As a dude that used to have hella confidence issues (still do, but progress was made). You gotta have the mindset that you ARE the best option. If she doesn’t agree she knows where the door is. Be yourself, be genuine, do what you feel is right in your gut, but don’t ever worry abt the competition. Once you worry abt them you lost the war.

I’m 25 my guy. And of course! I just made a post today abt confidence issues approaching girls outside of the bars/clubs/dating apps. Everyone struggles with it. Some people just hide it better

Thanks bro but the issue is it’s NYC so girls have countless options. So I feel like it doesn’t really hold as much weight as it would in a smaller city
[–]_noobAtLife_ 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
The truth is, it doesn't HAVE TO. If you rely on your salary to have women (or people, in general) gravitate towards you, it's belittling you. Your salary doesn't define you, your hardwork to get that salary does. Your personality is what defines you, not any materialistic stuff that comes and goes in your life.
[–]Spotdown23 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Ya I don’t flaunt it or anything I work in finance. But. I guess it can just show financial stability which could be a point of attraction that I have my life together
[–]_noobAtLife_1 point 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Honestly, no. One could be making 5 figures, but mentally well poised, emotionally available, has their life together because they work on themselves. When you work on yourself, a lot of materialistic stuff that you want shall follow you.

You’d be surprised my guy. More people doesn’t equal more options. You still have your narcissists, people that aren’t gunna date, people that are married, etc. i am from Houston, similar size to NYC. Don’t let the numbers get to ya

I guess it comes down to 1. Does she want something more than just casual sex at 25 and 2. Is she still interested enough for that to happen
[–]ihoop2811 point 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Yessir! Know what you want and keep that standard. If she doesn’t meet it that’s all good! Just not the right fit. Just bc a square peg can’t fit in around hole doesn’t mean it’s bad. Just not the right spot
[–]Spotdown231 point 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Ya I agree. It’s just kinda tough cause I really like her and then I’d have to start the process all over again and wonder if new girls will give me the same excitement
[–]ihoop2812 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Totally get that. But you know why you don’t gotta worry abt that? She’s goin out on a date w the top option in NYC. If she misses out on that someone else is gunna bust their ass to make themselves YOUR top option. Stay strong brother you got thi. She’s gunnalove it✊
Thanks bro fingers crossed it goes well and she doesn’t flake
[–]ouranophile1 point 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Completely agree with the wardrobe thing. It’s amazing how much a simple wardrobe upgrade can increase your confidence!
Another good thing for nerves/confidence is to find a song that gets you pumped up. On the way to a date, I always listen to “Sharp Dressed Man” by ZZ Top. I don’t think it’s possible to put on a nice outfit, listen to that song, and not feel like an absolute BOSS lol.

It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. Believe she has better options and you’ll act insecure and push her toward those options. You make 6 figures, are tall/handsome, and she’s already fucking you, if that’s not enough to make you believe you’re enough for her, then that’s on you.

I mean if you want a very explicit example, my at the time girlfriend woke me up on my birthday by whispering in my ear that we were going to break my record for the number of times I got off in a single day. That’s when I realized that in my deep sleep she had handcuffed and tied me to the bed, and she spent the next three hours removing every drop of moisture in my body. That was my first experience being the 100% getting fucked but definitely not the one doing the fucking. That night we switched it up.
God she was fun in bed.

Not at all. All of it was well within the confines of boundaries we had previously discussed as acceptable and consenting. We had a well established safe word by that point. Frankly it was one of the best days of my life, I still haven’t broken the record set that day.

It's not a competition. There will always be someone better than u. U should just be urself, if she likes u nd finds u interesting she would chose u over everyone. Focus on treating her right.
[–]Spotdown23 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link
I treat her well but I keep reading that women like men that treat them like trash lol
[–]Jay_k447 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Be a gentleman if u want a serious relationship. Treating her like trash means not giving attention, not listening to what she says, girls like leadership but they also like to be heard. Be mysterious, unpredictible but don't be an asshole.
[–]Spotdown23 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I do I be mysterious on the fifth date?
[–]Jay_k447 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Make her want to know more. Let her think that there's something more to u which u aren't showing to anyone.
How do I do that
[–]Jay_k447 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Use sarcasm. Let her tell the stories. Whatever u say have to have weight (it shouldn't be rubbish). If she asks about something serious about u reply with sarcasm or create a fake funny story. Make her laugh.

