I was single until my late 30s. I saw tons of women who would go for the type of guy you described. Having (I think) a realistic view of myself, I usully had to work extra hard to get and maintain the attention of women. I was constantly amazed how the shallow jerks--but usually good looking and/or well-to-do--could treat women like shit but could always keep them.

It's always good for someone to have a good friend of the opposite sex who can warn them when they are plying with fire.
