As you believe so you are.
Umm "Pook" is this you ??? Jokes aside funny how 20 years ago we had Pook say the exact same line "As you think so shall you become" and here we are August 2023 and another person who probably has never heard of pook pulls out the same exact thought process !!!
I am improving myself constantly and I am above average in almost all areas, but attraction at first is built on looks. And my hair loss in my late 20s reduced greatly my SMV and dating pool, despite the other improvements. So my experience is that conversation alone does not do much for a woman that is not attracted, and career and other accomplishments would only get you so far.
This is where you're making a cardinal error! You're projecting your thought process onto what women find attractive!
Yes "Looks" goes a long way BUT women are far more forgiving in the looks department if the man she is interacting with brings other attributes to the table. Hence why we still see guys that look average at best pulling gorgeous women all over the place!
Yes your initial interaction with most women might be hindered by your hair loss ............. news flash the vast majority of men have some level of hair loss by the time they hit 30 !!! This comes down to a belief system that is limiting your ability, and I can almost guarantee that you are sensitive about the topic AKA this is one of your insecurities that is holding you back and you have to actively engage that part of your brain and kill that feeling off. And I bet this hair loss issue comes across in your attitude (Vibe) and anyone that is clued up on social interactions would be able to pick up on the feeling of "Don't talk about Hair loss this guys sensitive about the topic .... what a drama queen !!!" This "Vibe" is probably what is killing your chances with most women.
Ask yourself Are you comfortable having your picture taken or do you avoid those at all costs ?, Your body language most likely changes when this topic comes up, and women read body language and gauge confidence by your actions and tone of voice over silly topics like this !
I've never seen any man that is well built from years of gym work, that owns his own property and has an established career and one that is "Game" aware struggle with women from any age bracket. I've met up with plenty of Sosuave members here in NZ and Australia and the States (Cali and Florida mainly) and the ones that "Got it" would be approaching and opening sets everywhere we went, theme parks night clubs middle of the day or 4am in the morning or 11pm waiting in line at some posh dance club !!! Didn't matter it was all about exposure and a numbers game and a IDGAF attitude, and probably the best set of wingmen you could ask for.
I can almost be 100% certain that no man has a pull rate of greater than 1 in 5 approaches .... unless they are an A list celebrity and even those I've seen crumble under the pressure of having to conversate with a hot woman !!!
EDIT : Your pull rate might be 1/5 aka 20% and your lay rate might also be 1/5 from every number you pull ... that's 1 lay for every 25 approaches and even that is a high success rate if your Game isn't tight !!! Once you've built your own lifestyle the success rate increases for me 1 can almost get a lay from every 2 or 3 approaches but this took over 15 years of building a lifestyle and mindset of what I wanted. Starting at 1/25 or even 1/50 isn't a bad spot to start from it just means you're going to have to actively approach and engage !!!
