I'm very naturally aloof. I've always been that way. It doesn't make me a puss-magnet; I assure you of that lol.
I'm not a guy "who is too nice" either. I'm polite and respectful, yet distant/detached enough to never kiss anybody's a$s.
I would probably be MORE successful as a textbook AFC nice guy symp chode (insert your favorite term) by being sweet, complimentary, etc. and more outgoing.
It's kind of like fishing with lures in a small to medium sized lake. You've got to have a decent looking lure. You've got to cast it out there. Let it sit there long enough to get the attention of all the fish, and then slowly reel it in. The one's that are hungriest will bite.
To catch a girl it's basically the same process. First she has to notice you. Then she has to be attracted to you. Then you pull back, and get her to follow you.
The tough part is being ballsy enough to make an impression, and confident enough to pull back.
Now, some guys are just good looking enough to be able to walk into a room and attract sufficient attention. Others have to make some moves, start some conversations first.
Others are attractive enough, ballsy enough to get that first bit of attention, but then are too needy to let go.
(Incidentally, this is why really attractive guys can be the biggest AFC's in the world, they can attract the attention, but never ever pull back for fear of losing her, and become dependent)
The problem with online instruction, and courses on seduction is they try to be "one size fits all."
Some guys need help approaching. Some guys need help creating attraction after the approach. Some guys need help being able to "pull away" once they've established attraction. Some guys pull away too quick too fast, and need to periodically "reestablish" that initial attraction.
It's a fun game. The only way to get better is to keep playing and playing and playing.
Naturally, this works just as well within a relationship as it does with cold walkups.
Create attraction, pull back, get her to chase, reward her if she does, establish attraction and pull back again if she doesn't.
Lotta fish out there.
