Women are not actually attracted to men. There is a vague idea of what a man is physically, and some are better than others aesthetically speaking, but the purely physical appearance of a man is almost inconsequential unless he is horribly ugly or outrageously attractive.
Women are attracted to status, money, how much a man smiles and laughs, how many friends and resources a man has, how full a man’s life is - how many “cool,” “exciting” and prestigious things he is doing or connected to.

I completely disagree, and this does sort of piss me off, but I get what they’re saying. What I totally think is bullshit is the not “attracted” to men’s appearance thing. I am very physically attracted to men, and appreciate a very good looking man, yet I’ve been known to look past looks on more than one occasion. I totally agree that things like how much someone smiles and laughs and how full a man’s life is are attracting qualities and good indicators of whether or not that guy has a sense of humor and whether they are fun, nice people.
The money/status judgment annoys me, but it’s evolutionary. Many women look for men who will be good providers. While that’s not as important in this day and age, it is still valid. I certainly do not want my partner to be a deadbeat.
