You're going about this all wrong.
I'm an expert in relationships.
I'm gonna lead you through a series of
logical thought experiments that will save you
untold expense and emotional trauma.

There are exceptions to everything, but this is
statistically valid.

In economics 101 we learned about supply and demand.
Horny guys outnumber hot chicks by 100 to 1..maybe
a thousand to one.  If you limit it to available,
emotionally stable hot chicks,
the ratio is a zillion to one.

If you ever thought you could choose a woman, you're
sadly mistaken.  The woman chooses you.  In animal behavior
101 we learned about mating rituals.  The male almost
always has the better colors, the tail feathers, the
sweet song.  He struts his stuff in hope that the female
will choose him.  Humans behave the same way, at least in
cultures that allow free will in the mating process.

In order to have a shot, you have to be more attractive
than the other zillion horny guys you're competing with.

What do women find attractive?  They say they want
fidelity and honesty...but they neglect to
complete the sentence...
"only if it's inside a HOT body that carries a Black Card."
You can temporarily overcome some physical deficiencies
if you have power and money, they seem to come together,
but you'll probably lose her to a hotter guy eventually.
If you don't have the hot bod and ready credit card, you won't
even get the chance to exhibit fidelity and honesty.

Don't forget that it takes a LOT of effort and sacrifice to
be a size 2.  Once you're locked in, it's quite usual for your
2 to start that creep toward 20...unless you were smart enough
to put that in the prenup.

This isn't good or bad...it's a billion years of evolution.
Nothing you can do will change it.

Anybody posting your question is unlikely to be hot or rich
or have depth of character.
You have no shot...PERIOD.  Attempts will likely result in
emotional trauma.

Now we apply the popular 80-20 rule.  A magazine and box
of Kleenex will get you 80% of the benefit of a hot girlfriend
without all the high maintenance, expense and drama.
And since you don't have to
cuddle, you can get right back to writing linux code.

Everybody wins.

I'll leave you with one final pearl of wisdom.
The key to a happy life is low expectations.
