to you physically and for your personality - you should never be advertising what you make or what you do to "hook" a girl.

i dont think you would want a woman who is into you because of your job. those are called gold diggers. a real woman will love you for who/what you are no matter what those may be. keep looking.

From my understanding (as a male), women are attracted to men who are passionate about life. Your career is part of your life. Your passion for HOW you approach your career will attract a woman more that WHAT your career is.

I agree that one woman's 10 is another's 2.

For me personally, how much the guy loves the Lord can take a 2 to a 12.

Just strive to be successful in every area of your life, always be kind & give to others. You'll find someone when the time is right.

Be yourself.

Leagues exist in a big way, but they're rules of thumb and are subjective.

Find out what a 10 means to you.

Stop worrying so much about what you can do to up your chances of getting a woman. The truth is, personality, confidence and how you treat a woman is going to win out what career move you make. You should be planning your career based on what you will love not on how it's going to score with women. I'm sure even at your age you will recognize the analogy: there is a lid for every pot. It's true. I see some men and wonder how the heck they ever got a woman period, let alone got married and had kids. I feel the same about some women but if that analogy was not true, then we'd wonder all the time LOL

To become a 10 just stand next to a extremely obese short guy.

1 = you
0 = the short fat guy.

10 get it? got it? good!

Getting a career is good - But you don't need it to define you in the eyes of a woman. Any girl who would only go out with you because of the added bonus of your "power career" is a gold digger, like someone said above, and not worth your effort. Ostensibly, your value will decrease if something happens to your job, and she'd be out the door in a flash.

From a female's perspective, I would date a school teacher who has character and respect in a heart beat, over a high-powered attorney, doctor or stockbroker...So don't get hung up on impressing some girl with your career. Do what's best for you.
