There's a sentiment on here that becoming MORE everything will remove your barriers to female interest level. Unfortunately, all of us have ONE or MORE areas that are holding us back that requires LESS.

There's little discussion here on identifying when to become LESS of something: Less obnoxious, less desperate, less feminine looking, less boring, infinitum.

But there is a way to avoid going down blind alleys. It's called the RUTHLESSLY HONEST FRIEND.

See, other people can easily SEE our shortcomings but we cannot see them ourselves. Pick a person you respect, and ask them for an honest inventory of your personality and to list your flaws in order. You'll be surprised at what you hear.

If more than one person tells you something (that hairstyle doesnt work, you have bad breath, youre being obnoxious,) then chances are good you've got a problem.

You cant FIX it until you know what it is.

Use the ruthlessly honest friend.

I disagree with this mentality. People will subconciously show hatred towards another person because a person has a big nose , fat, or their color of their skin. Can that person really fix it? Nah.

Look, when people don't like something about you. YOU WILL KNOW IT. It is up to you and your self respect if you think it's worth fixing.

hey, michael jackson did it. :D

okok, back to the topic. Yea, I actually did this...but I got many POSITIVE answers. People told me what they liked about me AND gave examples of people who have traits that are exact opposites. They just said that I have to be more social, because I have that potential....and it's worked.:cool:

You have to want the truth, to be capable of valueing it.
