Hmmmmm, sorry about all the mathematical weirdness and sorry WhiteRussianDude for making you the scapegoat of this topic. But I dunno, I noticed a trend. PUA always preaches about what our "self talk" could be doing to us. Maybe this self talk is something we should really think about.

Yeah the mind really can determine a lot of things.

have you ever noticed that after talking to a girl she can go from a 6 to a 10 or vice versa (maybe not so drastic but you see my point)

What you think of a person dictates how you see them, this includes yourself. I used to think I looked badly and be depressed, when i would look at myself i would think ugly. I recently realized that I'm a pretty good looking guy, and i'll treat myself as such. I think that if you think of yourself as attractive then you will be.
