The first thing a woman notices is how you look. There is no denying that. Women are also more shallow then men when it comes to looks.
A man's personality can either increase or decrease his attractiveness to a woman.
Men who look good are basically pre-approved and don't have to work as hard as men who don't look that good.
This is spot on. Yeah, having a good personality and strong social skills are a bonus, but, initially, you MUST meet or exceed her minimum looks requirements. If you don't, she will blow you out very quickly and you won't have a chance to demonstrate your personality or run some creepy PUA routines. If she isn't attracted to you looks, the most you can hope for is to DELAY the inevitable rejection by entertaining her.
This is the reason for the whole "dancing monkey" thing. You approach a girl that is not attracted to you, but she sticks around because you are entertaining her. Once your entertainment ends, she will take off.
I've experienced both sides of that. I approached a group of girls and had them laughing uncontrollably, like ready to pee their pants. They LOVED the entertainment, but walked away seconds after the conversation died down. They weren't attracted to my looks, and no amount of humor/personality could change that.
On the other hand, when I've approached women that WERE attracted to me, I've had conversations that were dry and boring as f*ck. Despite my personality or "game" not being "on," I've pulled one night stands with those girls. They were already attracted. They didn't care what I said or how interesting or boring I was. (As a side note, if she is attracted to you, she will find the most boring sh*t you say entertaining anyway.) It was just a formality to them i.e. a way to waste a half hour before we could leave together.
Anyway, getting back to the OP's point, yes he is still correct. No matter what your looks, you still need to get out there to try. I don't mean try to game someone who isn't into your looks. It's to try to find and properly game a girl that is into you.
