Just curious to see if this is as accurate as it’s been said to be since the beginning of time. I’ve heard both sides of it. I’ve heard with enough confidence there is no such thing and I’ve heard the opposite, that no amount of confidence will win the girl. My experience personally has always been zero so I’m on the accurate side of the statement pretty much. Any thoughts?

    This is not how I would describe it, though I can’t speak for all women. Looks are a primary filter, if you don’t look good enough for me to have a possibility of being attracted to you, you are never going to dig out of that bucket by having a good personality, or intelligence, or lifestyle, matching in other ways.

    OTOH, there is no scale, it’s a yes or no question. If you look adequate to my whatever subconscious filter that is, no extra credit for looking better than good enough, everything else is what matters. No man is so good looking that I could find him attractive only based on looks, but some are so bad looking I cannot.
