Hm. I prefer partners who are not obsessed with looks. In general. Maybe that's why my preference is somewhere in a broad spectrum of "average." I was with a man who was obsessed with looks and forever on about how ugly he thought he was and how hot and gorgeous he thought I was, and I got damn tired of it. I actually dialed down my looks many a notch just because of him. Mainly he was obsessed with the idea that a better looking man would come along and steal me from him. So the idea that lodged silently into my brain somewhere was that I was a bad person for being pretty, I was a temptation to other men and I had no morals or goodness, I was heartbreak and betrayal waiting to happen. So if I were less good looking, maybe I'd be more deserving of trust or respect? I stopped even wanting to be pretty.
Looks mean little for women. Looks do help and will make it a bit easier (or harder as sometimes a shy man that is good looking won't approach a woman and she won't approach him), but if a good looking guy comes across as timid, boring, overtly stupid (even though I've seen many people get away with this one) or any other trait that makes it look like a man isn't fun: that's when men struggle with women. And personality is far more difficult to change than say, lose weight.
Also, some women perceive attractive men as both more likely to cheat and more likely to leave long-term relationships.
Yeah, if a guy is good looking but can't back it up with some combination of confidence, charisma, humour, exciting, wealthy then it won't make a lot of difference. Guys being more visual will overlook a lot of faults in a woman if she's good looking.
In terms of OLD guys can tend to get dates easier if they look good but they've got to back it up in person with personality. As dating goes more online now, guys are judged more initially on their picture, so attractiveness does make a big difference. On its own though it's not going to get you far as a guy.
It takes a secure woman to date an attractive guy.
My partner is very attractive and gets hit on all the time... free drinks from bar tenders, free pastries at coffee shops. His dentist one told him he reminded her of Bradley Cooper!
Girls have hit on him when I’m standing right next to him.
I can see how it may be hard to date an attractive put together guy if a girl has been cheated on before, or has self esteem or body image issues.
Do you say anything to them when they do this? That's incredibly rude.

I think the more important question is, how does he react to that? Does he respond to them, and if so, how? Or does he ignore them, and walk away with his date, or with his arm around his gf?

If its a compliment, he'll smile and say thank you. I don't think he realizes it most of the time. He couldn't believe me when I told him the dentist was hitting on him by comparing him to Bradley Cooper. He had a follow up appointment with her and I asked him to see if she was wearing a wedding ring and she wasn't.
The few times its happened in front of me its been quick, the girl starts talking and then leaves. I think I have an "are you done?" expression on my face, and they walk away.
Recently I was talking to a good looking guy that I met on social media. Of course, I was attracted to him but then he made a public post about how good looking he was. This turned me off. I prefer the ones who are oblivious to it or don't care. He also had a SWARM of female friends and commenters on his social media and he was kind of whiny (i.e. poor me). So I lost interest.
Hmm I wonder if we were talking to the same guy. LOL.
I had a similar experience recently. He kept going on and own about being so good looking and women wanted to use him and blah blah blah.
If you meet a guy and you can tell he thinks he breathes wonders and craps miracles, and he knows he's really good looking, most likely he will be bad in bed.

Such a stupid game but I guess it works on some.
