Actually, I think Alyson is lovely...a very attractive and a pretty girl, IMO. Definitely a real cutie!!

Well, I'm just glad that women are not as hypocritical as men...for men's sake, that is. The double standards that exist are simply ridiculous.

Smile and have fun and people (men included) will gravitate toward you.
Agreed 100% with Rhett here!

I can agree but there are also many women out there who won’t go out with a guy if he is from a lower level which is a guy who’s income is less, his job is not as flashy, his car is not cool, he is poor, he’s ugly to their eyes, etc.

You even mentioned a guy friend you have who left a girl who was gorgeous for one that was not that great looking. See, looks are not a priority for every single men/women out there.

You posted 2 pics and descriptions for different girl A and B. When it comes to interests, women generally feel more attracted to the nice guy who has lots of money, attractive job/profession, nicer car, status, etc. Not the other way around even though exceptions may exist. This is no news really.

Women, on the other hand, feel the opposite. The only man who will be attracted to you because you own a home or make a good living is a loser. But I'm guessing you don't want a loser
This is something I have said in different occasions. Generally, men have no problem being with a woman who is from a lower level, but women? The opposite.

Alyson13,
Would you be willing to date a guy who is from a lower level? That is, a guy who makes less than you, doesn't dress with expensive clothes, drives a car that's not luxurious or as cool, rents a studio in not the greatest part of town, etc.?

and since when did women look across a crowded room at the guy with the hot personality? "damn girl, look at that guys personality, I have to get with that" Women are also attracted visually as well at least initiallty, they are less superficial looks wise in terms of what they are looking for, but nonetheless they are superficial too

I think she is too. I just can't get past the hairdo, but that's an easy fix. Who knows what's going on below the neck. She may very well have a rockin' bod, and that can be intimidating to some men. I know I have the tendency to get tongue-tied around women whom I think are attractive. That being said, change of venue maybe?

No. Women look at the guy who is able to captivate a crowd. Women look at the guy who has unstoppable confidence. Women go for guys that can make them laugh. Any man can work on any of these qualities.

There's little a woman can do, however, to change the way she looks. mod cut:
