So, we all quite know that the  better you look, the better are your chances you will get successful with women. You will occur more regularly on their pre selection . 

However good looks is something you cannot choose , so the question or what are your views on making up for an average looks and how much can one make up for just average looks ? 

(With regards to social , status , money , career)

for example, suppose one is average looking , but descent in status and social standards , i feel you still get filtered out as you are not  the one the woman wants you to be. There is a big tendency to fall into the orbiter zone or friendzoned  despite other trailts ( status, money, social skills). 

Also in dating sites where every one gets filtered out on looks ( thats the way it is) , there seems to be not much chance to show other attractive traits.  

I wonder how much can other traits can actually make up for lack of looks . Your thoughts on this ?
