I think men are attracted to looks and women to type.
For example, we all have our types but men will be more likely to stray from our type if the girl is hot. I prefer brunettes, slender, small waist, big butt, smaller breasts, dark complexion, and glasses. That is my type. But, I've dated all kinds of women...I prefer women that look like the above but if you're beautiful you still have just as good of a chance as my type.
Women aren't as flexible with respect to type but they are with respect to quality of looks. If a woman prefers guys that are muscular, dark features, dark hair, nice smile, etc. and you possess those qualities then how good looking you are isn't that big of a deal. Women will rarely stray away from their type, but they will stray away from looks as long as you fit her type set.
I would contend that a guy that's a 10 but out of a girl's type has the same shot with her as a guy that's a 6 but fits her type.

This is fucking true. Whereas I'm sure it was recognized as such by most people on here, I think it went over the heads of a few pinheads on here so I'm gonna quote it and also rephrase it.
The majority of girls have certain "types" that they are more attracted to. One extreme example. When I was in college, this girl on my floor who lived two doors down, Holly, was probably the hottest girl at the University of Miami. Holy crap this girl was hot. EVERY guy on campus tried to get with her. Every cool guy you can imagine. Even the friggin quarterback of our then-national champion team tried to get with her. Hell, I took my then-AFC shot at her and landed in the friend zone. We went to Miami clubs, and every Miami player left and right would try to hit on this girl.
Who did she date, the entire time?
Slightly chunky computer geeky guys in engineering school with rosy cheeks. Yup. She she dated exactly 3 of them about a month to two months each. SHe had 110% control of the relationships. If they did ANYTHING to piss her off, she'd kick him to the curb. It fucking baffled nearly every guy. But that was her type. Now she's married to a computer engineer, slightly chunky, with rosy cheeks.
Good observation man.
I'll just add that a woman's type can for sure change over time, and usually it comes from daddy or some shit like that. Also, i think the younger the girl, the less weight is put on type and the more is with general looks because she's still discovering herself.
