I put this in a comment on a day-old post, but I think it deserves more exposure:

LOOKS DON'T MATTER.

QUIT. MAKING. EXCUSES. PEOPLE!

Just get out and talk to people!

Think of it this way... Imagine a pool party at a swanky LA mansion. Models, rockstars, industry types walking around.

Who is gonna get more positive attention? The 400 lb guy with his shirt off splashing around in the pool, doing jack-knifes, chicken fights, with a humongous smile on his face? Or the 180 lb gym-rat in the corner with crappy posture, uncomfortable scowl on his face, making love to his tonic & gin, while being afraid to approach people?

If I am there I am gonna think. DAMN, who the hell is that guy in the pool? He looks fucking AWESOME! Why is he so happy? I must find out!

Reflect on that for a minute. (btw I got this from Tyler Durden - all credit goes to him)
