Yeah, but you don't come off as a PUA...

I would run far away from any guy who had no interests in his life other than me. How boring, and also smothering.

hey, we're trying to put the fire of insecurity out, not see how big we can make it! lol You just threw a cup of gas on his fire.






I think you're getting some good advice from a couple of people in here. Let me throw in my 2 cents.


So what is it about you that you don't feel comfortable with or think woman won't want you? Is it your looks?


Social life - get busy. Awesome things tend to happen when you're not trying to force them to happen. Not to mention, a dude is far more appealing to a woman when he has a busy social life vs guy who sits at home playing video games and watching TV all the time. If you can't get busy, fake it.


Exercise / get in shape - you'll not only feel better, your mental attitude will improve believe it or not. You'll also improve physically, making you more desireable. You'll carry yourself better. We often send non-verbal clues that we don't realize. Improve your health will improve your confidence.

Stop putting woman on a pedestal. That add's unneeded pressure to the situation. You are worth something. You are unique in your own way. Believe that you have something to offer, because you do.

Practice - the more girls you ask out and the more you get rejected, the easier it gets to approach. YOu'll start developing better skills and get better at asking girls out. You'll get better at spotting available woman. You start noticing nonverbal ques from girls that they may be interested in you. Even the best looking, smartest, most talented men have had some type of rejection from a female. You just have to stop taking that rejection so personally. As men, we are very visual. So sometimes we think when a woman rejects us, it's because we aren't good looking enough. Then you're really hurt when she starts dating a guy you though was uglier than you. Stop that line of thinking if you're doing it.

Guys with no interests of their own tend to smother woman and get dumped. Nobody wants to be smothered. And when the relationship doesn't work out, the guys world crumbles because his world revolved around the girl. I've overheard many conversations complaining and contemplating break ups over their bf's lack of a life outside the relationship.

Yes, he is, and thanks

But here's the thing, HE is well balanced too - meaning he has plenty of his own interests and activities that I in turn support him in

Honestly, not bragging at all.

You too can have this kind of life - you just have to choose it and work for it.

Oh, I got it. The first time a guy approaches, your interests are Not important and should be avoided at all costs. So, you want a guy to talk about himself, and his interests, exclusively?
