Pre-WALL women (18-22) are as visual as men.It's funny that they have Tyler from RSD on that video saying that "Looks don't do anything", that it isn't even a nice bonus. I think he's since backed off from that stance, however. It used to be that "Looks don't matter" was a key aspect of PUA theory though. When I first came here you would get your post deleted if you said looks matter.
Regarding the idea that women are not as visual as men: I don't think the point is that women are not visual at all, clearly they are. It only makes sense that they respond to visual clues of testosterone and good health. I think the point is that women are not as visual as men. And I don't see how they could possibly be as visual as men. Because with men, attraction is nearly 100% looks. We don't care at all about a woman's money or status usually, but women do. So as a percentage, there's no way women could be as visual as men.
That's not to say things like personality are not important to men, it's just that it's not really part of the attraction phase. Once attraction is established, then each person applies his or her own filters, depending on what is important to them. But for men, we can usually tell if we are attracted to a girl just by looking at her. From there she may qualify or disqualify herself.
I know several girls that I have always been physically attracted to, but from a personality standpoint, I just don't like them. Funny how that works.
As women approach the wall they become less visual because they can no longer afford it. Don't mistake the lowering of standards to cash in her chips with not being visual lol. Men stay visual for life because we can afford to do that. Women can't lol.
Why do you see FAT obese animals with men? Same thing. Some people trade attraction for having more security. Its not that complex.
