Ive posted pics here. I am about as average as it comes, especially when I didn't work out. Now I'm probably above but only cause I'm in great shape.

I know for a fact I have done FAR better with women than many guys who are better looking, taller, and make way more money than me. The difference is that thought never crosses my mind. When approaching a group of women I never thought "what if I'm not tall enough" or "what if I don't make enough" hell I would never even offer to buy a girl a drink except for very rare cases.

Construction men are pretty buff. You probably already had a good body back then. Or you had the whole bad boy persona going for you. Women do notice me when I'm putting the byronic heroic attributes on, but alas they don't approach with sex on their minds.

Seriously...

I mean, I've been with my guy for nearing 6 months now and I still have no idea how much money he makes...and he hasn't bought me anything beyond a cute little stuffed animal we made a joke over. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF I'M ATTRACTED TO HIM OR NOT?!? Oh, and none of my girfriends think he's attractive either.

Where is all this competition and money grubbing I'm supposed to be experiencing? Maybe I'm doing it wrong....

Yeah, but the both of you are the Wendy Darlings of the internet. In the real world women don't date men due to how good of a personality he has. Not until the woman can't compete with the younger women for the attention of the Alpha men, anyway. I did know one girl in college who had a very pleasant personality and would do anything for me, but even then, as a plain-looking girl she was dating the Alpha male. You just can't win, and if the only way for the average-looking men to get some **** is to be in a relationship/marriage, then the guy better stock up on some porn and lube 'cause I ain't getting married for what other dudes had for free, when it was young and hot.

More delusional claptrap. I'm not buying any of the garbage you're selling.

In my world, women date men based on all kinds of reasons and in my world women don't use terms like 'alpha and beta'.

My guy is perfectly average looking and not some underwear model and I adore him. Of course, he wasn't a pushy a-hole droning on and on about alpha males...so that's probably why. Oh, and we went dutch on our first few dates and tonight I'm treating him to dinner (I made reservations at one of his favorite restaurants and he doesn't know it yet) and a movie (which I already prepaid for). So..I guess what I'm saying is quit picking crappy women to date.

Exactly JJ, what normal person uses those stupid terms to begin with. I'll tell you who, trolls on forums who like to talk trash about women and stir up trouble.

Can you provide any valid argument that denies anything I say or you're going to mention some average dude you know who's cleaning it up with the women, or are you going to suggest that I hate women to invalidate everything I say because.... who doesn't paint women with golden paint can only be a woman-hater, am I right?

You're correct. Women date men based on all kinds of reasons. Protection. Validation. There aren't any other guy interested. She's been burned by good-looking men. She wants to marry and he seems like he's interested. He makes a lot of money. He's never dated that much before, he won't be hard to please.

Doesn't matter. I see good-looking women married to average-looking men. I only consider a couple, a real couple, when both of them are in the prime of their lives. So if you have a 20-25 year old woman, average or attractive, dating some guy who is equally average - I consider that a relationship. As long as the guy isn't a doctor/engineer or has family money.

And women do use terms to designate men with.


Marriage material = Beta.

Fling/casual = Alpha male.

Boyfriend= now if that ain't a sucker, I don't know what is. He's pratically paying long-term for what others had for free and I've never met a woman who hasn't eventually confessed to having had casual sex.

Intelligence e.g. IQ is largely inherited and thus a product of genes, confidence and social graces are products of environment and not so much inherited so I'm not getting the theory of selection for good genes,
First of all, raw intelligence is not necessarily a "good gene". In fact, it could be more of a liability than an asset seeing as incredibly intelligent offspring could have difficulties finding a mate or decide they'd rather not reproduce altogether for whatever reason. Also, intelligence itself is still not a well-defined quantity in science. It takes a very different skill-set to be a top theoretical physicist than it does say a world-class medical doctor. Also, your understanding of genetics seems to be very naive. Most of the greatest minds we have seen in the world (Newton, Gauss, Einstein, Maxwell, Hamilton, Euler, etc) were the product of parents with average intelligence, so it's not so simple as geniuses produce genius offspring and average people produce average offspring.

As long as one is within the average range when it comes to intelligence, it won't matter much at all when it comes to reproduction. Even then, there are many, many stupid but handsome guys who will spread their genes around while many ugly but incredibly intelligent men will end dying without ever reproducing. Nature tends to overwhelmingly prefer to select for good looks than intelligence.

But in general, I agree with your premise that confidence and personality are very, very inconsequential to a woman's decision when selecting a mate. Just replace intelligence with looks and your post would be spot on.

And what if the woman is an engineer? And what if the woman supports herself just fine and values the man for his companionship and the fact that she likes him?

Seriously. You have some weirdly warped views on women.
