Very good points.

2018-09-29 16:36:43 UTC  

Well put, my big issue is that I have trouble striking up conversations with strangers without feeling like a creep

2018-09-29 16:38:20 UTC  
2018-09-29 16:38:50 UTC  

And I live way out in the sticks. No real activity groups to speak of

2018-09-29 16:40:35 UTC  

Sorry to hear that man. It's already hard for me and I'm near plenty of people, I can't imagine how bad it is in a sparsely populated area

2018-09-29 16:44:50 UTC  

Yeah.. I guess I am just focusing on my classes (I commute an hour one way to college) and lifting. Maybe in the spring...

2018-09-29 16:46:38 UTC  

Yeah, same I guess. It's probably better I spent my efforts on self improvement, but its still a little depressing at times

2018-09-29 16:54:45 UTC  

Striking up conversations just takes practice. You only feel like a creep because so many women complain about "creepy men" bothering them

2018-09-29 16:55:23 UTC  

pro tip: be attractive

2018-09-29 16:56:03 UTC  

I'm not unattractive, just uncomfortable

2018-09-29 16:56:12 UTC  

IMO at least

2018-09-29 16:58:21 UTC  

I kind of have a weak chin. It isn't terrible, but the neck fat that won't disappear doesn't help. I am working on getting contacts to replace glasses though.

2018-09-29 16:59:16 UTC  

You're probably fine

2018-09-29 17:00:26 UTC  

I've taken enough selfies to know now that you can make your chin look stronger just by jutting it out a tiny bit, not ridiculously so it's like underbite though

2018-09-29 17:02:04 UTC  

just like, line up your teeth where they should naturally fit

2018-09-29 17:03:10 UTC  

A girl's body language tells you how she feels about you more than anything else you can pick up in a conversation

2018-09-29 17:06:57 UTC  

What should I look for in particular? Are there any tell-tale body signs that have worked for you guys?

2018-09-29 17:07:12 UTC  

honestly, you'll know

2018-09-29 17:08:13 UTC  

Yeah, pretty much you'll just know, but it something you'll have to start paying attention to.

2018-09-29 17:10:46 UTC  

There used to be some videos on the subject but they all got taken down because it's sexist to recognize micro expressions

2018-09-29 17:11:54 UTC  

For good reason too, readable body language is a tool of male dominance

2018-09-29 17:12:20 UTC  

But thanks for the advice so far, I'll definitely be more aware of it going forward

2018-09-29 17:12:40 UTC  

like, if you're not full on autistic (literaly they're unable to recognize body language and emotion), you're fine lol

2018-09-29 17:26:17 UTC  

oh and experiment with your facial hair

2018-09-29 17:26:42 UTC  

I find for me, a great shave really makes my jaw stronger

2018-09-29 17:27:00 UTC  

Yeah, same, whenever I have the time I always stay clean shaven

2018-09-29 17:27:48 UTC  

though I still want a beard... In time 🙄

2018-09-29 17:28:05 UTC  

@Nicholas1166 - NY That's exactly why those videos were taken down lol. People used to get so worked up over the idea that there are observable beta and alpha traits. Even though one of the videos was just comparing footage of gorillas in the wild.

2018-09-29 17:28:39 UTC  

The virgin/Chad meme really changed the game.

2018-09-29 17:30:51 UTC  

It really is a high caliber meme, and a very versatile one at that

2018-09-29 17:37:03 UTC  

oh and I totally neglected to mention the obvious: lower body fat = more chiseled jaw

2018-09-29 17:37:17 UTC  

😉

2018-09-29 17:39:34 UTC  

@TV I don't think that's true. I didn't know about that complaint until I read internet forums, and I kind of always would have felt weird just going up to someone in public and striking up conversation.

2018-09-29 17:41:38 UTC  

What's not true?

2018-09-29 17:43:27 UTC  

That the only reason you feel weird striking up conversations with strangers is because women complain about "creepy men"

2018-09-29 17:44:02 UTC  

Oooh. It's true for a lot of guys though.

2018-09-29 17:47:35 UTC  

And maybe it's not 100% of the reason, but part of it, for some guys.

2018-09-29 17:59:55 UTC  

more generally I'd say it's just lacking confidence
