1. Get in decent shape: Don't gotta look like Arnold or Christiano Ronaldo, but you must get in shape. So many men neglect this, or do it half-assed. Commit to this to the point where it's your lifestyle. One of the first things women actually notice about you is your physique.

  2. Get into fashion: As countless TV shows, movies, and IRL studs have proved, you don't need to be in a suit to pull women. You can do it in a simple V neck and jeans, as long as they're properly fitted, in neutral colors, and not dirty. Women prefer a man who is not a flashy dresser, so this shouldn't be too hard for ya.

  3. Get into skincare: A guy with glowing skin past the age of 25 is such a rarity it's worthy of being a Pokemon card. Believe me, no woman will call you gay, she'll be impressed. Don't go crazy though - moisturizer, exfoliant, sunscreen and cleanser is all you need for starters.

  4. Practice socializing in your area first: Go to a local bar or caffee, and start talking to folks. Don't discriminate based on age, looks, or anything else - just do it. Once you become comfortable with the idea of engaging total strangers, you're one step closer. Do this several times a week for a month or two.

  5. Throw your ego out the window: "I'm better looking than her, let me approach a hotter chick." No. Until you work out those confidence issues, you ain't too good for anyone. Like I said, don't discriminate during the initial stages of your journey. Besides, talking to someone you don't perceive as hot will make you less nervous and engaging.

  6. Accept failure: You will get rejected... a lot. Don't let that bother you though, women reject men for literally thousands of reasons OTHER than your looks. She might have someone already, she is in a bad place in her life, your approach was off, you remind her of someone, you caught her on a bad day, she is staying away from dating, she is shy etc. Use rejection to grow, not stagnate.

  7. Repetition is the key of life: Understand that cold approaching is a skill at the end of the day. It's someone you'll suck at initially, and then grow into overtime. Naturally, some men are smoother than others, more charismatic and seductive. That's completely fine, but don't let that bring you down. Not every boxer gets to be world champ, but I can guarantee you they'll knock 10/10 arrogant bums off the street out. That should be your mindset - I'll never be perfect at this, I might not even get to be great, but I can become REALLY, really good. Again, humility.

  8. Prepare to take risks: Approaching a girl you don't know and shooting your shot sounds scary, doesn't it? That's because it is, and it should be, because life is a risk in of itself. As a man, nothing will be given to you, and you gotta tame this bull known as life by facing him head on. You'll get nothing valuable out of life if you aren't prepared to step out of your comfort zone, and, as the French say, quit being a bitch. Forget your fears or hesitations, just go for it, because the potential reward is far greater than the likely punishment.
