I kind of disagree with all this a little bit.
It's true that women are attracted to men who have their shit together, but there is more to it than that.
I have known guys who were NOT remarkable in any way, but still got a lot of ass. The ability to attract women is in some respects an un-definable skill.
It's like the ability to be a good salesman, con artist, comic, etc. There is a certain something there that defies description. Didn't you ever know an incompetent jerkoff who rose to the top of the corporate ladder? Is Donald Trump not a total clown? The guy has a polyester toupee but he makes $50m a year. Human society is STRANGE.
It's hard to see even what "looks" women find attractive. Women swoon over Mel Gibson but he looks like an ape to me.
I used to work at a movie house and I saw 100,000 young couples walk by.
It seemed to me that: The guys with the hottest girls usually seemed like they were generating a lot of fun for the girl. Like they were the guy with a cool car, going to a lot of fun parties, know a lot of people,. They make the girl the center of attention.
One time when I was in college I started dating a very attractive girl who lived next to me on my dorm floor. It was a big soap opera because she dumped her boyfriend. I was the REBOUND only. The other girls in the dorm STARTED HITTING ON ME. One of them actually came into my room and just climed into my bed. None of them really gave me the time of day before I started with the good looking girl. Does success generate success? The whole episode was very strange, I hardly knew how to react.
I am very tall. If a girl said to me, "oooh you're tall", I new I could score with her. Nowadays I wonder if the fact that I knew I could score with her made me score with her. like my attitude of self confidence with the girl did the trick, not the fact that I'm tall.
I think that swingset hit on a lot of good points, but women are a strange. Nobody is ever going to figure them out. It's like the study of the atom or the stock market.
However, definitely the stink of "loser" and wimpishness drives women away. Throw out your star trek shit!
PS - I'm not trying to pretend I know what's going on. I am definitely clueless as everyone else.
