Tldr: try to appear more masculine instead of what you personally think looks good or what other people have told you if you want the most beautiful women

The most beautiful and feminine women seem to end up with men who are "ugly" by some standards. It's the truth. At least often enough that it can't be ignored anymore. It's not just a fluke or freak accident, he's not just rich, he doesn't have the most amazing personality... guys who are above average in looks see this and get so frustrated because it doesn't make any sense. Oh she must be crazy or something then. What we view as good looking is a man with somewhat feminine features, made popular by Hollywood and modelling agencies run by feminine people.

I'm pretty good looking in a traditional sense, like Don Draper or Elvis. Have been told I look like a movie star more than a few times. A lot of straight guys have told me this which was kind of strange at first, but they were just being friendly in the way guys know how to be, compliment the other person. You might be thinking "oh great, another piece on trp written by a guy who has it easy", but that's not true.

Women who are very good looking are not quick to give a handsome man compliments on his looks. She lives the life of an attractive person and knows how annoying this can be. She just assumes you already know you're attractive and that doesn't add anything to say it. Instead she wants to see who you really are and if you are "alpha", "tough", masculine, driven, passionate. You're being vetted for the long term relationship or long term FWB.

She will test your confidence more to see if it is authentic or just because ugly women throw themselves at you. A lot of "good looking" guys do not want to deal with this testing because they don't understand it and will think she is just a bitch. This can lead to settling for less beautiful women who are eager to please you much sooner. That can mean just for one night stands or for the LTR. You might think "Yeah there are more beautiful women out there, but this girl is so nice and caring and those hotter women are too entitled." But this is just the myth that ugly society has pushed on people so they don't end up alone.

Hot women are actually approached less in person than ugly ones. When they are approached it is often by men who are afraid to be sexual and direct, and instead are seeking her approval. Will she talk to me for a couple minutes? Can I make her laugh? Can I show her that I'm a nice guy? And this is all subconscious by the way. You might have every intention of seducing her, but this programming kicks in as soon as the interaction begins. And then you look for a way out of this friendly needy interaction, awkwardly ask for her number and she says she has a boyfriend. Good looks are not going to come close to making up for that in any way shape or form.

So here's the truth about looks in men: the most beautiful women will end up with men who are not what we see as good looking, but guys who appear intimidating to other men. She wants someone who will keep those^ guys away from her, for her survival. This is her instinct. She is supposed to be the pretty one, the cute one, the one who is told how good they look all the time by friends and family and strangers. You are supposed to be the man who can protect her from the enemies at the gates.

Yesterday I shaved my hair off to 1/4 inch. I don't look like a movie star anymore. I look like a cage fighter, like a soldier. Lean and mean. This isn't the first time but I'm embracing it instead of growing it out again. Might even cut it shorter still. And I'm only approaching the hottest women, going direct, right from the start. I'm the guy who goes for what he wants in life and has confidence outside of some trendy haircut.

A grown man should never be called "cute" like a little puppy dog or child. You are better off being scary. Embrace your masculine features and attract your opposite. The jacked beast of a man gets the slender beauty.

For illustration purposes, here is Justin Timberlake, who transformed from "pussy in boy band" to actually respectable as a grown man. You can see he was really feminine while being marketed to the 8-18 year old girl demographic, and the huge contrast when he played roles with tattoos, short hair and beard. And there's a lot in between as well to see how different one person can look, even staying at mostly the same weight.
