Being a very good looking male definitely helps you attract women. Let's be honest. If you're a 3, you're not going to be attracting 9's. It doesn't work that way.
Sure, you can be rich and you'll score a young good looking woman, but she won't really be panting over you will she. She just wants your cash. Even the really really rich old men who are with really beautiful younger women know in their heart of hearts that she's only with him because of his status. I recall watching "Family Jewels" which was a strangely interesting show about Gene Simmons and his family. In one episode, Gene had been nailed on hidden camera pegging some sex worker in the most mechanical and horrifying manner and it made the news. So long story short, they hooked him up to a lie detector and Shannon got to ask him questions. (Doesn't matter.) But then they hooked up Shannon Tweed to the lie detector and Danny Bodaducci got to ask her questions, and one question he asked her was, "if when you met Gene he was just a normal guy and not world famous Gene Simmons would you have still dated him?" Her answer, in a split second was, "no". Just cold, matter of fact no. I thought that that was more devastating to old Gene than if she had of admitted that had fucked the varsity water polo team the night before. (Let's face it, Gene Simmons looks like an extra from Planet of the Apes. The original Planet of the Apes, the one with Charleton Heston at that.)
Women like to say that they aren't necessarily attracted to good looking men, or that its not high on their list. Bullshit. That''s just women being coy and afraid to speak the truth. Women have a huge shopping list when it comes to a male partner and looks are definitely on that list. Just like they'll tell you that size doesn't matter. Well, pour 3 glasses of red wine into them and ask that same question again.
