Man, that is a nice theory, and I was arrogant enough to believe it, but no more.
I go out to the nightlife strip in my metropolis and when I wear an 8-yr-old undershirt and random black pants, my sets stare at me like i'm homeless or from outer space.
When I dress nice i get looks from sets and passerbys like the looks i get when I walk with a bombshell on my arm when I'm out on a date. I'm arrogant enough to act exactly the same way, and callous enough to not let rejection affect my next approaches. Still, the difference is night and day.
Also, many PUAs field tested and shared their results of online sarging with same good profiles and approaches but different pics. Online dating is notoriously looks-based and you need to look 8.5 or better to get good effective results. Here are two of my good pics being rated; I've had pics i thought were super score very very bad (and which, when I sent them, stopped all responses with a batch of girls i numbered)