It's cliche at this point, but you should just be yourself if you are wanting a serious relationship with this girl.
Why play games with women? If she doesn't like you, than move on. If she does, you know it's genuine.
I am myself but I’m wondering if there’s any tips in general
[–]Economy_Training_797 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
My tip would be to spend time with her without thinking about the other guys. Don't think of it as a competition.

[–]IratusHonestus 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
There's was a point where I had become such an introvert that I had hardly any real friends IRL. One day I just kinda of woke up and decided to change it. I started with taking myself out to the movies, bars, parks - starting working out, fishing, reading books and whatever by myself.
Eventually I hit a point where I was actually having fun with myself and enjoying myself whenever I'm doing anything. Because of these hobbies I now have people that I have an opportunity to interact with and I have the confidence to talk to them, I also have things to talk about thanks to the books and such.
The biggest change was where I realized that almost everyone is lonely and bored like I am. But practice was a pretty big part of it too. I started with small talk at the gym, compliments and such and eventually starting asking some of the girls to help me pose and get advice from the old heads there.
I guess if you wanted to condense it down to an idea, it's that almost everyone is bored and wants to be entertained or talk to someone else. The hardest part is literally the first 5 words. After that it just gets easier the more you do it.

i think we are passing through similar paths.
However most activities i like includes other people. And you cant really do them without gathering a social circle. it is a loophole.
Another thing is that i know lots of people who are not doing any activities but they are able to produce happyness and they are liked by crowds. They are just being like unconditionally.

You can't. Shelf life on romantic love is ~18-36 months. Anything longer than that will depend heavily on her attachment style (Love Avoidant vs. Love Addicted) & her self esteem levels.
Love passionately & deeply, but never bank on a guarantee. You can't control or trap other people, but you can enjoy what you have and make the most of it.
Sounds like smug advice, I know, but here's the deal- you're both high on dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, epinephrine, norepinephrine & phenylethylalamine. All those chemicals make up the "love cocktail". All those chemicals eventually fade and then your love is really called into question. People change and feelings change and newer/better options present themselves. Which is why my advice is love deeply & well and never punish someone for not loving you back. Enjoy what you have while you have it. It's the best any of us can do.
[–]Artist-in-Residence- 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You sound like a very intelligent, worldly woman, but I can't help but think from your answer that you might be a bit cynical in love...as if you've only seen the worse side of relationships and have forgotten what it's like to be in love.
Shelf life on romantic love is ~18-36 months
I don't think this is true....
but here's the deal- you're both high on dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, epinephrine, norepinephrine & phenylethylalamine. All those chemicals make up the "love cocktail". All those chemicals eventually fade and then your love is really called into question.
I would like to clarify some things for further discussion:
All those chemicals eventually fade and then your love is really called into question.
I think this is true if you're merely sexually attracted to each other. However, I think love is more complex and requires other bonds, including, emotional, psychological, intellectual aside from the sexual.
People change and feelings change and newer/better options present themselves.
I can't help but wonder if you consider relationships more akin to a job interview? Obviously in business matters, better options present themselves, but even most successful business executives will say that trust is the foundation of all relationships. Without trust, a better option can't simply appear because trust takes time to build and solidify.
Which is why my advice is love deeply & well and never punish someone for not loving you back. Enjoy what you have while you have it. It's the best any of us can do.
I wonder if you have a lost love that you still wonder about? If you don't mind my saying, it sounds like your heart had been broken for too long and you've been going through the motions of entertaining "bigger and better" until you gave up....
Apologies if I'm overstepping my boundaries here, but you seem like a person who has much to offer, but gave up on love to pursue your career instead...

