To avoid being called a troll, I won't state my views on this subject at present, I will just ask you what you feel on the subject.
1. Do you believe women and men both need to be physically attracted to a person before they will entertain seeing what that person's personality is like?
2. Do you believe that - because men are more desperate for sex; do most of the approaching, paying, wining and dining - women are able to be pickier? Have you ever met a guy that wouldn't date a girl because she didn't earn X/year, lived with her parents, didn't drive a car, etc?
3. What's your dating life like and what do you think the cause is?
To the mods, I'm not a troll and as far as I know, didn't say anything against the rules. If I did, please point it out to me and I will edit it out.
Physical attractiveness is all one has to go on initially. I do believe we are way more focused on looks and material things then we should be though. Also media plays a good role in how we see sexual/physical attraction too.
if she is breathing, and i can dead-lift her...she's a keeper!!
And do you think women think "He's not attractive facially, but let me speak to him and see if I like his personality"? Or do they just move onto the next guy whose looks they do like?

How can women be pickier if they rarely get approached? This thing about women having the luxury of being picky is a myth for the majority of women.

But isn't this assuming that the only reason a woman would speak to a man is to try to get a date (or sex)? I talk to all kinds of people, and even if I didn't find them initially attractive, sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised.

For the most part, yes. There needs to be that initial "wow" moment, that connection, that "spark". But there has to be more there than just that initial attraction for anything more meaningful.

I don't really believe that's true about most men, but I do believe women are able to be picker since they normally have a much bigger pool of potential partners to choose from.

Nope, never. And vice-versa, most women I've known haven't been that shallow either.

Non-existent, probably due to the lack of attractiveness on my part, my general lack of social skills and interesting personality traits, the lack of a decent pool of potential partners to choose from. I really thought it would get easier as I got older, but it's been just the opposite.
