Hey guys, I am about to start my sophomore year in college. I think that I have figured out why I was not as successful with women as I would have liked to have been my first year.

As others have stated, getting women in college is very much value based. It seems to me that the main factor for this value is preselection. Guys who exhibit preselection are seen by other women as of higher value and therefore more attractive. This will boost their perceived preselection even more which causes a seemingly endless cycle of increasing attraction. 

I feel that I am currently not seen by other women as preselected, and this is really hurting my chances with women at my school. I feel that I am experiencing a vicious cycle, opposite to the one described above. Since women do not view me as preselected, my perceived value is low and they are not attracted enough to me. This causes other women to see me as not preselected and so on. 

I am not sure if I should go about first trying to become more preselected, or if I should first try to boost my value in other areas. Additionally, I am not even sure how I would go about doing either of these things. I joined a fraternity in hopes of having that boost my value, but apparently our chapter doesn't have the best reputation on campus, so I only feel like my membership boosts my value at our parties. I do not regret the decision in the slightest though.

I feel like my question may be a bit confusing, so if i need to clarify anything please let me know. Otherwise, I am really hoping that someone can help me solve this issue, as i think that it is really holding me back from reaching my true potential with women. I can say that most aspects of my game are pretty good, and I have always felt that there was something vital holding me back. Thanks guys, if anyone can help me with this I really owe you. 

now i'm a patient man, but really guys? no responses in over 3 days? someone has to be able to give some insight on this...
