General question for alot of the guys in here. When you were single(or if you still are), how many women a week did you try to talk to? And please be honest(dont give me nonsense about "oh I talked to 15 a day"). Im starting to think maybe I need to try to talk to more women at a higher volume(only if I have a good opportunity. Im not much for talking to women at a gas station or grocery store).
Perhaps you give off vibes like it is a numbers game.

I can definitely sense when a guy isn't being himself, and thinks he has to 'act' a certain way to charm the ladies and it comes off across as a guy not being so sure of himself- either he overcompensates by puffing his chest out and walking around like a macho man or he's using lines that are cliche "what sports are you into?" Sometimes, it's even the fact that he's got an agenda that makes our whole interaction seem so calculating I get turned off.

Depends on the woman in question also. Maybe you like certain types of girls, but those types of girls want a guy who's going to be authentic even if he's rough around the edges. And, some ladies do like guys who walk around like they're reading off of a script.

Could be. It's mainly about being friendly and neighborly when you're out and about; talking to women as they cross your path. There's a guy who posts here fairly regularly who said he would talk to several women/day. Just being friendly, and if something comes of it, great, and if nothing comes of it, well he had a nice chat with an attractive woman--also great.

I'm pretty social whenever in public and talk to anyone (women, men, teens, kids) Its just lately, my only social outlet has been talking to business clients, either in meetings or phone (mainly phone). But i would say about several woman a week when I'm out and about and not busy with other things.

Just read this thread, I suspected that this was where the OP was headed from page 1

I think everybody has insecurities, and most people probably try to hide or minimize their insecurities by acting like they either don't have them or are not troubled excessively by them. Women are insecure; men are insecure. But we love to reward people for acting like they are secure even when they are riddled with insecurity. I guess if the performance is believable enough then that's all that matters.

you probably need to work on your game if everyone tells you have the physical part down.

i went on a tinder date this weekend.. guy was totally good looking, nice body, but he expressed doubt, the way he asked to kiss me was weird, and after our weird kiss he commented on how he doesnt think he's a good kisser. Don't doubt yourself in front of a girl..its a vag killer.

maybe you're choosing the wrong women. If you're an a+ guy like others have said of you, then women should be crawling to be with you. Maybe you're choosing the unavailable.

YOu have to have the attitude your a high value dude and a girl would be lucky to be with you. That attitude attracts people. This I'm unsure about myself is a huge turnoff to women. I think you just gotta fake it til you become it. If you don't feel that way now act like you do and eventually you'll believe your own hype.
Indeed...do your own thing and the right women will come...

When I was 16 I spent my summer vacations in Playa del Rey (Calif) at my mum's friend condo .
Those were the 70's , free-wheeling times as they come, and a pretty womanfriend of the people here, in her late twenties, told me "OMG, do you know you are extremely good looking?" I was maybe wrong , but it led me to believe she had a sexual interest in me.The mere thought of it (I was still a virgin) made me red faced.
... and so I answered in the stupidest way "I"m French ma'am, I don't understand what you are saying". But of course being red faced meant I had perfectly understood and that I was lying , so she answered , a bit scornful, but with a big smile : "I believe you understood me perfectly well".
I was so ashamed of my own lack of social skills , I lowered my eyes and literally fled the scene!

The thing is that every man that I know that is successfully married ALSO feels this way. They just don't express it as much due to the social stigma that comes with denouncing feminist beliefs. However, they privately advise me to NEVER seriously date anyone that sleeps around.

Interestingly, my successfully married female friends say the same thing.

Are you successfully married? My guess is no.

Again, it all depends on what you're looking for. If you want a girl for a fun time, keep doing things the way you're doing them. If you want something serious with a woman that has values, avoid the ones that will sleep with you too easily.

Just what I've observed and experienced.

I've noticed the opposite. I notice that men don't care how much a woman sleeps/slept around when it comes to marriage.

Women, your body is your body. All if these 'rules' for marriage are not that crucial to a lot if men.
