I’ve just come to realize the reason for my lack of success with certain women- is because I keep trying push my “masculinity” up and trying to be their dream “manly man” that will attract them. But In actuality It just showcases lack of confidence in myself and made me inconsistent with how I acted with them. The truth is I grew up close to mom and my sister. My dad was overly aggressive which I found unnecessary at times. The women who found me the most attractive were actually bisexual and found my feminine side attractive and unlike most guys. I’ve overlooked them and thought going forward to attract my goal women, I needed to be less that and more “masculine”. But in doing so it harmed my confidence somewhat - I wasn’t fully embracing and loving myself. Truth is I like emotions and talking about feelings. I also like smashing right after lol. And the traits that we confuse for being “masculine” actually TRULY stems from “confidence”- i.e initiative, eye contact, flirtation, warm energy, even aggression. So I say this all to say, don’t try to be the man you think they want- be the man you really are and you will have better, lasting and consistent results.
