man's attraction is static because women's value is static (looks based)

[...]

However, the one you really want isn't defined as the hottest girl, but the awesome girl that you want to be with more than anything.

One the one hand the argument is that a guy isn't attracted to the girl which whom he wants to be with more than anything because of looks (because she's the hottest) and one the other hand the argument is that male attraction is all about looks?

Correct. My point is that the Blueprint has conflicting messages about male attraction. It says one thing explicitly and very different thing implicitly.

I hold that the implicit teachings more closely match reality.
