Damn, I forgot to follow the script! I kept my "number" embarrassingly low, then willingly married a smokin' hot broke dude, who aspires to follow his dreams instead of the dollar. Put his ass through college, too.

ETA: No, I didn't marry him because he is hot. I actually wasn't that attracted to him until I got to know him better. And it just happened that we had similar goals and values.

Looks are extremely important to both sexes. Its just that women dont want us men to know just how important it is.

If you were to take two guys, Guy "A" is very attractive with very good body, and Guy "B" is just okay, with an okay body; all other things like income, education, personality, mutual interests, etc. being EXACTLY the same, 99 out of 100 women would choose Guy "A". The one gal who would choose Guy "B" will do so because of her own personal shortcomings (lack of attractiveness, weight, past failed relationships, etc.).

There are a LOT of things people (of both sexes) look for in the opposite sex, being physically attracted to the other person is something most people just want.

Is only something someone would say who has zero experience with the opposite sex. Seriously are you kidding me? Do you live in your mom's basement?
I love how if you're very attractive, you cannot also be incredibly intelligent, kind, a high earner, ambitious etc.
As if human beings are two dimensional.
The guy I'm with now is hot as ****, genuinely kind to everyone, incredibly smart, and everyone loves him. He makes less than me for the time being, but who cares??? He has enough to pay for everything he wants in life.

I would never marry for money. Money can come and go. Then what will you be left with? Hopefully someone with an amazing personality who you're madly in love with.

Yes they are. It's just more polite to say otherwise.

And as if I couldn't get any more ugly, I'm going to probably have a giant scar on my forehead. Like I needed that.

Well there are levels to that.

I mean obviously Aishwarya Rai (voted most beautiful woman in the world some time ago) is not going to be interested in Danny Devito. And then if he claimed "women only care about looks" would people take that seriously?
Everyone cares about looks. Unless they are blind...
And how would you be able to get it up for a woman whom you find disgusting?

EVERYONE CARES ABOUT LOOKS

So, you are saying that looks are extremely important to women because they would choose the better looking guy over the average looking guy when every other single thing about them was the same? People not caring as much about looks doesn't mean that they prefer ugly people. It doesn't mean that they don't think attractive people are attractive. It means that someone's personality can influence their attraction for someone. So if Guy A was hot but boring and Guy B was average but intelligent and funny - Guy B might win out and actually seem better looking at the end of the day than Guy A because of his personality.

Yes, I do. I do want men to know how important it is. If I'm going to shave my legs, exfoliate, style my hair, wear make-up, and walk in heels, men can trim their nose hairs and wear something a little more formal than t-shirts, ball caps, and flip-flops that expose nasty toenails. If more men cared about how they looked, there wouldn't be half as many bitter lads on this forum. I'm convinced of it.

And by caring, I don't mean deliberately trying to look like a moron or a filthy dirtbag and calling it ironic.

Yes OP, you are absolutely right. Women are hypocrites, we lie, we want all you money... whatever, insert it here > * <.

We're horrible, stay away from us.

If you want to date, ask a guy.
