When it comes to dating, having an optimized personality can really give average or even below average looking men an advantage when it comes to looking for a partner. There are certain personality traits that someone can possess which increases their chances of finding love such as high levels of extraversion, outgoingness, and risk-taking. In addition, having high social intelligence is a useful trait as well when it comes to making friends and finding a girlfriend.

All of these traits are beneficial to dating because they all impact your ability to communicate with others. And since you need to talk to someone in order to date, having the ability to communicate effectively with someone is important. Men who are more extraverted and outgoing will have an easier time because in most societies, men are expected to do the courting and initiating which will benefit these kind of men.

High social intelligence with an optimized personality can even help a 5/10 looking man find a girlfriend or find love easier, even someone who is more attractive than he is. On the other hand, a 5/10 looking man who is quiet, introverted, shy, and socially stunted will likely struggle.
