Male anon here.

Woman care more about the attitude of personality of the man they like/love MORE than how he looks, right? Well if this applies to the nature anyway :/

But is the whole reason about woman caring about the looks of the man due to the fact that if they have a children one day that it won't look… ugly?

What are your views about it?

As terrible as this sounds, you can convince women that you're attractive with enough social pressure.

I'm not good looking by any stretch of the imagination, but I kept drilling into my girlfriend that I was attractive, and that women wanted me sexually. Eventually, she started calling me hot, and complimenting me on my body.

And now that we've broken up, she not only continues to think I'm attractive, but she's looking for men who look like me. She isn't attracted to the kind of guy she was before she met me (no longer finds stockier men attractive, she now only likes white men, etc.)

There really is no static standard of beauty. You'll be fine.

I'll come in and second this. Understanding this concept is the key (in fact, sine qua non) to being successful with chicks.

Call me a misogynist, but in my experience, women are enormously susceptible to social pressure — far more so than men. If you can convince a girl than other (prettier) girls like x, then she will start to think about x, no matter how much she denies it.

This doesn't work with guys. An ugly chick is ugly, and it doesn't matter how many other guys you know disagree (although this is not necessarily true in reverse). But with girls — if they perceive that other girls want something, then it adds immediate and strong value to it.

I'll also second this. Beauty is a social construction. You can manipulate others' conceptions of beauty as long as your more vocal and pervasive than the other contending versions.

There are girls that did not go out with guys because of their looks. Relationships can start because of a great personality. Normally, in this case, looks will grow on the girl. Of course, the opposite can occur as well. Girls can start going out with a guy because of their looks, and have their personality grown on them.
