I think Gunwitch explained it the best in his method: (

Looks, Effort, and their Interrelation:
Looks scale: -1- being the worst conceivable, and –10- being the best.
Effort scale (amount of women approached and overall drive to ensure sex with them): -1- being utterly rarely, -5- being a few on weekends or acquaintances from social circles, and -10- being at least three new women per day. –1- drive = will say hello to a woman but not much else, -5- will try to get her interested in him until the first sign of trouble or disinterest, -10- will outright make her become angry or verbally reject you 100% before even considering moving on.
Take a guy who is a –1- in looks (perhaps fat, short, hideous face, balding, old, smelly, poorly dressed, etc.), but a -10- in effort. This guy will STILL land women who are -5.5s- once in while, and –3s- frequently.
Looks DO make a difference, but you can be successful even if you are lacking in that department. If you are average looking, but you have the right attitude and right knowledge of the game, you CAN accomplish a lot and pull great looking girls. If you are ugly, you CAN pull average women. As long as you keep trying, don't give up, and know what you're doing.
MysteryWoman, I disagree with you about women going after ugly guys only because of money or status. I have an italian friend, who is about 5'9, weighs around 300 lbs, is not rich, has a hairy back (I know i'm being redundant by saying he's hairy after saying he was italian), lives at home, and is an out of work drummer. Now this guy has nothing going for him in the looks, finance or status department. He's a social dreg. This guy, has had 3 girlfriends in the last 2 months, and I wouldn't grade one of them bellow 7.5 (and that says a lot, because I have never met a girl who's a 10). To say that these girls dated him because of his money or status is a joke.
I also have 2 other friends, who are very good looking guys, but have been single for the past year. Why? Because they have 0 game, don't have the effort, and are too intimidated by women. They DO get approached by women more then the fat italian friend, but they always end up driving them away because of their AFC ways. I.e. lack of game.
I'm not saying looks don't matter, they do, but there are many other factors to consider. Women can get far in life, just based on their looks. Men can't. We need more then just good looks to get far in life. You can't just depend on one asset to be successful, be it looks, game, money, status, etc. You need ALL of them.
Just because you have looks doesn't mean you should neglect other aspects of your life like your job or your game. And just because you have a secure job and knowledge of the game doesn't mean you shouldn't hit the gym and get in killer shape. Be the best you can be, not for the women, but for yourself.
