I don’t have so much confidence that it’s spilling over the sides like a muffin top, but it’s better than it used to be. However, when it comes to approaching women, I still end up looking like a first-time murderer who can’t decide if he wants to go in for the kill or not. Exhaustive preparation has aided many halfway studs in their quest to capture the heart of an unsuspecting beauty before a cardboard cutout of Chris Hemsworth steals her for good.
You know how it goes, you spend countless hours preparing for a night out on the town by completing an abundance of frivolous activities in order to increase your confidence and sex appeal. Surely lifting a couple of weights, taking extra showers, and reciting biology pick-up lines to your reflection in the mirror will snowball into an evening of great sex with glow-in-the-dark condoms. When all else fails, chatting up your cat before you leave may eliminate the nerves and up your game because, you know, how else are you going to get the girl if you don’t practice on a house pet who licks itself beforehand? I possess the game of a 5th grader, so I’ve sought my cat’s expertise on numerous occasions. He was like a sensei until he turned his back on me and stole every girl I had a crush on. The bastard. He coughed up hairballs like you’d never seen before while I was left out to dry on the couch binge-watching My Cat From Hell by myself.
Straighten up, soldier, because none of the above is necessary to accomplish your goals. Confidence goes a long way towards winning that person’s undivided attention and certainly doesn’t require therapeutic chit-chat with a cat. Make due and make that girl go wild with what you have!
Have you ever studied for hours on end for an exam, only to get a dismal grade when you think you nailed it? I sure have, and that method has been running rampant in the dating world without a leash for centuries. I’ve learned over the course of many failures that this is exactly how it should be. You can spend many weeks learning how to score women by watching scripted entertainment or consulting a house pet, but the noticeable absence of confidence can put a dent on the hard work you’ve put into improving your game. You may not win the girl like you had dreamed in your fantasies, but at least you had the confidence to walk up to her and make an effort. I’ve learned that failure is an option because it can actually turn into a great success. The success I’m talking about is learning. You’re learning that not everyone is going to accept you, but you’re also learning that some lucky lady will accept you eventually because you had confidence.
Take a chance even if you’re destined for failure. Put down the dumbbells, let your cat do their business in the litter box without interruption, and swim into the singles pool with confidence. There’s a woman out there waiting to be dazzled by your ability to show that you have the gonads to make conversation. Confidence is dying out quicker than the mighty polar bear, so give it life and show the ladies what you’re made of! You stud, you.
