Seriously though, I used to be just like the OP. My first instinct when I see someone attractive is to immediately pull an ostrich and bury my head in the sand. Correcting this instinct and approaching as many attractive women as possible has been a priority for me these past few months. Hopefully it'll become second nature at some point.

ROFL. I am not so attractive but I have friends who are very attractive girls, and who, as I thought, had no problems to go out on a date. Recently I found out they had this kind of problem but had no clue what caused it. Well I had such an assumption that guys simply are afraid to fail but HEY! WTF? If all of you will abandon those women just because they look good, our world will collapse. There are many gorgeous girls who are great characters and are down to earth, so you may actually be missing a lot.
It seems like it's not beneficial to be attractive anymore lol

OP has zero confidence and seemingly believes he should be available for purchase at the dollar store.

Bro, get some confidence and make your other bros proud!

Truth be told, they probably thank you for it. You'd just be guy #40 who tried to put the make on them that day. Problem is the 7+ guys walk away/off assuming they don't have a chance. It's that fugly -5 mofo that thinks he's God's gift to women that keeps trying.

She busts a gut laughing after slapping him and rolling her eyes.

Ah I see, that's your type? Yeah, I can appreciate a girl next door kind of look as well. Obviously dislike that social climber mentality, so many of the Chinese girls I dated back home were just looking to upgrade their socio-economic status. Girls here in SF aren't like that, thank goodness.

My type is redhead or brunette, black boots, tattoos, lots of eyeliner, goth kind of look, and into dorky interests.

Sometimes attractive women are not worth the effort. Other times they don't have their heads in the clouds and behave just like any other women. Walking away from a conversation with an attractive woman is foolish, until you find out what kind of a person she is...

I don't give her that much acknowledgement. I don't know if I turn around and avoid a hot woman any more. I see her and go on with my business if I am really busy or I have a lot going on. However, there have been cases when I have been talking to women, regardless of attraction level, lately.

I usually go by the vibe. There are hot women that have that "don't bother" vibe and then there are the women who are more approachable. I tend to go for the more approachable types.
