Women are NOT attracted to power or money. Not in the least. However, women are attracted to the behavior that men who do have power and money often display. What this means, is that neither power or money are necessary to attract women. All that is needed, is a certain type of behavior being displayed. Thats all. And dont worry about Ruth, she thinks that "nice guys" are the most succesful group of guys when it comes to the opposite sex. She means well, but her ideas are out of this world and completely out of touch with reality. She lives on planet denial

We've been through this on other threads, if not this one. If it were true women only go for power and money, why are so many working-class guys married?

So, if you're broke but act like you're rich then it's the same thing with women? I'll have to respectfully disagree with this.

Obviously, there are some exceptions. The physical cream of the crop are definately looking for money. A lot of working class guys have very average women. If every woman could have a rich man then they would, just like if every man could have a beautiful woman then they would.

nothing wrong with wanting to improve and make an effort.



go to the gym?
eat better food?
expensive clothes?

post some ideas
If you have the money, hire an image consultant for say, two visits just to get you started and take notes of what she says in a notebook. Yes, your image consultant needs to be female. Do you have a feature like startling blue or green eyes? Accentuate it in the form of a nice tie, a shirt or choice of sweater.

The next thing you could do is visit one of the nationwide chain men's clothing stores for some free advice on what to wear and if it's within your budget, purchase a casual, a dressy casual and a dressy outfit from them.

If you're skin's not great, go to a dermatologist for advice. You could see a cosmetic dentist for ideas on how to improve your smile.

Definitely: start exercising if you don't (it'll help physically AND psychologically with your self-image) Eat a healthy diet get plenty of rest, abstain or moderate alcohol and cigarettes.

I would even throw a self-esteem support group in there. You're probably not ugly. You may have an unusual look, that all...and sometimes that is very "in" You may be unconventionally attractive.

Jesus man. quotes like this bother me. This is all I see from many male posters on this forum. Really? To call half of the entire human race superficial "creatures"?

OP, the first and most important step you can do to make yourself attractive is to never have the mentality of this poster, or any poster who can so callously state such blanket statements. Women are people too. Treat them like people, which means don't approach them with the intention of getting some, approach them as individuals who have an their own experiences and stories to share, and seek to bond with them as you would any other potential friend. Women, and people in general, respond very favorably to genuineness.

Other than that, what the rest of the posters have been saying helps (workout, clothing, etc), but you should do these things for yourself. If you look in the mirror and see an ugly creature, why should the women you are interested in see anything different. Indeed, they will inevitably see you as you see yourself. That statement I can say from experience.

Actually, even this isn't true. Brahmabull says his buddies have hot gf's, and they make a pittance compared to his income. (Note: the 'physical cream of the crop' isn't throwing itself at him, even though he has an absurdly lucrative job and is good-looking.) He says the buddy who's unemployed and living at home has a gf who looks like a porn star, she's so hot.

so....meh. :-/ Theory and reality are such widely different things...

Change your attitude. I've seen many attractive women with unattractive men simply because these men were very charming and positive.
