Hey guys I'm new to this and my buddy has given me TRP to swallow. After getting burned (again), in my mind for the final time I decided to take a different approach to my life. I'm sick of getting the short end of the stick and ending looking stupid.

I was raised by an old school Italian mother from Brooklyn who told me the key to getting the girls has been with respect and courtesy...a lot of good that has gotten me.

I'm confident in my looks, I've done modeling, I've gotten on stage in front of hundreds of people in bodybuilding competitions. I know I have value...

My whole life I've treated people with respect because of my upbringing. I guess that girls would have considered me the guy that is "too nice."

So my question is: How can I break out of this mindset that has been ingrained into me for 26 years. I actually really like who I am as person. I'm funny, I have wit, I'm good looking, what is the limiting factor that needs to be addressed so I'm not on the losing end of relationships with women? I do not want to completely change who I am but I know that something has to give. How do I get "asshole" tendencies without compromising the person that I am which I actually like? I want to stay true to myself and not be an arrogant prick if I don't need to.
