I really need some perspective on this. This has been getting to me for years, but only now am I really addressing it. I consider myself an attractive man with a good build. I work out with weights and look pretty athletic. Here is an example where this gets kind of crazy. Before getting ready to go to a club or anywhere there will be hot looking women, I will see myself looking real sharp and attractive. But as soon as I enter the venue and see a lot of these women, my anxiety kicks in and so does the intimidation. At that point, I feel like I go from a 9-10 down to a 6. I literally see myself as an unattractive man. I even perceive myself as being skinny, even though I weigh 240 pounds of muscle. All my friends say that I am an attractive, well-built man. It seems that in the venue where there are women, I am the only one who doesn't see it. This has really affected my game and I know that it has to be a psychological disorder, but does anyone have any insight on this and what I could do to get over this?

Sounds like you need help on your inner game. Try neuro linguistic programming (NLP) if you haven't already.

I would suggest NLP: The New Technology of Achievement. Great book and will help you not think so down on yourself.
