Greetings. I have a few questions for you guys.
Preface: I'm 22 years old, 5'5" and have somewhat of a "babyface". I'm also introverted. I'm not unattractive (despite the unflattering description) but I'm definitely not manly.
I understand that my SMV is quite low due to my stature and personality traits. However, whenever I try to exhibit dominant behaviour, I feel like a child trying to emulate a man. It doesn't feel natural at all. As a result, I don't pursue women. I'm well aware that my current self isn't attractive to them.
Here's my question: is it possible to surmount this and become truly dominant despite my physical traits, or will I always come off as "trying too hard"? Does anyone have experiences similar to this? I'm guessing it becomes easier as you get older.
