It's all about doing the best you can with what you have inside and out. I think you had some good points but at the same time I saw some excuses not to try. One thing I definitely don't suggest is spending money to be attractive... Having money is fine but spend it wisely and set a boundary about it early. Most women WILL let you pay for EVERYTHING... wouldn't you let someone pay for you? One more thing... haven't you ever been talking to a 5 who turned into a 7 after talking for a while? If people find you interesting/attractive they subconciously eliminate the "ugly" parts of you while focusing on the attractive.

Looks play a role but it is definitely not as important as you state it. What is important is that you dress well, are well groomed, ... Try to find a style that suits you. Once you have that style just try to be confident and apply the tools you learned. It is not up to you to decide whether you are hot or not. Let the women decide that for you. Just be well groomed and practice your skills by approaching as many women as you can. That is the only thing you can do. If you aren't as good looking as one of your boy friends than don't expect women to throw themselves on you. You have to throw yourself on them and show them that you are more confident and much more fun than your good looking friend. If you achieve this than at some point he might become jealous about you and how good you are in picking up ladies.

A good example is Style. There is nothing good looking about him. He managed to date very gourgeous women. And he is not the only one. When you go out you can see so many really ugly men date the most hot women you ever saw. Sometimes it is really shocking. So the lesson is to try to compensate your lack of divine beauty by developping a great personality and approach more women than the good looking men.

Hey,

I have vitiligo around my torso, and I sometimes struggle with inner-game because of it. I also have a receding hairline, but the more I approach girls, the less I care what they think. It's about building confidence - that's it. Look at Seal, all those scars on his face, and he got Heidi Klum. The best example is Sean Stephenson, a three-foot guy in a wheelchair with abundant confidence who pulls women left and right. Don't try to get inside other people's heads - it will ruin you. Instead, feed yourself positive thoughts. There has to be some good aspects to you. Everyone has flaws. Get up close to the most beautiful girls, and you'll see they do, too. My sister was a model, a 10 by most guys' standards, and she was extremely insecure about her looks. She always asked me whether she was prettier than this girl or that girl. Years later I realized she was insecure about herself. Here is why: girls that are told they're beautiful their whole lives are deeply insecure about their personalities (most). You can disarm them by telling them they're cute and then asking what's cool about them, what makes them special. I really only do day game, but it works like a charm. Also, my sister's friends were all pretty hot, and you should see the guys they married/dated. It's only looking back on it that it makes sense now.

Its not about looks. Nothings about looks. ANYBODY can get ANY girl if they have the right attitude. Think of the positive qualities you have. Stop focusing so much on the negative ones. Look at Sean Stephenson. This guys in a fucking wheelchair, around 3 feet tall, and is picking up gorgeous women despite of all his disabilities. You think he didnt think he was attractive? Let alone hes in a wheel chair. Man, its actually a joy to watch somebody like that pick up women. Just think of the problems he has and the problem yuou have. Its nothing man. Were not all attractive and we cant change the way we look. But we can change pretty much everything else. PM me I might have some stuff to help you out on your situation.

CLIFF NOTES: realize I'm unattractive through life experience; then list adjustments I've made because of it.


I’m 28, and I’ve basically had to realize that I’m not that attractive of a person. I stand less than 5’9, but I have a slim build but I work out. I don’t have a classically attractive face, although sometimes it can look ok when I’m smiling. I’m the son of two immigrant parents, and the nationality I am is not at the bottom of status in Canada, but it is more of a lower status on. I’ve got the kind of looks where I can win someone over who’s attractive if:
-I get immediate credibility with a good word or intro from a credible source
-there isn’t much competition around competing for a target
-she takes the time to get to know who I am

Realizing that you’re unattractive can be a difficult thing to deal with. Society blasts so many sexual images at us (Maxim, Girls Gone Wild, Victoria Secret, MTV, Beauty and the Geek) and it makes you want to get up and go out and pound some Lindsay Lohanesque piece of ass. Then reality sets in and you remember that your just one of those guys who doesn’t have the looks or the Alpha-maleness to pull it off.

