When a woman sees a physically attractive man; if she is walking down the street and sees a man with model looks just in passing but never meeting she becomes aroused much in the way a man does. It is not attraction at this point but arousal. Men are genreally willing to have sex purely on arousal and women (more often than not) will need to be attracted to a guy to feel comfortable with having sex.
However it's not worth a damn worrying or complaining about looks; work with what you got, not what you don't because all you can do is your personal best with what's currently availiable to you.
Overall though this is another gray area the community doesn't emphasize heavily enough because playing the equality card makes it easier for them to make money. If you spark a woman's arousal with your looks she WANTS you to generate attraction which makes things much easier for the good looking guy.
Being brutally honest the "gurus" want you to believe average or ugly guys have as good a chance as good looking guys which they don't. Lucky for us however, looks are not the final foot down like they are with women; an ugly girl has no chance whereas a guy can get a woman as attractive as he wants.
If Mr. A and Mr. B had idential personalies but Mr. A was more attractive the woman would chose him. The reason for this is because when a woman sees a man on the street that is attractive she already places a certain degree of investment, hope and willingness that this guy will have the personality she is looking for and therefore be open to being seduced from the moment she sees him on a street corner.
If you're handsome you don't have alpah status you have a better shot than a guy who is ugly. An ugly guy with no alpha status is like an ugly woman whereas a good looking guy women will really press with because they want to be seduced by him more. Basically If you don't have looks you don't need them but you better have alpha status.
With an average looking guy a woman is not even caring or thinking about this until the guy conveys alpha status at which point the woman will become open to his advances as well.
From a woman's perspective here is what Zip (a woman on this forum) had to say when I presented this question:
Quote:
For me, and for many women, there are different levels of sexual attraction. I'd bet that it's the same for men who will admit to having an emotional capacity.
If I see a really really hot guy... yes, I'll think about pushing him up against a wall and taking him. I wonder what it would be like to get his clothes off, what his penis looks like, what it would feel like... all of that. Women DO think like this. Not just me. Read "normal" women's blogs. It's filled with this carnal sexual fantasy capacity.
If I meet a normal guy with a fantastic personality, I wonder what kind of person he would be like to date. If I get to know him, I think about how that personality would come out in the bedroom. As I become more attracted to his personality, his social standing, his command of the room and of himself, I become more and more sexually attracted to him. This can even happen if I'm not initially sexually attracted to him. I've had some of the most fulfilling relationships with men I never DREAMED I'd be attracted to. Actually, I've had some of the most sexually fulfilling and continually attracted experiences with people I thought I'd ONLY dig on a friendship level (initial sexual attraction IS NOT everything.)
I've found myself sleeping with someone who I was REALLY initially sexually attracted to and thinking about someone that I wasn't initially sexually attracted to... but the latter sexual attraction had become so strong that I can't stop thinking about the other guy.
To further answer your question, and get back to my original point... there are different categories/layers of sexual attraction:
A. Initial Physical
B. Grown Physical
C. Emotional Connection (which, at least for me, makes sex 10x better)
D. Charismatic Connection
I've had just A. I've had D + C + B. I've had C + B. I've had A + D + C + even more B, if you can believe that.
