You know, I’ve been doing a bunch of thinking about this over the last week since ‘ole RJ told Sean he was getting women solely based on his looks.
You see, if you’ve read anyone’s site… or products… or literature, the “marketing” dogma states that looks don’t matter.
But, when it comes down to it, you’ve got a guru that’s telling people that the only reason someone is getting women is because they look good.
So which is it?
Well, I’m gonna go ahead and drop the hammer on you:
LOOKS MATTER
BUT… they don’t matter as much as one might think.
In fact, I know quite a few men that are absolute model material, but they can’t talk to women to save their lives. Quite frankly, women actually feel SORRY for them and laugh behind their backs.
That’s the truth.
So what’s reality.
Well, when I was doing prep work for the Adonis Effect, I had John send me all of the relevant research behind the program and I went through all of it.
From that, I created a little “research” video on a whim (the quality is not great, but it works), to show everyone what really DOES matter.
Yes… looks matter.
But, the biggest attraction generator by far is SOCIAL STATUS.
Not only can you see it through out your daily life, but the research proves it as well. In fact, here are the top 4 “keys” to attraction:
1. Social Status
2. Social Dominance
3. Physical Attractiveness
4. Physical Dominance
Check out this research video and tell me what you think… it’s all here.
(And by the way, although there is NO conflicting evidence on body type… there is TONS of conflicting evidence on ‘facial beauty’ and attractiveness… you’ll see)
Next week, I’ve have a “Rage” workout for you… a Fibonacci Progressive Superset that’ll likely make you puke

This Adonis Package, it’s just a workout?
Comment by Brad on 30 April 2008:
Close… but more.
In essense, it’s a program that has been specifically developed to get men to the “perfect” AI score. There’s 36 weeks of workouts as well as 36 weeks of nutrition… and where you start directly coincides to where your Adonis Index is… which is important.
Most guys try to get big… but don’t know how big to get… or what body parts are proven to exude the most influence when it comes to physical attraction.
Of course, other guys just take ‘roids and go all out… and miss the point entirely.
Plus, with this, you don’t have to worry about your weight, or any other metric… as the Adonis Index takes care of everything.
Comment by Lee Coles on 30 April 2008:
Looks only matter in the sense that they are more readily apparent than social capital, but social capital is more attractive, once established. If a guy who’s considered decent looking, but charismatic as hell, is let loose in the same room w/ a model or jock who’s clueless about babes, Mr. Decent will come aways w/ more digits, and has a better chance of getting laid that night.

Brad, I started on day 1 of Adonis. I think this is going to work out well. So far I’ve found the package to be very professional and thorough. At the very least, it’s new and interesting and really injected some life back into my gym workouts. I’m going to do a long review to get a fuller sense of the effectiveness of the program, was wondering if after week 4 is about right?
Comment by Brad on 1 May 2008:
Hey Lance…
I’d probably at least go into week 5 when the program shifts up to a different goal…
Hey Lee…
You’re absolutely right. It’s all in the research. Here’s the bottom line, you work on your “look” and “looks” to help to increase your social status.
If an increase in the “look” department can’t translate into an increase in the social status department… it’s not going to work (like guys that wear clothes that are uncomfortable for them to be in).
Fortunately, working on your body pretty much ALWAYS translates into an increase in social status/”capital” from the increase in confidence and elimination of depressive effects.