Did you ever trade stocks or options in the financial market, you should have noticed that markets move based on squeezes, aka; the people who are under fire and have to buy or sell to close an under water position, those are the true movers of all markets.
Girls work exactly the same way, they don’t stick with you, unless they feel it’s not-safe for them to ditch you.
No matter how good you’re in life, if she has better options, she will leave, her brain will play the game of “I don’t feel I still love you anymore”.
What you should do in this situation, is let her go, if you’re really good at the game of life, you will end up with a better girl in no time, there’s massive shortage on good successful men, and girls are wired to fish for high value.
The end of the day, no one is entitled to no one, it was just my turn, your turn or her turn. you get the idea. Not even if you get married, divorce courts are running 2 years backlog.

No my friend, you’re top 10% so you do stand out, you have age advantage, business and money advantage, you’re tall, so little bit of a gym time and you will have the good looking advantage.
Date as much as you can, increase your feeling of abundance, bc that’s how confidence is earned.
Exactly like your business, you didn’t start at $200K, you technically grown up to this level.
Grow your confidence by giving yourself more life experience. Life is abundant, girls are abundant, you are the only scarce thing in the game.
[–]Spotdown23 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Thanks! What defines the top 10% of men on apps/dating pool?
[–]NightMasterDom 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
On dating apps, it’s all about “the look”. Number one selector criteria on dating apps is “look” Muscle mass, wide chest and shoulders, masculine traits, distinguished jaw lines, big arms.
All girls fall for this, without understanding why. The “why” is very simple. Girls subconsciously look for 2 different types of men. 1- type 1: the alpha tiger; super masculine, someone who is strong, and his DNA worth to be selected for future babies.
2- type 2: the resources provider, someone with access to money, has a game, can make bank and can offer prosperity, and good life.
Even if the girl is not planning to get pregnant or have babies, she’s wired from evolutionary point, to seek type 1 for sex, and seek type 2 for relationship.
On dating apps, type 2 men, doesn’t exist, and girls are taking notice of that, so eventually only those profiles of body builders men, making it to swipe right by most of the girls.
If you’re solely type 2 man, then your options are highly better in the sugar dating space, but again there’s a catch, you’ll be perceived by the girl as beta, she will impose her rules, you will get limited access to sex, while providing her with all the resources you can offer. She will make sure you feel grateful for her when she lets you have sex with her, bc, in her mind you’re not the tiger. It’s a power struggle game.
A cure to this situation, is to act exactly like a lone wolf, and walk away when the conditions are not in your control anymore. Be careful of the dead-locks, where a girl can lock a man by force to have exclusive access to his resources while she’s living her life completely out of control. But those are debates for another discussion.
For now; for your age; my best advice to you; is; train yourself to enjoy loneliness, use boredom to create new things in life, grow your business, learn how to make loneliness a good thing, create a tribe around yourself, from buddies and friends, listen to more stories and podcasts, read more, enrich your knowledge, and if sex is something taking more than 10 minutes of your brain power a day, go to a strip club and get that under control. Be careful of dopamine addiction that comes with too much party. Be a wolf, you can live by yourself, and other people are dependent on you, but you depend on no one but yourself. Girls would kill to be with this kind of a man, again; from evolutionary point, girls are wired to fish for strong men to feel the protection.
That’s why MMA players have the highest body count ever, join some MMA sessions.

Emotional investment. Once a girl falls in love with you, Ryan Gosling can hit on her and she couldnt care less. If you guys cannot fall in love, i dont know why you are dating.

