I am the reverse and probably not as successful which proves looks are not the key to success with Women.
I was always complimented on looks from a young age but Women did not take me seriously until I started demonstrating the ability to gain access to environments where important individuals with financial resources congregated.
My older brothers friends maxed out credit cards back in the late 90s early 00s and guess what when the credit card got declined so did their application for the punani.
A colleague of mine has a college roommate who looks like a runway model combined with an NFL cornerback. It did not matter. High quality punani was not attainable for him until he opened his own business and was able to earn about 200k annually before taxes. Then he was able to lock down a 9/10 looks Woman with a 7/10 attitude (average attitude these days is 3/10).
Prior to that were multiple blow job offers from cretins not even the most desperate low end monger would tolerate.
I've been doing P4P since I was 20.
It's all I've ever had.
It's all I know.
I am lucky that I chose a field that pays well and allows me to afford to do what I do.
I disagree with you on looks because I see how attractive females look and and treat handsome guys.
Their eyes are different and the tones of their voices change. They put their hands on them casually.
They are very obviously letting them know that they are available to them.
Since you are an 8/10 perhaps you're so used to this that you don't realize it.
But for me, on the outside looking in, it is very obvious and very noticeable. Looks cannot be overcome with an upper middle class income and net worth.
It takes an 8 figure net worth to do that, and that is beyond the reach of most guys, including me.
