I do have attractive younger women interested in me purely on a physical level and I am well-read and charming, however, I'm unsure if some women may get impatient or even nervous at the sight of me graduating late. I am an attractive male.
How do you know they are attracted to you? Are random girls giving you the "come fvck me" eyes on campus? Those are the ones you should be going for.
I'm very insecure about the past, a lot of people have degree's by 23ish and embark their career at 24. Here's me graduating late and feel I'm not equal to those smartly dressed women who are in their careers or starting their careers.
Ahah - the root cause of the problem is that you feel insecure because you are imagining that people are perceiving you a certain way. Can you see how much inference, subjectiveness, and poor logic goes into that thought process?
Honestly, 24 is still very young in modern western culture. I'm too lazy to look up the stats, but if I recall correctly, the majority of students these days don't finish their undergraduates in the given 4 years, so you're far from alone in this.
If it makes you feel better, those "smartly dressed" career women are probably mired in credit card and student loan debt because they live beyond the salaries of their HR/PR jerkoff jobs, even if their jobs pay well. I've yet to meet a girl in her 20s who's actually smart with her money; most just piss it away on unnecessary car leases, overpriced clothes, and going out.
Women in their early-mid 20s are seeking status, alpha-maleness (due to wanting to commit to long-term relationships).
:crackup: LOL, chicks in their early/mid 20s generally have
NO IDEA what qualities they are looking for in a man, and for the vast majority of cute modern girls, they're looking to have "fun" and "explore their sexuality" with whatever guys make them tingle down there,
NOT to have serious committed relationships. Maybe 20 years ago, but not today (outside of the small number of more traditionally-oriented women)
I AM attractive enough physcially and mentally, however, I feel insecure about my past, although the future could be very bright, however, time will be taken.
What advice can you give me? I am an attractive male (ambitious, good qualities, desire to better my life, aspiration's, smart, passionate, purpose in life, keep myself in shape) however, I'm graduating late.
Just keep working on yourself man. Irrational self-confidence is a thousand times sexier to girls than rational (or in this case, irrational) self-doubt. You'll actually get better at pulling girls in your late 20s and 30s (hell maybe into your 40s if your so damn handsome) because you will have gained experience and status.
For
right now, I suggest shifting your mindset to a setting where you:
1.) Don't take girls seriously and don't worry about a relationship (even if you want one, the neediness will drive girls away)
2.) Adopt an attitude where you are confident in your accomplishments as a man. As you see your businesses grow, this should develop naturally, but for now fake the confidence if you have to.
