I'm in finance myself, and I've met lots of complete idiots in my field. They can memorize a few things and think they're smart. So you chose this as a career, congratulations. That doesn't mean much.
It says that I know infinitely more about biology and chemistry than you do because I've received formal training, as well having done a significant amount of research on this subject, and this is my passion so I naturally take in as much information as I can...especially when it comes to the topic of evolutionary biology and sexual selection. I don't know jack about finance, so I don't pretend like I do or try to devalue your educational background in finance.
I'm not an idiot, nor am I claiming to be smart. However, I quite clearly know considerably more about biology than you do. I mean, you can't even make it past the BASICS.

APPEARANCE IS LOOKS, because how you appear affects how you look in the eyes of others.
Stop arguing stupid semantics, and stop arguing about this stupid shyt in general!
Yes, I realize that the terms "appearance" and "looks" are very similar. Despite this, in regards to this subject there is a very clear difference. The method that I use to keep them separate is to think if Roseanne Barr switched bodies with Megan Fox, you need to ask yourself..."Is she now a good-looking woman?" The answer for most men is, of course not. She is now an ugly woman with a nice body (a.k.a. butter face.) Now, if Megan Fox got Roseanne's body, she is STILL a good-looking woman but just now has a terrible body. You see the difference? You can't change your God-given looks, i.e. facial symmetry. You can only change your appearance, i.e. body composition, grooming, style, etc.
I might also add that I would never argue this crap if people didn't keep bringing it up day in and day out. If you don't want to hear about it anymore, help me convince the mods to ban this worthless ass topic or replace each thread with an automatic redirect to the 85 page looks megathread in the Archives section.

I have to say, I don't recall any poster(except you) bring up evolution and Charles Darwin on the subject of what attracts women. Very interesting and somewhat disturbing.
Yes, well. Everyone has their own style of debating with those who hold incorrect views. Most guys that I've seen that know that looks don't matter to women usually go the route of providing specific examples, such as pictures and 3rd party encounters. That's all well and good but I choose to go the scientific route since it's non-debateable. Charles Darwin paved the way for the research done by evolutionary biologists that has now shown us how sexual selection in the animal kingdom works. Okay?
