Is this surprising though?

No. What is surprising is that not one of the women said they wanted the guy to look hot. Although one said "James Bond appeal" and other said "sexy - however you define it," so I guess they said so indirectly.

Actually, my theory of what makes a woman attracted to a man are based on three different factors:
1) Appearance (face and physique)
2) Charisma (charm and other social skills)
3) Money/status
Yes, an excess in one can make up for a lack in another. If you are a wealthy as Bill Gates or charasmatic as Dennis Kusinich, you can have a hot spouse even if you look like Bill Gates or Deniss Kusinich. Hot looking guys hook up even if they don't have much personality, or if they're full of themselves for being good looking. And then you also hear about the very charming (and sometimes good looking) but chronically unemployed men who live off their girlfriends.

Exellent point. I'm married now, but until I met my wife at age 33, I was never in a relationship longer than two months and often went months without dating and more thasn a year or more with no sex. I could never figure out why that was since I saw myself as fitting the description of what most women claimed to want in a men. I not sure of that, since I was naturally baised in evaluating myself, but I did know for sure that I didn't have many of the faults that women most often complain about (lying, cheating, drinking too much, extreme jealiousy, controlling, financially unstable, etc.)
BTW, I'm sure you're aware that your point also applies to women who compalin that most men are only interested in young women who are skinny with big boobs.
