"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Right... Over a year ago or so i started going out with friends. I was a social recluse before then. Now I noticed i got loads of stares and shy looks from cute girls and some loud girls even flirting with me.. Now I don't seem to get much, I mean I'm taller, dress well and I'm still good looking.
But Last night im sitting there at a party. My hairs pretty good look messy/medium, got a bit of stylish stubble what makes me look bit older, and this other guy, wouldnt really call ugly or good looking, this sexy girls like hes well sexy.
Now is it because I need to get leaner(bit of fat still on cheeks) a sexy hairstyle? or what?
At the moment what keeps my confidence up is knowing that Im good looking, and blessed with these genes, but when that gets knocked like this its really hard.

Man im soo loostt :S:S
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

All I have to say is I don't think confidence should be based on your looks; it should be based on truly understanding your character.

Basing your confidence on your looks will make you insecure because other peoples' opinions may matter more than your own, and that is why girls are often insecure.

Read the post in my signature...If you really don't feel like improving, i'll summarize it for you

As sage said..confidence shouldn't come solely/at all from looks

Your ego is what's killing you...It makes you feel insecure/not confident. It tells you that you need to look better, get bigger, get richer, etc.

The ego also leads to judgment and having opinions. I know it may be hard to comprehend since we're taught from a young age to have opinions on certain subjects. But the problem this creates is duality. We begin to see things as independent beings. You see yourself as separate from others; you must realize that we are all connected and one. Everything is and has always been everything. There is genuine equality among all things, living or non living.

Why should you feel inferior/not confident? Why should you feel confident based on external appearances which anyone can now manipulate with a machete or plastic surgery operation? If anything, confidence should come from an internal source. A source that is founded on deep understanding of the world and morality.
