Can an average woman with a physically fit body compete with a gorgeous woman with an amazing body for the same men?
So if both have an amazing personality, you're gonna pick the more gorgeous woman?
I should have fleshed out my opinion a little better.
Yes. Sometimes men equate gorgeous with high maintenance (although that isn't always true). There are a lot of attractive women out there however, attitude goes a long way. I'll take a cool 6 or 7 who is in good shape over a 10 in good shape with a crappy attitude any day. That being said I have met some pretty girls who were actually pretty cool, down to earth and somewhat low maintenance, while I have met some girls who aren't that pretty who wanted the world on a silver platter and the moon on a gold one. The only way to find out what you're getting is to engage your woman of choice.
Yes. Looks are one factor, amongst many. IMO, looks matter more the less two people know each other as looks are (for the most part) readily apparent and it takes time to learn about a other qualities (personality, work ethic, career, etc.).
Every girl has tons of options. It's the nature of the dating world.
HOWEVER, a beautiful woman gets hit on constantly...so she probably has more options.