As the years have gone by, I’ve been more reminded of my place in the game of attraction, but it still hurts my feelings sometimes to be reminded. It sucks going out to the bars, and being too timid to approach women. Then the few you actually do get the nerve to approach – nothing happens. No signs of eye contact or interest from slutty or horny women. I’m just not that guy who visually stands out in an appearance based setting.

Rather than continue to feel sorry for myself, I’ve used my experience and knowledge to adjust for my lack of looks. I’m gonna share what changes I make, but feel free to comment or add to them.

Avoid situations where looks are empasized:
-I will limit my time in nightclub to only birthday or stag celebrations. The more time I spend in clubs, the more I’m reminded that I just wasn’t blessed with the strong genetics that women are searching. Online dating is especially based on your picture and looks. If trying to meet girls, I’d prefer to meet through friends of friends, where they can get to know me through my personality, rather than judge me on my looks.

-Take part in activities where looks aren’t emphasized. I play sports, watch movies, play video games and play poker. These games, you can take more value in your skill and just enjoy the activity, rather than be reminded that you’ll never be Brad Pitt. Endorphins from exercise are a great way to make you feel good.

-Avoid hanging out with pretty boy friends. The pretty boys will just take any focus women have away from you. I also have one friend who has to let me know of every situation where women are completely throwing themselves at him for immediate sexual gratification. He’s a good guy, but brags a bit too much. It just sucks to hear how easy it is for him, while I’m high and dry.

-Take the time that I’d use trying to pick up girl to focus on strengthening other areas of my life that will make me more attractive. I’m talking mainly about your career. Chicks love money. It is definitely a huge attraction point along with looks, height, muscles, personality, and status. Take the time to do better in those classes, or perform better on the job so I can get ahead and make up for my lack of being a pretty boy. Also, instead of focusing on going to clubs all the time, you can focus on hobbies and gain more skill at them. Examples would be golf, poker, bowling, video games, kickboxing, etc.

-Adjusting where money is spent. Rather than spending money on going out to the bar all the time, focus on saving up for a condo. Chicks are also turned on by a guy who has his life together. I’m gonna focus on being more achieving/responsible with my life, than being that crazy party boy. The party boy role works, but you have to have the looks/personality/expendable bank roll to pull it off.
hey man, I got a fraze for you

"mentality creates reality"

if you think that you are unattractive, than you will be unattractive. If you hold an image of yourself being attractive, you will become attractive. I often hear girls say.. you know, there is something about him, Im not really sure what it is, but hes hot.

if you eliminate doubt, you will manipulate reality. I am talking out of my own experience. I use to think Im not that attractive, than I started to focus on how I want to look and be perceived and.. voila!

forget about logic, forget about what is arround you. Create your own universe. Create a feeling of really being attractive. Soon you will be.

Some might agree, some might not. Test it. I did. It works.

Dude ditch that attitude.

Do whatever makes you happy. And also try to hit the gym, and practice going and approaching women.

I used to be really fat and ugly, and now I'm in shape and can get almost any woman I want. Seriously, you have to have the "I don't care" attitude. Women love it and stick to it. Don't act needy. Just be yourself. It also helps if you smell good with good hygiene and some cologne and it definitly helps if you dress nice (but not too nice). Remember, the I don't care attitude. You gotta act as if there are many other women out there and if this chick doesn't do it for you, another one will. Before you know it, she'll be hooked to this attitude.

-Patrick

i didnt read the whole thing, just came by because of the title of your post:
theres no way you are precisely a 5.5-6, because think about it:
- a different hair cut alone makes a difference of more than 1 point atleast (for better or for worse^^)
- girls have different (read: very different) ideas on how a man should look, even if youre a "5.5" to a large amount of girls, theres also many who will think youre an 8 or better, and among those might be your perfect 10

and of course looks dont matter that much anyway, girls that judge heavily from looks are considered sluts so theres actually a social mechanism that prevents girls from discriminating guys for looks. an ugly girl on the other hand is screwed, so whenever you have negative thoughts about your exterior remind yourself that youre lucky enough to be a guy and stop giving a shit.
that perfect 10 who thinks you look hot might realize shes not that into you when she discovers (often only subconsciously) that you have a negative self perception. so once youve put a reasonable amount of effort into your looks concentrate on something else!

