I used to hit on gorgeous women at clubs or bars but I got tired of them. Too many games and they're just too boring to be around with. You never get their full attention because they have too many things going on in their lives or pretends to be. Even the ones that appears to be down to earth never really can get over the fact that their looks are more important than anything else.
As for relationships I think it's better to be with someone more average looking who's not gonna make a big stink about bad hair day or worry about pigging out a burger.
I know that the usual advice is "work out, makeup, hair, dress nice", however, those things can only do so much when your unattractiveness lies in genetic factors, like having a huge nose.
Thanks in advance for your advice. I appreciate honesty above all; that's always more useful.
That''s the reason that verbal communication is so
important as opposed to written communications , when it''s not face to face misunderstandings abound. I thought that you were a member of the 20's something cry in your cereal every morning crowd because you could not have your way with a drop dead gorgeous model. And the very next day dump on a cute plain Jane Looking Girl that could
& would make you a very happy camper. .
Agreed. And why I don't do online dating and when, if I have something important or meaningful to say, I don't text or email; Must be by phone or in-person, to avoid wild misinterpretations.
Not just dressing nice, but dressing...strikingly. Not necessarily looking slutty or flamboyant, but don't blend in. And sometimes calm is good, but sometimes calm can backfire, and vivacity could win the day.
Also, forgive me, because this sounds so retro but, you know, Helen Gurley Brown became rich and successful by telling ordinary-looking girls (whom she termed mouseburgers) how to attract men. Maybe you should read her books and see if any of her tips still apply.

I read her book. It was shocking and sad, very dated. She came from an impoverished background, and felt that her only option to advance past the secretarial pool was to sleep her way up the ladder. And that's what she did. And she advocated that for other women!! The professional world is much more open to women now than in her day. It's kind of a sad, tawdry little book.

I grew up in a house full of women and Cosmopolitan magazine was often present. Helen Gurley Brown was the editor and I do recall the term, "Mouseburger."
I did, however, question some of the advice the magazine offered women, and I would not be surprised if it is still being recycled today.
A friendly attitude and a smile will go a long way to overcoming appearance shortcomings. There's this lady in our local bank. She doesn't have nice hair, and she has a huge hook nose. She's probably a 3. But she's a happy person and very friendly. If I was single, I'd date her in a minute. Why? Fun and pleasant people are not easy to find. I've dated very pretty girls in the past. One woman as a runner up to Miss Milw. Most boring date ever.