[–]blubbercup 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
First, every girl is different, so communication is key. If you’re not communicating try to make a point of it to her that you want to for the best sex life possible between you two.
Generally tho I like to make sure there’s eye contact while I’m doing it. You gotta find that special spot (hope you know where that is) and be gentle with it. I tend to flick it and suck it a bit. When she starts to give good physical or audio feedback to you, get one finger in there and do a “come here” motion with it.
But again, she should be telling you what she wants and she should be comfortable with you enough to do so.
I want to ask her what she wants while I’m doing it but not sure how to
[–]blubbercup 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
It’s not a “while your doing it type of conversation” rather, it’s more like you should establish beforehand you want to do what she likes and reaffirm her she shouldnt be afraid to help guide you in the future.
If that makes sense.
So like while we’re kissing? Cause I’m not just gonna ask her at a bar “hey so how fast do you want me to go when giving you oral”
[–]blubbercup 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
No that’s not what I mean.
You don’t ask her what she likes outside of the bedroom, rather let her know she shouldn’t be afraid to be vocal while in the bedroom. It’s a benefit to both of you. You want to make sure you’re doing a good job satisfying her, and she wants to be satisfied.
You can also take the lead. I’ve always been quite vocal while in bed and I find that girls will follow your lead. I let the girl know what feels good, what looks hot, what I like while I’m in bed with her and she should reciprocate.
If she hits a good spot let her know, if she’s got pretty eyes let her know, if you like the way her boobs are jiggling let her know, if you’re gonna bust let her know. She’ll eventually do the same and it makes for a better sex life.
Thanks man

It's impossible, especially if she's very attractive. What is possible is her liking you and bonding with you, wanting to be in a monogamous relationship with you. Then competition is irrelevant.
Talk to her, seek to understand her, be a reliable confidant.
Tbh I didn’t find her super attractive when I matched with her. Like she’s cute I guess but I really wasn’t that into her until I met her

That's how it goes sometimes.
Ya but I’m saying she’s not like super attractive but she’s cute

This post had to be taken down because it appears to be focused on a specific situation or person. While Field Reports deal with specific situations and people, remember that the focus is different:
No worries though! Though the thread has been taken down, any conversations you have started here can still continue, and if you want to PM a mod to get their opinion on this thread, feel free to do so and they will still be able to weigh in.
For next time, remember that posts about a specific situational advice with a specific person are fine as field should be directed to Ask Seddit (/r/askseddit), not to be confused with Ask Reddit.
This had to be taken down but I'll add my two cents as well.
1
First let's rewind a bit and review seduction basics.
What is seduction, really? It's a form of social interaction that requires basic social skills to get good results.
Social skills would include things like: confidence (for escalation and making moves in general), calibration (for knowing when and how to make moves), logistics (having or making the time and place for things to go down), etc.
Side note: It bears stating that people have different preferences. If you get a bunch of people in a room and ask them who their 10s are, they won't reach consensus. One man's 10 is another man's 6 or 7.

I make over six figures am tall I consider myself somewhat funny. I’m taking her on a somewhat nice date tonight. This is date number 5. We’ve had sex twice and will hopefully do it again tonight.
I make over six figures
am tall
I consider myself somewhat funny.
I’m taking her on a somewhat nice date tonight.
This is date number 5.
We’ve had sex twice and will hopefully do it again tonight.
So none of these things actually constitute basic seduction skills.
The fact you've had sex a couple times by this point indicates that you at least partly fall into her personal range of taste.
3
I live in NYC so obviously she’s got like 10 other options.
Anyone with self esteem is going to realize they have options.
That includes you. You have options.
4
How can I make sure I’m the best one so she keeps coming back?
This involves her personal taste. You have no control over that.
What's worse, if you go into all of this with the attitude that you're trying to outcompete the entire city of NYC, then you could unintentionally come off as massively insecure, which could ironically make you less attractive to her and/or drive her away.
5
Confidence is a mindset, but how to build it if you don't have it?
A
Faking it until you make it can be a temporary shot in the arm, but if that fakery isn't supported by something real, then it'll collapse in the real world.
B: An alternative
Find something that challenges you. Like learning a new language, a martial art, or a social partner dance (Salsa, Argentine Tango, West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, etc.).
Then allow yourself the luxury of acknowledging your victories along the path of learning that thing. This is a big piece and it requires a personal choice from you.
The key here is that one way to gain real confidence is to learn that you can trust yourself in new situations.
Confidence will never involve trying to force someone to feel something. You're going to lose when you fall into that kind of thinking.
