First of all I'm writing this on mobile so sorry for formatting/grammatical errors.

Short introduction. I'm a 20 year old college student, and I have been lurking this subreddit for a while. There is a lot of useful information on self improvement and tips for meeting and closing dates with women. However, I have noticed a lot of bullshit since I've been subscribed to this subreddit. I feel the need to post a non bullshit and straight to the point guideline that will 100% help you with women and improve socially in life.

My background When I was younger I had NO friends. I mean no damn friends. I was bullied and socially awkward, and it stuck with me for a long time. This really affected me with women because I had little to no self confidence, and I had some pretty bad self esteem issues. I was a total introvert and spent most of my time locked up in my room playing video games. My past caused me to be a pretty hurtful person and I began to be an asshole to people because I was upset about my past. Because of my actions of being angry I brought all of the social problems on myself from that point on. Then when I turned 17 I decided that I'm done with the bullshit, I'm done being an asshole, and I'm ready to make some friends. From this point on I took off. I met a new group of friends and they helped me so much socially I could never thank them enough. I started dressing well and treating people with respect, and I even got my first girlfriend who I dated for 2 years.

Fast forward time, I'm doing well socially and finally enjoying life. I had a nasty breakup with my girlfriend last year, and it affected me pretty bad. That's when I subscribed to this subreddit. I subscribed because I wanted to better myself and figure out how I can improve. I started reading all the top threads, and I came across a lot of things that were helpful, but then I noticed all the pick up artist crap and I thought to myself "this is bullshit real women don't like this shit, it's not how I met my ex and it won't even give you a genuine relationship if that's what you are looking for". So I came up with a real set of guidelines that have been scattered throughout this subreddit and here they are.

  1. Dress well. Women notice well dressed guys. If you don't care enough about your personal appearance to try and look sharp when you go out your chances of having a good first impression with a girl is going to be less. They like guys who take care of themselves, and it helps a lot. You don't have to be a man dime but at least try to look nice. I used to screw up this part a lot.

  2. Don't be scared to talk to women. Honestly, I see so many people posting threads asking how do I talk to this one girl. Nike dude, Just do it. I've been rejected and it's not the end of the world. In fact I was at a party last weekend and was rejected several times. I just laugh it off because in the end I've been with a 10 and I've been with a 4. Who cares if she rejects you. The most beautiful girl I've ever been with I was scared as shit to talk to her, in fact another guy was hitting on her and getting her snap chat when I decided to grow a pair and say hello. Guess what? That 10(in my eyes) ended up liking me and she really helped me get over my ex. Don't be scared guys because you can miss out on a lot.

  3. Pick up lines are bullshit . Sure they help break the ice which is great. But don't rely on pickup lines to get dates. Anyone who has actually had success with meeting women will notice something. What is that? They are all different, they have different types, like different personalities, and most importantly they have different personalities themselves. Each one is a new can of worms and will be different to talk to.

  4. State your intentions and show genuine interest. We have all been friend zoned. It's because we are scared to flirt from the get go. You have to state your intentions and I cannot stress that enough. When you talk to women you have to show interest in what they have to say. That's all that really matters. Don't be that douchebag that talks about himself 24/7. Patience, your time to talk about yourself will come but you are there to meet HER. Find her interests, passions, and talk about them. Everyone loves to talk about themselves, I know you do too, but your time will come to talk about yourself. Focus on her first.

  5. Socialize. Meet friends, I meet a lot of the girls I've been with through other friends. Whether that's because my friends invited me to a party where I met her or its his girlfriends best friend. Having a good social circle is important. Women like guys with good social value. It's important to be liked by the people you are around, especially your friends.

  6. Be yourself. Just be yourself and nothing else. If you don't make tons of money then don't blow tons of money to impress the girl. If she likes football and you don't. Don't pretend to love football. Just be yourself because if you don't it will explode in your face down the road.

That's my 6 key tips to improving yourself with women and socially. I really just posted this because I enjoy helping people and I wanted to give some real advice. Just follow those steps and you will be a happier person in life and hopefully more successful with women.
