Uh, my whole point is there isn't almost anything he can't fix with his money. He can get surgery for his height, his face, his hair, get the best personal trainers, with the best nutrition and workout plans, all up to a point he becomes physically attractive - all while keeping his influence, wealth, power, and intelligence. Maybe he'll never be as physically attractive as the homeless guy you're imagining, but he will still be legitimately attractive. The homeless guy would most likely never get anywhere near his wealth or social influence, and IQ (or intelligence, if you prefer) can't be significantly increased. And no matter how you spin it, no CEO woman, or maybe a pioneering science researcher, would rather constitute a family with a homeless guy over one of the most powerful, successful, and richest men in the world. In the way I see it, it's simple logic, and you guys are stuck in your own reality. I can't make it any clearer than this. I can only assume you all would rather have easy access to as many "hot women" as you possibly could, or something to that effect.
Anyway, each to their own, and I wasn't the one to start with the ad hominem. I'll just agree to disagree with your views.
And I do generally agree with your points about IQ!
But this isn't what the thread is about.
There's numerous problems with your assertions here
1.) Surgery cannot and will not ever successfully emulate natural good looks. Hair is probably the most fixable of the bunch at present and in the future (given upcoming solutions for hair loss), but again, there are VERY defined limits to what can and cannot be done with surgery.
A man who is decidedly facially unattractive (like Mark Zuckerberg) cannot and will not become conventionally attractive (i.e. male model looks) using plastic surgery. The technology simply isn't that advanced.
He can't and won't become tall either, not without visibly deforming himself.
In fact, I would argue that rich people who are also famous media icons like Mark Zuckerberg in fact cannot ANY surgeries to fix their looks AT ALL. Consider:
Everyone KNOWS what Mark Zuckerberg looks like right now, without having had any surgical procedures done to alter his face, height, hair, etc. If he were to get LL or facial surgery, everyone would notice IMMEDIATELY because there are hundreds of pictures of him taken from every conceivable angle all over the internet. His status makes it literally impossible to physically augment himself without facing severe social judgment and repercussions due to virtue signalling culture leading to him being criticized, shamed, mocked, etc to oblivion for his "insecurity".
Imagine if Justin Bieber had LL done to go from being 5'7" to being 5'10". Do you seriously think people wouldn't notice? Society at large is MASSIVELY turned off when men (applies to MEN primarily, women are largely given a free pass no matter how they alter their looks thanks to feminist "empowerment" culture) do ANYTHING to fraud or otherwise misrepresent their genetic value. Virtue-signallers pretend they've "lost respect" for the individual due to their "insecurity", but what they actually feel is disgust and innate revulsion: "the nerve of that undesirable man, trying to cheat his genetic destiny!"
As far as a female CEO or researcher or what-have-you not wanting to "constitute" a family with a homeless guy: you don't have any evidence this is true other than your own hopes, but it doesn't matter anyway, because even if it were true, the fact of the matter is this type of woman is generally not conventionally physically attractive (women in the STEM field, and corporate-ladder types, tend to be very frumpy. I don't think this really needs to be substantiated; just take a look at any year's graduating class in the STEM fields and look at the women).
Good-looking men generally don't care very much about whether or not undesirable women like them because they have tons of DESIRABLE women to choose from. I doubt male models, homeless or not, lose any sleep because frumpy Betty the Chemist has sour grapes syndrome and doesn't want him because he's "not intelligent enough" (whatever that means).
