Do looks matter at all?

Where I live a lot of women won't even talk to you if you don't meet their physical standards. How will game work if a woman doesn't even talk to you? Anyway, there is no reason to think that the importance of looks is the same everywhere.

^ both alexander and julien from RSD are good looking guys.
i was out with my wing on saturday and we both have different looks (blue eyes/soft features vs. dark eyes/masculine). we're both over 6"0 and have game so we get a lot of attention. however, you can tell that girls choose between us more based on their own preferences rather than in terms of what we're doing or saying.
contrast is good.

Looks do matter, as does game, bank roll, the way you carry yourself, status, and sex. There are lots of factors as to why women are attracted to men. My suggestion, try and live up to as many as you can. If you aren't good looking, learn to be cool, make money, and dress nice. Looks are just about the only one of those things you can't control. If you don't look good, make up for it in another way.
At the same time, if you're in the top 5% looks wise, getting laid should not be a problem for you. I have a friend from Venezuela. His sister is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever met. If he is her male equivelant, I see why girls go crazy for him. He's 6'7", mellato skin with long curly gold hair and built. It is unbelievable watching this guy go out. I've met lots of good looking guys that pick up easy, but I've never seen anyone come close to the eaze which he pulls. We go to the club, girls approach him. The kid doesn't need to do a thing. He'll get approached by a good 5-15 girls every time we go out. I'll start talking to a girl, she isn't into it. I introduce her to him, she can't stay off him. But this kid's looks must be top .001%, cause I really have never seen it this easy for anyone to pick up with close to 0 effort. I've taken some of my other friends out with this guy, who also have good looks and game who pull on the reg, and they are absolutely amazed when they see how well this guy does. (One of those friends randomly met a girl and banged her that night, turned out she was the daughter of one of his coworkers).I've seen him pull 2 girls in one night at the same club at seperate times. The first girl was married. The kid is unbelievable. And he'll always tell you, "Let the girls come to you, that's the key." Right, easy to say when you're a 6'7" 250 lbs. of pure muscle venezuelan mellato with gold hair.

Like I said before, "looks don't matter", is probably the number one myth in the PUA industry. Ofcourse RSD guys are going to say that looks don't matter and it's all about game, they're selling $3,000 weekend seminars to a bunch of chodes, who think if they just plop down that much, they'll learn the "secrets of pick" and change their success with women.
Sure I'm sure there are guys who get a lot out of those seminars, but what I noticed is the guys who do the best are the ones who are already decent looking or above average (6-8 range), they just lacked the confidence or some of the social "savoir-faire" needed to meet and hook up with women.
I hate to say this, but human genetics are all over the map, some guys rank in the top 10% in looks, while other dwell at the bottom 10%, guys that women would rate as 8+ in the looks dept, don't really need tight game. Guys who are average or just above average 5-7 definitely need game, and have realistic chances of doing well with women, upon learning and becoming proficient in game.
For the guys 5 and below on the scale, no amount of game is ever really going to land them women 2 points or higher on the scale. Guys' who are 5's that are dating 7's are doing so because they bring something else to the table, they have serious social value, or they are affluent and can provide an attractive lifestyle to a woman.
Examples of social value: being in a band, bartending or djing at successful bar/night club, being a respected artist and owning an art gallery. Examples of lifestyle: wearing pimp tailored suits, rolex watch, rolling in brand new Mercedes Benz, owning a luxurious condo with pimped out furniture, eating and drinking wine at the finest restaurants, flying away to international vacations.
P Dog, I respect you, I'd go as far as to say you're a virtuoso when it comes to this game stuff for a guy your age. However, you're still a young kid, you're very impressionable, it seems like you're being a bit overly influenced by these RSD guys. With a bit more life experience you'll figure out how things really are.
Final point, I'm not saying game doesn't matter, let that be know, I think game is crucial. However, if you're a very good looking guy, game is not necessary, as you will still have an abundance of women willing to spread their legs for you. If you are unattractive, game will be more necessary then ever, but realistically you're not going to be pulling high caliber attractive women, unless you bring another element to the table (game alone won't cut it).

