Just take a look at the hardcore biker world. We were just talking the other night about how these obese, filthy guys score the hottest babes...the ol' bad-boy syndrome rearing its ugly head again!

His wife is a smoking hot blonde stripper, in perfect shape after having 3 kids. They are living happily ever after, in a doublewide trailer that actually looks to be 2 smaller mobile homes that someone welded together.

If he's so smart then why's he so poor?

Not in my observations. The "babes" look just like the bikers!

well... no education, inconsistent work ethic, erratic decision making ability, poor habits, and a criminal record doesn't exactly put him on the fast track. routinely deciding not to show up at work anymore, a la office space, is frowned upon by most employers. he and one of his brothers were doing fine, though, for a time before the chirrn came along, supported by food stamps and his wife's work.

this is not to say his wife is a catch; she's just physically attractive, that's all.

For me its a combination of looks and personality that is compatible.

The guy doesn't have to be brad pitt in the looks department, just as long as I feel the attraction and its strong. The attraction is based on looks and personality. But looks in terms of criteria that I find attractive, ive seen many guys who most women would consider really good looking but that aren't my type. Also personaility wise, they may not be my type either.

Not necessarily, there are plenty of instances i didn't find a girl attractive at first or i should say less attractive than i originally perceived and after getting to know her better she became more attractive.

I'm not saying if I'm at a bar looking to pick up women that i'm looking for personality or going out hitting on a random girl. But, I think the OP is quite a shallow post and only covers a specific instance, when there are many ways people can start a relationship.

Difficult question since if you're really ugly it will very difficult to find a good looking mate.

That said, once you hit about "average looking" it's all about being well groomed and behavior. A confident average looking guy can get almost any woman out there. Then again if you're bitter and looking for support to back up your idea that women only want good looking guys then your attitude will hold you back completely. The brain has an amazing power to reinforce whatever idea you have.

Hollywood tells us women want either a nice, tame, weak guy or some kind of adonis figure. It's not true. The majority of them just want someone decent who can make them laugh, has the cajones to flirt with them, and doesn't supplicate to her.

A lot of girls my age (early 20s) don't have any idea what they want! It's up to people like us to help them

And another thing, it's not girls picking the "bad boy" over the nice guy. They're picking someone who is strong over someone who is weak, and unfortunately the weak tend to be nice. Whatever portion of girls who have a real fetish for the criminally insane are to be avoided like the plague!
