Posts like this always assume that any given man or woman actually needs to lose weight and doesn't have nice clothes and shoes. If they've already got those bases covered, there's not much more that can be done.

All this talk about looks. It makes you wonder that if looks matter this much than how is it that all of these "ugly people" and fat people have kids. Something doesn't add up

Looks 100% do matter. I've gotten away with plenty where as the average person would not. We as a society place good looking people of both genders on pedestals. We overlook their flaws and make excuses for them. I've done it, people have done it with me.

But also, how often have we seen good looking people bounce from relationship to relationship, unable to hold down a job, or have fans and admirers instead of friends? Some people have literally nothing to offer other than good looks. And life hits them like a ton of bricks when they're 40-45 and their looks have at least partially faded.

It's called a positive "attitude". It makes as much, or more, of a difference than how good or bad you look.
Oh please stop with this its all about your attitude stuff..an unattractive guy isnt gonna have nearly as many options as a good looking guy point blank..

And this confirms that leagues do exist. There are exceptions, but couples are generally pretty close to even in terms of physical appearance. You'll see an 8 with a 7 fairly often, but an 8 with a 4 is not common at all.

Its not impossible to attract somebody eventually but to say an unattractive guy can be on a level playing field with a real good looking guy is horsesh!t..

I never said that. I said it wasn't impossible.

Because they don't to some people.

To others they matter a lot.
