If you want to attract women, you need to demonstrate both value and intent. I forget who said this first, but yeah, it really does all come down to these two things. By value I mean status/good looks/hobbies&interests/social proof. By intent I mean expressing your attraction for her.

AND the important thing that I've been learning lately is that these two things are not necessarily developed together. I know this because, at this point, I am great at demonstrating value and terrible at demonstrating intent. I look pretty good, have money, have passions, have friends, etc. Sometimes I can tell that girls are impressed. Yet I've dropped the ball on a number of interactions because I self-censor that one flirty line or decide not to try and hold her hand, etc.

This sub has tips for demonstrating both value and intent, but I think it pays to pick the one you're weaker in and focus on that.
