The question here should be whether looks help.
In a scenario with two guys, everything equal, the guy with the good looks or is physically attractive is going to get laid more, have more options, and be able to afford making mistakes.
A guy that has unattractive features (short, ugly, etc) will always be working with a disadvantage. However, this does not mean that they cannot pull. Far from it (as shown from the anecdote evidence in this thread). They just need to overcompensate in other areas. They will never get a free pass the same way that a physically attractive guy will, so they need more personality, better game, bigger muscles, fancier clothes & cars, higher status, etc.
No point denying this fact, it's just the way it is. All else being equal, women will never have the same visceral response to a guy who is 5'5" and 140 lbs as they will to a guy who is 6'4" and 240 lbs. Physically unattractive guys are basically playing the game on a higher difficulty setting. So if you're physically unattractive you have to stack the deck in your favor in other ways. Don't deny that fact, own it. You will have to try harder to get the same results. Embrace that as an opportunity to make yourself the best you can be.
