How much do women get turned on by a man's looks?

[Hardkill]

Hey guys, so I've contemplating a lot on this for a while now. Now, I don't mean to toot my own horn, but for most of life many people have told me that I look like model or a movie star. Hell, some girls in middle school, high school, and college liked flirting with me. Now, ever since my mid twenties I've put on almost 20 lbs. of pure muscle and I am on my way to looking like a fitness model or a Hollywood male celeb playing the role of a superhero. However, I've approached countless women in my life within all kinds of venues and have even learned so much knowledge on how to seduce women. However, I've only been able to have sexual encounters with 6 women in my life and have only been able to make out with about 20 women (including a lot of them being girls who were drunk to varying degrees).

I've learned that women aren't nearly as visual as men are and that looks are subjective especially to women. However, I am now starting to think maybe women in general are not turned on sexually to any significant degree by any male visual aesthetics. Sometimes I wonder if there was even any point in me working so hard to look fit and masculine. Do women even masturbate to guys who look hot to them? Do women only like a guy who looks good or sexy merely because they appreciate the fact that he looks socially presentable, cool, and appears to be their type physically?

Women get attracted to good looks. 

But... 

They are also looking for a complete package and not just looks. 

Which means your social position and compatibility. 

Not to mention intelligence. 

I personally get attracted to intelligence in a guy. Looks are secondary to me.

You can guess someone's personality type from photo. In case of males you can also predict their intelligence just by looks.

It will get you laid a lot if you know what you re doing. In online dating is 90 percent and even in person it can make quite a difference. However it is not a mandatory for her to find you good looking, average looking in her eyes is more than enough to fuck her IF you know what you re doing. I have failed with girls that found me attractive so they are not the end all be all. Game matters much more than looks as long as she does not find you legit unattractive.

Intelligence is fucking useless for girls honestly. DO NOT listen to them saying they like smart guy and shit. Countless people including me and Leo are regarded as "smart" by most people and still struggles with girls. I would say being less intelligent helps since it makes you less stuck in your head, less logical and more spontaneous and chilled. 

I am talking about getting laid here not for marriage.

@Hardkill Of course women masturbate to hot guys, it's just they tend to value personality traits and narrative more than men do. This is why erotic novels are more likely to be purchased by women, and pornography is more likely to be viewed by males. There is neuroscientific data that demonstrates men (as a population) tend to respond more to visual sexual stimuli. 

The issue when it comes to dating in person, is that looks get you the first 20 seconds. After that it's all about what kind of personality you are conveying. If you've been learning seduction techniques and you still have issues with women, then that tells me there is some blindspot that you aren't able to see yourself. I would highly recommend you get in-person coaching once the covid situation allows for it. They will be able to see what you're doing wrong and help you start making improvement. 

@Karmadhi Women do like intelligence, they just like it along with multiple other factors. If you're smart and socially inept, they aren't going to respond well to you no matter how many Rubik's cubes you solve for them lmao.

Intelligence is not nerdiness. 

It also means social skill and EQ. 

You're confusing intelligence with crossword puzzles. 

Listen to the guy above my response. He gave a nice explanation. Elevated.

@Hardkill i do not masterbate to men based on looks. It's the entire package that's a turn on. Most women need a connection before they are turned on sexually. Looks are important but not everything. Everyone is different tho. Confidence is sexy.. humor is sexy.. intelligence is crazy sexy

We get turned on by looks just as much as men do but we still take other factors into consideration. You can be hot as hell and that might give you more leeway and more of a margin of error if you are awkward, but creepy is still creepy even if you are hot. Social skills and emotional intelligence  is crucial since for us attraction is also emotional/ psychological. So yeah we get turned on by looks a lot but that's not the only thing we get turned on by nor is it the only thing that is important.

Exactly! The way you carry yourself and present yourself is super important. I would put the way you carry yourself as an intersection between looks and personality tbh.

A man's looks are an important factor. But there is a range of consideration.

Now, I'm an average looking woman... maybe a 5 or 6. 

So, if a guy is between a 4 and a 6 looks-wise, I can become attracted to him. It doesn't necessarily mean that I will be attracted to him. That has to do with a multitude of other factors. But looks-wise, that's my range of ability to develop an attraction to someone.

If he is under a 4, then I am unlikely do develop an attraction to him because his looks would be underneath my range.

If he is over a 6, then I am unlikely to develop and attraction to him because he probably won't be excited by me or desire me, and that's a huge turn-off. I like to be the peacock of the relationship.

But when an attraction does set in for me, I really appreciate the way a guy looks because of the way I feel about him. A good-looking guy on his own doesn't do much for me. But if an attraction sets in, I just love the way the guy looks.

This is always the way it has worked for me.

If I were a male, I'd chose you over any 10 supermodel looking girl anytime, because you are 1000x better life partner material.

It would be hard to match you.

Also, good luck on him being the "peacock" in those circumstances.

Aww, thank you. I appreciate that. 

It's not even a conscious decision though. I've always been more likely to get the Cupid's-Arrow response towards an average looking guy than I am towards a super model looking guy, though an attraction is fairly uncommon for me either way. 

Perhaps it's a self-esteem thing. But I think it's more like I'm looking for someone who is congruent to me... but with an ever-so-slight imbalance where I can be the peacock.

I have to disagree with you on that. A lot of times, there can be more than what meet the eye, especially once you get to know them. A lot of nerds, especially those who are very autistic, can look not very bright, but in actuality are highly intelligent if not geniuses.

Well, I'd like to still believe what you guys are saying. Though I am still skeptical.

Yeah, it's social intelligence combine with confidence and a masculine vibe that are the main factors in attracting women.

Don't sell yourself so short @Emerald. You are MUCH higher up there than a 5 or 6, are you kidding?!

So, would you ladies not get turned on by male strippers?

I mean I haven't been to a strip club so I don't know. I imagine that I'd think they were attractive but would I want to do anything physical or go on a date with them, probably not. I'm also more into subtlety and lightheartedness when it comes to I guess flirting or the way a guy approaches me. A guy stripping and giving me a lap dance aint it even if I think he is hot.

Me personally, deffo not.  But I’ve known of women who like that type of thing lol.  
I’ve always been attracted to more unusual types rather than the typical attractive guy that everyone fancies.  I never got crushes on famous people as a teen either, when all my friends did ha. It takes a certain type of person to get my attention,  looks matter of course, but I wouldn’t want to date a guy just because he was really good looking. 

[Preety_India]

I am attracted to more traditionally dominant and masculine guys so male strippers are a complete no for me. 

 

 

[Elevated]

Honestly as a man, strippers don't really do it for me. Like a woman who is a stripper is obviously attractive, but the idea of going to a strip club doesn't really appeal to me. I don't really have a lot of hang-ups about any form of sexuality so I don't think it's something like that. I just have no desire to pay for sexual gratification and definitely have a visceral response to it. 

Now interestingly, watching it as a performance of sexuality seems much more appealing to me. Like a dancer conveying erotic energy. Different environment, different intention, and potentially a very similar style of dance, but I'd be much more interested in watching the latter.
