Attracting opposite sex: Is it all about looks and intelligence?

[Never_give_up]

I have no looks or intelligence. When I was a runner that did also a little muscle workout 10 years ago, many women used to be attracted to me (i know cause they complimented me or talked to me. They didn't talk to me when I hadn't this body fat). They were also taller, rarely much taller. Some even made specific eye expressions that meant they were approachable they were 20-40 years old. I was just an 20 year old autistic kid so I was too scared to approach. Even now I would be scared. 

Also I had a ''friend'' back then, he was a sociopath although I thought he was a good guy. He was short (166 cm) like me (167 cm). He had and suspect still has so much action with women, even taller than him , you know why, because he was so funny. Being funny means you are intelligent and also make women feel happy.

Honestly I start to think that you have to have some looks and intelligence (great humour) or have great looks and zero humour. And even then humour will get you more than great looks. But you still have to have some looks.

For real attraction you need no serious money, not great kindness, not great social circle, no great influence and power, you just need some of that, which is easy when you have either looks or some/great looks and intelligence (humour). All these things (money etc) are for long term relationship. But real attraction (which is often short term) you need only these 2 things. I lack the one, and I struggle to get the other.

What's your experience? No one can pursuade me looks don't matter, as a short autistic (low IQ) man, looks were the only solution. No one can pursuade me that being extremely funny doesn't work, my short sociopathic ''friend'' that didn't look as good as me (although not bad looking) were extremely attractive to many women his whole life, many more than me although they didn't approach him as much as me. 

What do you think, is this the only thing that matter? Or other things matter too, for real attraction, not for long term relationship?

Stop inventing garbage and just learn proper game theory. Stop trying to reinvent this wheel. Guys have figured out how attraction works. There is no mystery to it. But you must be humble enough to set aside your assumptions and beliefs about it.

@Leo Gurawith so much misinformation on the internet I don't know what's true and what's not.

Is your 3 parts attraction series all I need to know?

It's not all you need to know, but it's a solid skeleton.

Look for quality paid pickup courses. This is not an area to be cheap. You want the best training. Your time is worth more than a few hundred bucks.

Buy a few pickup courses, study, and apply.

You just need to learn how to talk.  Learn how to socialize.  Learn how to play with banter.  And be confident as a man.  Know your value.

Even the dumbest and ugliest people find partners. In fact they are the ones who have the most kids sometimes.

Now if you want someone who is way out of your league, well that's takes work.
