That is not a loser's game. I have more respect for the guy who is getting laid because he is rich, than the guy who was born handsome. The latter was born blessed, the former had to figure a way to become a good candidate for fornication.

That's not his point. His point is that you lose because though you get laid, the woman loves your money, not you.

Now, you could argue that if you're handsome, the woman loves your body, not you.

So I guess you really should have every negative quality possible, save your personality, if you want to truly "win." Except that you'll probably just totally lose.

This is also a blind spot. If you obsess over finding someone who likes you for your personality, you should take the time to consider, "Am I really the great, nice, etc. person that I think I am?"
