Any girl showing interest in me makes them more attractive immediately. That may sound silly but it's true, it works on me.

This right here. One time a girl gave me an envelope with a letter and two tickets asking me out on a date. I probably wouldn't have gone out of my way to ask her out but since she did that I didn't think twice to take her up on the date.

hi! thats a genuine honest response but the moment girls try to show they are interested for most men it becomes non interesting!
But thank you :)

I'm suggesting just one of the ways and I'm sure there are many more in this thread and they likely don't all work for most men, too.

Really learn and understand that healthy long term relationships are primarily based upon shared values, upon personality, not upon physical appearance. And that as long as you’re physically attractive enough to the other person, like you have a healthy sex life, then that’s fine. And then find a guy who understands that.
Even beautiful women worry that a man is settling on shared values or personality. They also worry that a man is going to leave them for a younger woman when she’s older.

Thanks, your comment made me realize I need to focus on shared values and being secure in the relationship.

A fun confident personality adds a point or 2 for me. Brains too.
But really, don't listen to the incels on this sub. Their opinions are warped. I wouldn't take anything you read on this sub too seriously.

Most men go through a phase when they are younger of trying to get with a physically attractive girl.
The minority of us succeed. And the majority of those that do succeed learn that chasing physical beauty is a poor way to find a lifelong partner.
The majority of us fail to get with that girl and turn our attention instead to trying to find someone who is a good match for us.
Whether you manage to get with someone who knew all along that physical beauty is only skin deep, or someone who tried to pursue physical beauty, succeeded and learned that lesson, or failed and is now looking for a good match does not matter. Life is messy and that’s all background noise.
All that matters is that you find someone you are excited about, who matches your energy, who matches your values, who has good character traits, and who understands that love is a verb, not a feeling. Physical beauty comes second to all of those things.

Thank you! Your last paragraph about matching energies and compatibility is so important.

Figure out what his "love language" is and provide that for him as soon as you can. For me it's acts of service. One girl that, to this day, stands out among the other girls I've dated, started cleaning my apartment soon after we hooked up. I didn't ask her to, and I don't think she explicitly knew I would love that, but when she did and I saw: instant butterflies.

Awww that’s cute! Thanks for the tip.

This is simple
Men distinguish fairly consciously between who they like to fuck once, more than once and date.
The more orientated they feel towards a woman outside of her looks - the more % weighting they give to other factors.
Being calm and articulate, Reading, Knowing stuff I do not. Affectionate and Likes to cook for others. Enjoying Humour.
👆Are mine.
Nothing is sexier than a woman owning it, herself and knowing it. And no amount of makeup will cover for an Ugly personality or attitude.
You have;
Humility (able to write this post)
Dedication - to your art form.
Self reflection - the non manipulative way you have expressed
You also probably have relatively low self-esteem. Keep doubling down on the choices and behaviours which gradually build your self esteem without hurting yourself and others....
All of these qualities are very LOUDLY received by a man when he is ready to date.
Hope this helps.

Be at a healthy weight, have good clothes and makeup, and be good at conversation. Everybody settles. If you were a hot millionaire you wouldn't be dating the guys you are now. Its part of finding someone compatible with you. They are compatible in their weaknesses as well as their strengths.

Thanks for your comment. I think the guys I’m encountering tend to be shy around women and this is why I think they’re settling.
[–]tryingmybest20106 points 3 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Ah I mean I think they’re settling because when a guy is shy, I direct him to men groups, encourage him to find something that gives him confidence and then I see his real personality comes out and they start hinting they can do better.

Learn to flirt, to doll yourself up and to seduce… a playful and flirty 6 is waaaaaay hotter than a stunning, but boring 9
[–]lefthandedaf 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This may sound old school, but get in touch with your feminine side. Never shy away from acting feminine. Let the guy lead, even if it takes him a few seconds to make a decision. I once went out with a girl that I thought was okay looking but she was so feminine that it was like she had the personality of a flower. It was so hot and instantly made her hotter.

If you're a woman, you'll find someone who will want you

Thank you! I hope you find someone whom you like to. 💞

The reason why there’s so much propaganda for body positivity targeted at women is because they have a strong tendency to suffer from body dysmorphia.
I would first go to a psychologist and make sure you’re not suffering from a mental health condition. If you’re not overweight and hit the gym regularly then it’s very likely that you are attractive and it’s all in your head.
[–]tryingmybest20104 points 3 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Thank you. I have some facial asymmetry but body wise my job is to work out . You are partially correct that it could be slight body dysmorphia.
[–]TheNomadAdventurer 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Join a CrossFit gym and sculpt your body over a period of one year in conjunction with an overhaul of your nutrition. Not only will you look more attractive, but you will feel more attractive and men will notice it.
Thank you!
Body wise, I’m a professional ballet dancer so health and nutrition are integral to maintaining this.

Sorry, but that's just wishful thinking. I can't speak for every man out there, but the power of a woman lies in her beauty.
You won't have any fear though if you and your potential partner are on the same looks level or you're (way) above him.
[–]vhyles2 -2 points-1 points0 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
You could put in the work in the gym and get a nice gym booty, that will increase your seduction to all men without exception because every man likes a nice female butt.
It can make up even for a average-ish face, depending on how much importance the man in question puts on the legs/butt.
After you've put in the work you could wear some tighter jeans to show off your efforts 💪🏻 , every man will notice that.

While I'm a man, I find seductresses very interesting, as for that half of the seduction world it is very small and not a whole heck of a lot is known. The most important thing for a woman to seduce a man, without conventional beauty standards on her side from birth or such, is to enhance all the things she *can* change. That means, most importantly, getting into excellent physical shape. And, second most importantly, showing that off. Where women look more for status, value, and characteristics, men look more for the physical. It's sad, in a way, but it's the way it is.
That's for building attraction to then engage in seduction, but if you're looking for "the one" this will still help you but what's most important is finding someone who appreciates you for who you already are. But, if you're like the rest of us here, you want to improve yourself to get higher-quality (interpret it as you may) people.
Hope this helped. Cheers.

Thanks for your comment. I will admit I do want higher quality men but maybe my definition is warped because of my culture. I’m my culture, men tend to be very dominant but I find most men shy these days.

Not going to lie and to state the obvious men are visual dogs. It is very easy to distract us with bright shiny things. That said those distractions do not last long especially on closer inspection. Using "Conventional Standards" a woman how is say a 4 to 6 on looks but with a fun sexy adventurous attitude will beat out a 10 with no real energy every time.

Thanks for asking this, I also wanted to know. But for me getting attention is difficult.
Looking for ways to approach the situation
