Hell, you're pretty much describing me spot on. The pretty boy who fails at later stages. I actually think that your own self image/look can shape the way you interact. For instance, "beauty" can shape you into conformant or timid behaviour that doesn't sacrifice the "beauty". If you're ugly, there is no appreciation from other people to loose so you don't give a **** -- there's a freedom in ugliness. Notice how loud many ugly women are, for instance. Hard to break loose from this, certainly in my case. Tomassi also writes about this in, Perfect is Boring.You have to go out and do it. Fail and learn. Every guy is born with varying degrees of natural ability. That's a fact. You would have noticed back in school that there were boys who were popular with girls from day 1. They were seemingly born knowing what to do, complete with the c0ckyfunny personality and everything.
Me, I was born was looks but a lot of shyness and passiveness. Girls liked how I looked, but soon got turned off because I didn't know how to communicate in attractive ways. My mindset was in reverse. I thought I just had to show up and a girl would be immediately able to make a positive judgement because I knew that I looked good. I had that self awareness. But then all the uglier guys were getting the girls in school that I wanted. I didn't understand.
But I then began to notice that the guys who were getting the girls tended to have dominant personalities, were bullies, but were also popular and loved because they were funny, rude and a bit dangerous. They were also storytellers.
I was pretty introverted so I just sat back and observed everything. I gradually began to develop a framework of things that did and didn't work. Over time I took successful encounters that I had with women and just replicated what worked and continually fine tuned it over time.
I am not going to pretend for a second that I was born knowing what to do. I was not a naturally good communicator with women. It's something I developed over time. I think working in the sales industry at a young age, particularly cold calling and selling insurance products, helped me get over a lot of the approach anxiety and social awkwardness that was holding me back.
At clubs I get girls basically stolen from me by the arrogant "bad boys". I realise this attitude of them is attractive to girls, but I cannot at all resonate with it. A man who has experienced the horrors of life or actually tried to do something difficult, isn't ****y and arrogant. Or? It baffles me that girls doesn't comprehend that. This is one reason to why the rock star is attractive -- he does something comparatively simple and therefore got the surplus to have attitude.
It's funny, I think one can sometimes see the different attitudes in people here on SS. For instance, I don't think @SW15 is arrogant in real life, but I'd say @2Rocky is (assuming internet/IRL-personas match).
How does one become an arrogant baller?
