Westside that is a good suggestion, however, you missed the point of the question. Being confident isn't about being buff or getting a testosterone boost for the short time. See it's good to get that boost, but that isn't helping anyone out in the long run to become strong inside. See here's the problem with the whole community, everyone wants "material, material, material" "how can we fake confidence and make her think I'm high status?" Why not just BE that high status male that we are trying to fake? But here's the thing if everyone would take a little while and not focus on the 'what to do' but instead how to become strong on the inside. I'm sure a lot of guys in the community would agree that at some time in there PUA career that they have reached a point when the women in their life "found out" that they were just faking the whole "I'm confident" bit and leave the PUA. So what I want to do is become extremely strong on the inside and everything will just work itself out. If you think about it everything comes down to what you feel inside. If you feel confident then all the things that we work so hard to accomplish would come naturally. Take body language for example, if you feel confident you will always have great body language and if you don't feel embarrassed when a "total ten" comes into the room then your body language will show it. So I'm really trying to work on becoming unshakable on the inside, and any more suggestions from any members that have a GOOD answer is welcome.

I don't think PUA means to fake confidence. The purpose is to become confident, not to fake it. Actually, I had (and to some extent still have) the same problem as you. My limiting belief has always been that as a son of foreign parents girls wouldn't accept me. I have a reason to be limited by this belief because during my entire life I experienced many occasions of racism towards me. What helped me to increase my confidence is something I read in this forum. There was a guy that made a list of 10 sentences that you should tell yourself in the mirror each morning. The list was like:
1. I am a sexy mf.
2. Girls love me.
3. Girls want to make eye contact with me.
4. I am a relaxed and cool guy.
5. I am so money.
6. I am the leader of men.
7. I love myself.
8. Girls all want to have sex with me.
9. Everyone wants to be with me and talk to me.
10. (don't remember but maybe you can put here:) I am the most confident guy in the world and girls love me for that.
When I first read it I thought "what a stupid advice is this ?". But I just tried it and it really boosted my confidence because at some point you are really going to believe these 10 sentences. The funny thing is that if you really feel confident, you suddenly notice more interest from girls which increases your confidence again.
Also, never listen to anyone, not even your friends. I experienced that whenever I was interested in a really hot woman some of my friends told like "You are crazy. She is too hot for us. She will never go out with you.". Don't listen to that. That is bs. I lost many opportunities with HB because these stupid friends. There are no limits when it comes to dating. Last week I met a HB and my past friends would have said "No, too hot for you.". Well, guess what ? I went talk to her, had a very good conversation with her and we will meet again this week. Always ignore everything that is not suiting your confidence.
Also, try to peacock when you go out. Wear some interesting stuff so you catch attention of women. If you wear a good peacock item girls will for 100 % approach you. This will again give you a confidence boost.
I hoped this will help you to gain some more self confidence.
