Let’s consider 2 guys:

The “Smart Guy” is average-looking, but smart, charming, and generous.

The “Handsome Guy” is very good-looking, but self-centered, selfish, and boring.

Let’s assume all other things (like their material status) are equal.

They both have a chance to strike up a conversation for say, 30 minutes, then ask for a woman’s phone number.

In your opinion, what percentage of women will give their number to

A. The “Smart Guy”

B. The “Handsome Guy”

“A” in a heartbeat. 30 minutes is ample time for “B” to show what an empty paper sack he really is.

In 30 minutes one isn't likely to learn about how generous, selfish, or self centered someone is. One might pick up on the self centered a bit if he's non stop talking about himself.

Charm is subjective but if A has the woman laughing (and not by acting like a clown), if he's shared an opinion or two the woman finds interesting, he gets the number.

Some women would give their number to both of them. Women who haven't haven't dated much or had the experience of having an eye candy boyfriend might go with B.

If it's meeting someone cold, not online, some women won't give either man their number.

Women aren't all the same, and some women will find B more attractive than others. Saying someone is handsome is like art. We won't all go into a gallery and pick the same painting to buy. There are a lot of variables and men looking for something that always works will find there's no sure formula.

30 minutes is not enough time to learn that someone is self centered, or generous.

The smart money gets phone number for both.

30 Minutes? Neither one. I don't give my phone number to strangers, and I have no interest in collectors. Meet me more than once, make some effort, and then maybe.

I prefer intelligent men. Really handsome men might be OK, but they are on probation for the first few months because too many of them think that they don't have to bring anything to the table but their looks. I've dated a few really good looking guys who were wonderful men, but most of them aren't interested in making any effort.

30 minutes wouldn't be enough time to discover a person is self-centered, but it is certainly enough time to learn that they are boring. I do not expect a man to be sparkling and entertaining, but there are limits to what is tolerable, and bores are not good company. Quiet and unassuming are OK traits, maybe good traits, if a man is intelligent enough to hold a conversation and to understand what I am saying.

I answered the way I did, as the OP set up that you DO know those things within 30 minutes.
If you don't, all you have is a average looking guy and a good looking guy.

due to the supreme power of the halo effect, superior physical attributes will always trump non-physical characteristics.

Women are far shallower than they like to make out, most of them will go for the handsome guy.

Neither.



I'm 100% confident in my ability to attract a handsome man that is also a good person.
