Master Don Juan
It's not all about looks, but looks are important early on, no matter what anyone says.Why O Why do people keep saying: "Its because he's good looking that why he gets all the girls". Its just not true. I know this from exprience. ME and a friend were both going after this girl right..and the end result is that HE got HER. They continued to go out for like year and one time my friend asked her why did you want me over him? HER EXACT WORDS: "HE WAS CUTE BUT I DIDN"T GET THAT FEELING LIKE I GOT FROM YOU". So the moral of these little story is that you don't have to be BRADD PITT to get the girl you want--YOU JUST GOTTA KNOW HOW TO TALK TO THEM!!!
It could have been anything why she chose him over you .. may she did think he was more handsome/better looking to her .. whatever it was, he was good looking enough to her to win her over.
It takes a combination of things and not just charisma either. If you really want to know what entails a 'gut' level attraction on the subconscience level, read about 'maleness' to 'femaleness'. It's the only thing that really explains attractiion. You can go round and round in circles trying to figure it out - charisma, looks, C&F etc. but nothing explains it better than maleness to femaleness aspect of it.
