I was rated a 3/10 on photoreeler a few years ago. I'm not conventionally handsome or have the looks.
My experience on here seems to reflect the brutal type of sub-5 reality.
I have a different personality and constitution compared to the other guy. It's not a simple matter of looks.
The other guy is clearly a true extrovert and is built to be social in his own right. With me it's something that's more forced and constipated.
That's also probably because of the "looks". If I had more lifetime social opportunities with women, particularly when I was younger, then I don't think it would be that bad today.
Either way, if you take
@Desdinova advice to heart, then I would have to actually not care about that lady since I can not satisfy her, even on a social capacity. Even if she is alone I wouldn't want to sit beside her and would sit at another table. Whether another guy is more comfortable or open with is beside her or not doesn't make a difference in that regard.
Anyway, part of the process is managing things so that the office experience is not as brutal.
Just because I got amogged doesn't mean I can't have interaction with her or might even enjoy the interaction in its own right. She may even be guilted into being nicer to me than usual. There are times I've been amogged and the girl won't notice me at all to have any type of interaction with her at all. So, at least it's better than nothing. I also did sit beside her on two occasions so it does not feel as bad as before. This was easier to bear than the last time. If I had the confidence to approach then it means there must be some connection with her that overrided even the amogged thing.
Therefore, at least I think, even by being cordial with the girl, is probably helpful, depite being amogged (ie at least socially).
