Of course first impressions are very important. And everyone likes attractiveness. But I think it's too simplistic to say that men and women are exactly alike in their preferences.
Historically, men wanted to reproduce a lot to carry on their lineage. To do this, men wanted to always have sex with attractive (good genes) women to continue the next generation. This is also why men are generally more sexually promiscuous than women. Women, while also looking towards future generations, were looking for men to keep them safe.
Because of this, women focus less on visual attractiveness than men. They really are looking for confident men, who in a different time would be a leader to keep them safe. This doesn't mean that women don't appreciate male sex appeal, of course they do. But studies show that having a man as a valuable social partner is more valuable to women than attractiveness, generally.
That is to say, unattractive men in the dating world can date the most attractive women, if they have good abilities and social skills with women. Obviously, S&B is not the dating world, so looks do matter. But to the men who may think they have no chance in the world of women because there are more attractive men around: don't think like this!
