for 'sowing your seeds' around - looks all the way.Having seen shit good men who go through by worthless women, my only suggestion is, find a good girl and marry her.
Looks are really over-rated.
If you are the kind to believe in dating and shit, good luck. Girls by default date more men than guys would. You would end up with someone who will never be pleased and will be looking for the next wiener.
Guys with ambitions and good prospects, just stay the F away from women. Find that one good one and marry her.
for 'settling down' - mind over matter.