Personally I think its ok to think you're not attractive. At least you're being honest with yourself. Better than thinking "Oh, I'm hott shit" when the rest of the world thinks differently. Though yeah, while I do agree that confidence and how you carry yourself can make up for it, you're gonna have to work a fuckload harder.

hey dude, i'm definitely no pick up artist. which is why i'm on this site lol (i actually plan on making a pretty damn interesting topic concerning my situation lol)

but check this out... lol its crazy

i work as a part time male shirtless greeter for abercrombie.... my first day was black friday, we took pics competing with the males in our store and the ones in all of dallas fort worth that work for hollister and A&F, and i was one of the 5 chosen. i was shocked lol.

and i still dont think im hott shit, i still think i can work on some shit.

now that im done with the self ego boost

i can get some pretty good attention from girls from a physical standpoint, but...i've come to the realization that looks are only like MAYBE 25% of it. sure girls will look and make comments, and compliments and even approach based just off of physical appearance sometimes. and the media may project this image aswell. BUT girls are fickle beings, they say they like one thing, they may talk about how hot edward cullen is, but in all actuality they respond to completely different variables.


but enough of that...

if anyone still truly has a problem with their physical appearence. i say one thing... WORK OUT.

im not fucking joking, change your body almost dramatically if it is average, fat or boney. its the only thing you have COMPLETE control over. technically there is no reason for some one to have a better body than you. girls know a good looking guy of course, but its not that hard to become physically appealing to a female, i truly believe every single guy out there (minus deformities) has to potential to get a pretty hot chick to become PHYSICALLY attracted. the answer? work on your body.

to a girl.

nice body- average face for a male = hot guy

nice body ugly face on a male- can and will still get fucked,

(this is all assuming just based on what you'll be physically capable of)

because any below average face to guys is and average face to girls, and a average face to guys is a cute face to girls. (but a fucked up face on a dude is still kinda fucked up to a girl lol) if you already have a good face too then thats a potent combo.

not dressing like shit helps more than you realize as well, but thats a completely difficult and different subject. because some guys think they dress pretty good when in they really dress horribly. but girls don't usually ask for much when it comes to male dress anyway

I know this is an extremely late reply.

But seriously, consider these:
Who has the power in your interactions? - and is this how you want it?
What do you think your inner beliefs are projecting onto these people you approach?

Now... two situations....

You are great looking (say 8 - 10) and you go up to a girl and say something cocky and funny, Your ultimately treading a fine line of looking like a complete arrogant prick, and negs that are far to weak...

This is where you get a lot more freedom...

Now you are less than a dream (say 0 - 6) and you go up, you can use this to make the most outrageous negs etc, perhaps you could even use that in your opener, opinion opener on whether girls like these hollywood wanabe clones or authentic guys... I have no idea man... but you can use it, and i'm sure that some people here will be able to help you with that...

good looking people with confidence are common, and their confidence is often from their looks...
if you are not and you still have confidence, you can provide something totally different, she'll want to find out why you are so confident... I think this is why Style and alot of those MPUA's are so damned dangerous...

interesting, so pickup is only for average looking mafuckas? maybe i should leave then...

dude its not about the looks, fuck man, im with a girl who is like 2-3 more levels higher in attractivness to me,

look this is how i break it down..... 50%-your game/confidence/cocky funnniness/ , then 30% basic hygiene/dressed good/style/, then its only like barely 20% looks or less

thers a guy i know who has nasty acne scars at still hits up chicks and gets girls that are sometimes just out of leauge, my buddies wonder why but i know its cause he has a confiedence and a "i dont give a fuck attitude"

avgjoe - just keep opening sets and have fun, rejection is just one step better to being better with chicks
