The main focus of my question: is it advisable to adapt your sexual strategy to your specific life circumstances rather than just following the cookie cutter Red Pill methods? I'm not taking about Lift, Read Approach as those are general practices that should be applied to each mans life. I'm talking more 'Should I act like a hardened and mature man when my demeanor doesn't give off that essence in the slightest?' as a young guy in his first year of university I feel like a poser trying to act like I've been through more shit than I really have when in reality I know I've just read too much theory on the internet. This may just be a simple case of imposter syndrome but I'll explain what got me to this point.

I've been given both a skinny, short, ottermode type body and a babyface, so I look like an eternal 14 year old. This has affected my self-perception a lot growing up but recently I've finally been getting over it and just doing external activities rather than worrying about internal looks and perception, having moved out and all. I grew up with an absent father and an extremely emotionally distant mother. Without self-diagnosing and victimizing myself too much I'd say that's a clear reason as to why I developed to be emotionally reserved with intimacy issues. To tackle this I've been focusing extra hard on kino and just touching women in conversation any chance I get. Despite this, a big problem I still face is escalation and "letting go", as in I struggle to relax in the presence of women.

It's these factors that have naturally made me have a unique relationship with women compared to most men. Most of them react to me as 'cute' and often react with maternal qualities in my presence. As if they see me as a child that needs care as they rush to my aide. This often interferes with the whole Stoic Machiavellian Warlord TRP strives to be as these two perceptions clash so heavily: Women (atleast at uni/college level) react pretty negatively to that type of demeanor unless you have the body, frame and experiences to back it up.

To wrap up, my real question is: considering the context of my circumstances and my area of education, should I adapt my strategy to this landscape by going with the flow of how they perceive me and try to make something happen from there?
