It's happened to me several times in my life, particularly since age 25: I gain weight in my face and for whatever reason I can't see it. Then, when I burn off the layer of fat entombing me, I find women coming out of the woodwork.
Once we get fat, we lose a certain specular shine on our skin due to toxins stored in the fat. Also, we get a double chin and the same expressions that used to look sexy now look silly. I've seen this happen in the most gorgeous women also. After we burn off the fat, at first we will look gaunt with dark circles, but a day or two later (when the toxins are filtered from our blood) suddenly the "glow" returns. In general, this shiny glow is what people refer to as beautiful.
How many of you are right on the edge of amazing success with women, but you haven't been able to "burn off the layer"?
It's hard to believe this, but remember: if women aren't approaching you and declaring their romantic interest, you aren't where you want to be.
