I recently wrote an article about the whole “looks don’t matter” line that pickup artists keep telling themselves.
Of course, looks are a factor when it comes to attraction, even if it’s not as important of a factor as most people think. However, you may have noticed that women are always obsessing over rich, handsome celebrities on the magazine covers.
And they’re everything that you’re not.
They have model good looks.
They have tons of money.
They have instantly recognized high status wherever they go.
This has led you to believe that looks and money are very important when it comes to attracting women since women everywhere fantasize about these famous men all the time! Well, let me tell you something… you’ve been fooled.
All is not as it seems. There’s something else going on behind the scenes in a woman’s brain, and what you see on the outside looks completely different from what’s really going on inside.
Some pickup artists dogmatically deny the whole looks and money thing and say that it’s all about status. They then try to demonstrate high status and try to replicate the same results that celebrities get with women. They’re on the right track, but that’s not exactly the right response to what’s really going on.
Other pickup artists, on the other hand, figured out the “secret” of preselection. Most PUAs don’t realize exactly how much preselection affects a woman’s perception of a man and they just use it as one little thing to DHV in a series of other traits to show off, but some actually try to take full advantage of it. Josh Pellicer makes preselection the main theme in his “goldfish” sales video. Adam Lyons based an entire method around preselection with his whole “entourage game” thing. Richard La Ruina uses a simple and discreet club technique to make all the women he passes by look at him as if he’s a movie star. In fact, science has shown preselection to be a real, statistically significant thing that measurably affects a woman’s perception of a man.
If you don’t already know what preselection is, it just means that women already want you, women are already sleeping with you, women are already dating you, etc. Women are most attracted to men when other women already want them.
The real reason women obsess over rich, handsome celebrities is because women obsess over rich, handsome celebrities.
Those rich handsome celebrities you see on the magazine covers are very consciously marketed by the media to make people perceive them as “desired by women.” A woman will see these celebrities and perceive that every woman wants them, so that automatically and subconsciously makes her want them. Most of the time, it works really well.
Sometime, though, not even this will make Kid Rock anything other than Kid Rock. God, he sucks.
Even though that above image will never make Kid Rock good at anything in life, seeing that image will actually change something in a woman’s subconscious brain to make her feel more attracted to him. Even though she already has a preconceived notion that Kid Rock sucks and therefore must be very unpopular with women, seeing an image like that magazine cover will force her to reconsider her perception of him. If it can work for Kid Rock, it must be a powerful concept.
Powerful enough to fool the whole world into thinking that it’s all about looks and money.

Preselection and social proof are very powerful forces indeed. The instinctual desire for high status men predates modern marketing techniques in magazine publishing, so the latter are able to short-circuit the attraction process to their advantage.
These high-status celebrities and actors get lots of chicks not just because of their status, but also because of their personality traits of confidence, dominance, risk-taking, etc. These are qualities that women can pick up on easily, but most other men don’t recognize. They only see the external.
Women want rich handsome men because they are physically attractive, confident and can offer them a relaxed lifestyle if they decide to settle down .
A man is not wanted because plenty of women want him. Plenty of women want him because he is good . Competition is not attractive. On the contrary, competition with other women is a turn off because it is an indication that he will never want to settle down or he will never be faithful. Most women are insecure anyway. Why would someone want to add doubt to an insecure person?
Why women don’t want AFCs? Well most don’t take care of themselves, they are fat or smelly and their social skills suck! For someone to be successful with women needs to learn how to be popular and how to make and keep friends. Also needs to learn to be selective and sleep with fewer women to be more desirable. There is no difference in the vibe of a woman that has slept with 300+ guys and a man that has slept with 300+ women.
Who wants a cheater or a manwhore?