Of course looks matter... I mean just having green eyes vs. brown eyes in South America makes a huge difference as one example.. Seeing girls gasp or even ask to touch when they see a guy with a perfect chest and six pack.. Girls that straight up discriminate based on height requirements...
Sad that so much can be determined by looks.. But I wonder what the weight is compared with other factors..
My impression is that if you are a goodlooking guy, you will never have a shortage of 7s in your life. If you have really good game, you can sleep with 8s regularly. 9s and 10s I think you need fame/money/status or supreme looks and game.

The one thing that game has taught me is that I'm a fairly good looking guy. Seriously, as my game has improved over time I have started to notice random positive feedback on my looks and other non-game attributes.
The way I see it is that improving your game is like improving your interview skills for a job. Stuff like your looks, height, intellect, and income could be considered your resume. You can't say one is more important than the other, they are all important. Just like with a job, a girl can screen you out right before you walk in the door. Other times you can be like Will Smith's character in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness and pull something that you had no business pulling based on your "interview" skills.

I've seen many customer couples of average looking joe and hottie.
A lot of guys here would say 'yeah bro, to have a girl hotter than you, you gotta act like Alpha, like you own the girl, like you own the place blah blah'
this is bull shit.
you know what I see? I see a a guy acting normal next to a hottie. he doesn't appear to be confident nor too shy. He is not screaming to be alpha. he is just chill. he is comfortable with the girl and the attention from other people... it looks like he is with one of his bros....

Whether looks matter or not doesn't matter if you don't have the kind that you can lean on where girls will go out of their way to approach you. Only a very small percentage of men have it like that. That's just life.
The rest of us have to get out there and just let our nuts hang and approach til we find a chick that's digging us.

It's true that a male model will get mad attention on a dating site, or perhaps wherever he goes for that matter, you can't discount the role played by a well written profile and interesting openers for guys with average looks/height. Search around the online dating forums for more info.
I think online looks are the bait. It's the thing that gets someone to click on your profile to see what you're about. That's where the well-written profile comes in. That's what really gets someone to initiate some kind of contact. Women can get away with nice pics and a weak profile, and still have tons of dudes sending messages. Guys, not so much because I've found women are less likely to initiate online - even passively. The more desperate chicks (fat, ugly) will because they HAVE to, but more attractive women are sitting back and waiting for messages.

Looks are everything online. Plenty of experiments have been done proving that. I remember with my profile, I had average pictures and I wrote a pretty good profile (many of them) and sent out different kinds of messages whether they funny, cocky, serious, etc. I never got anything serious. Yet I create a profile with an average looking guy, but with a sixpack showing and misspelled profile, he had a ton more success. It's pretty much confirmed that looks are literally everything because girls don't read profiles.

Anybody have any success with the POF "User's who want to meet you" feature?
This is explicitly looks only, basically girls who opt for the feature scroll through dudes and click either "yes" or "no" which is blatantly based 100% on the picture.
I've got 20 in 4 days, but the women are mostly meh with some decent ones. I'm only trying POF because I'm moving.

It's not trolling to point that out. I'm a minority and I get significantly less messages and views because of that. For a lot of black guys, they never their profiles because those black guys are filtered out from searches since most girls are just searching for white guys.

I think both men and women are equally guilty of not reading profiles, or at least not reading them thoroughly. You can tell when someone asks you something about yourself that's clearly stated in the profile. Plenty of times I've had chicks say they were attracted by my smile. I don't search for men, so I can't attest to how solid men's profiles are, but I see plenty of weak profiles posted by women that don't have much more than the basics - relationship status, age, where they live. Instead of putting in some effort, they write "if you want to know more, just ask." Then they'll take forever to reply when you write them.
