Telling yourself you are something, as opposed to being it .... are two different things.
To be something you need evidence, proof ... that you are that thing.
If I say that I'm adventurous, that means I have adventures in my history that I've experienced.
If I say I'm a lover not a fighter, that means I have lovers in my history which show that.
If I say I'm an Alpha male ..... then that means I have gotten to a place in my life where I have little to nothing to prove to anyone. I am at "the top" of my own pyramid, whatever that pyramid is or was. If that involves sexual conquests, or a career goal, or some dream I had which realized ... whatever ... it means I "arrived" to a top place in my life. That will look different for each guy.
The bottom line, is that you have PROVED it with your life, actions, etc. It has nothing to do with accepting anything, or telling yourself over and over something ... or mastering a walk or a look or an attitude. You will naturally give off a persona, when you have walked through those paces and accomplished them, because they change you and become you and you become them.
Women ... and men .... pick up on this. It's called "confidence". The fake stuff can't be hidden. Neither can the real
If you want women to pick up on you being confident, then you had better be confident about something. If you are only confident about your ability to throw a football to your buddy, or play a video game ... then THAT is the confidence you offer. If you are confident you could take down any guy in the room, then that is what you offer .... that brute confidence about your physique.
For me personally ..... I achieved pretty much everything I had ever wanted to achieve in life by the time I was 21 years old. Really. I'm now 35. Every moment since then, I have had this confidence about me that everyone picks up on in person most of the time. I've been married twice, I have great kids .... I'm average looking. Sometimes a bit on the heavy side. I am graying already. But I still date 22 year olds and sometimes younger. Hot ones. Simple as that. I'm no porn star or anything .... and other guys sort of watch me in amazement.
The key, is that once I got my own "proving" out of the way .... I was able to take part in other people's without being intimidated, or threatened .... and I had a lot to offer because I've done A LOT in my life. So it's a win-win for everyone. I offer a lot, but I take a real interest in others because I want to help them accomplish what they want in life as well.
Chicks love it when you actually are interested in their lives, but also have REAL things to offer. That confidence that you can jump off a bridge and everything is going to be okay at the end because they are doing it with me
This is a very easy, and simple concept to get .... but ...... it's something you get once you sort of finish "proving" things to yourself. It's not about accepting yourself as you are or whatever, that's psychobabble ... it's about BECOMING the thing you want to accept about yourself. Making it real. Just like the Michael Jordan analogy used above.
