Yap, media - it's really powerful. It doesn't affect only weak people. It affects everyone more or less. Advertisers use not less powerful methods to make us believe something than a PUA, who try to pick up a girl.

I know for a fact a good couple of guys who have so weak personalities that they would not date fatties even if they liked them because they think it's degrading to them, and other guys will think they are losers.
I feel sorry for the guys at first, because it shows how insecure they are themselves.
P.S. I started a conversation with a guy first!!!

I was running and there was this funny dog walking with his owner. I looked to guys eyes at first. He looked back. I started to laugh as it happens to me quite often now, but I hope to pass this phase someday. So, he passed by me (I did some exercises). Then I just remembered my own dogs and missed them. At the same, I wanted to touch that funny dog. So I called him - and he just ran straight to me looking happy

I asked a guy if he wouldn't bite me. He said the dog was friendly. And it was so cool! I talked to a guy first and I touched his dog!

I wouldn't have dared it some time ago. But now it feels so good
