Great post. Like anything, it all comes down to the basics. Just do solid work on the basics and the rest will take care of itself.
A note for guys (or gals) out there with different body shapes: getting in shape doesn't necessarily mean being an underwear model. It means being your best self. Take care of your body (get nutrition and some kind of regular exercise) and you will feel healthy and your constitution will glow from the inside. That is what people will see and respond to. When you are emanating a positive energy because you are actually feeling good, people will be attracted to you.
Also, as far as getting glances from people, this isn't just about the looks you were born with. This is about how you present yourself overall. Minimize the features that don't contribute to your presentation and emphasize those that do. Whether you're rocking a half-shaved head with long highlights or something more traditional, you can always take the hand you've been dealt and improve it. The chiseled Greek-god face may get the most looks but not everyone is into the same thing. You do you, and the people out there who dig someone like you are going to notice you. "Yeah, but 90% of women don't give me a second look." So what? Are you wanting to sleep with 90% of women? Or are you wanting to meet someone who actually likes you for you and wants to hang out with you? Ignore the statistics and dance to your own groove.

Thats right, well said. Reach your potential and you’ll see the difference. Doesn’t matter if your looks are below average. Hell sometimes I see guys that aren’t that good looking but they take good care of themselves. Shows self respect and confidence

If you don't mind could you over a few choosing signals to look for?

Constantly catching her looking at you, smiling, walking around you

Congrats on the weight loss! I've had a similar experience too, lost 40lb. Women and men definitely do treat you a lot differently

Definitely, taking care of yourself shows that you have self respect. No one will respect you if you don’t respect yourself.

It also shows that you're not a fat ass. Our brains are wired to instantly spot attractive ratios in a human shape. It takes all of .001sec to determine if you're looking at a man or a woman as far as body shapes go.

Yeah it’s a shame they don’t always treat you like that

How old are you?
I'm 19, but i still struggle in trying not to be immature. I mean, in some situations, I can have a normal conversation, but sometimes I just try being funny to "approach", tho it doesn't work the way I wish.. still, I actually can't control 100% how I act in front of people, specially when it's about people i find attractive.. do you have any tips?
[–]throwawayzibil 10 points11 points12 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Im 21, and I was the same. Imagine yourself as a grown mature man that people respect. Would he start acting goofy and childish when talking to a girl? No. So when talking to anybody, be serious and act like the grown man thats in your head. Also, you have to understand that everyone is a human just like you. You feel inferior to attractive people because you think theyre better than you. Start improving yourself and force yourself to talk to attractive people. Once you get to know them youll be more comfortable. You have to force yourself, its gonna be hard but its worth it.

Meditation/mindfulness can help with impulse control and emanating that sense of calm maturity and wisdom. Even just eating well, exercising, and doing something fun and relaxing you're passionate about (canoeing, hiking, walking a dog) helps me

It’s okay to be goofy and silly. You’re 19, enjoy your life. Girls your age will like that you’re yourself and you’ll find someone you can be yourself around instead of acting fake serious whenever you’re around girls
[–]capncatbeard 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Also some people like funny/goofy/silly, as long as you're still capable of taking care of yourself
