Its happened all to often... Chatting up a girl, things are great, escalation is happening and then boom. Chad shows up. A little taller, a little better looking, a little funnier and cockier-- and it's as if I cease to exist. Despite being aloof and witty throughout this process, I am instantly placed into the beta box for the rest of the night.

This is no issue, because I have the abundance mentality internalized quite well, and I just move on. But it's a huge shot to my confidence and ego to write off an hour of solid game just because a "better" man shows up. Fuck it pisses me off.

I have yet to be able to weather the storm and keep a girl interested even when a higher SMV guy is around.

What are your insights, and how to I conquer the room-- even against all odds?
