I've reached 180 days, I'm not against you. However, NoFap is exaggerated just like most things in the media. Their "scientific backing" is untested, and is mostly anecdotal data/experiences. I minor in psychology and this is something that comes up quite often in our class discussions: the oversimplification of psychological issues and fusing them with biological issues. P.I.E.D. does not exist in the scientific world. There are papers that even refute its claim's. I suggest you read a lot more than the one sided argument of that subreddit. Google the invalidity of NoFap, you may find some interesting information. Also, keep in mind that everything you read, watch, or listen to on the internet is usually oversimplified or flat out incorrect. The internet morphs around what you think is true or false, that's why you have suggested feeds, that's why Facebook is garbage, that's why people are stupid and can't make their own arguments against or for something without repeating something else they heard on YouTube or Fox News.

I'm the wrong person to ask about women, honestly.

I can probably help with the other stuff, though. Since you're in college, the best thing you can do looks wise is hit the gym and stay on top of your grooming. Do compound lifts like squats, bench press, clean, rows, and deadlifts, at whatever weight you can barely do 5 sets of 5 reps. Increase this weight any time it gets too easy. Do this four or five times a week, with a day in between workouts. If you don't have equipment with you, squats, push-ups, pull-ups, and not overeating will do to at least keep your body somewhat in shape.

As far as clothes, I would stick to the more average styles around you (probably a lot of dudes wearing basketball shorts, hoodies, sneakers - this is totally fine), with a subtle piece or two that's unique and stands out - necklace, watch, whatever, it doesn't have to be expensive but it has to capture a bit of your personality or express something important to you.

If you're going out then the standard fare applies, a well-fitted pair of jeans and a button-up shirt.

My point was although you may not be an 8 or 10 like the other guy said, your look fine and don't really need much improvement. At that point it's more about confidence and communication skills. That said If you do still want to improve your looks, there is always something you can do. Going to the gym, takes a bit of effort, but will be the most rewarding for attractiveness payoff. Dressing nicely will help as a quick fix. The key is usually a good fit and simple style with a hint of flair. But for you the biggest thing you need is to improve your confidence. You posted how "bad" do I look, then took my previous comment only criticism. Negativity has its place when keeping things in check with reality, but it is not appealing/attractive as positivity. People respond to positivity as everyone want to hang out with someone who looks to carry fun and good times with them. Your looks are not the thing holding you back, its your confidence. and the best thing about that is you can change that. It won't happen over night but work towards it.

Yea that's understandable. I am more confident than i used to, but still nowhere near the levels of the guys who do pick up videos. I think it all starts at the realisation that despite how people display themselves, everyone has doubts, uncertainty, insecurities and feel awkward at times. The difference is not that they aren't there, its that they don't give power to them and leth those things have power over them.
Start off with mindset. don't look at someone thinking 'i might be bothering them if i approach them' or 'they might not like me or find me attractive'. Don't place her above you mentally. Take the mindset that it's just a simple interaction between 2 people, and whether she is interested or not, she will probably enjoy the interaction.
The next step is to 'just do it'. Practice is key as it normalises the situation, and enables you to realise its really not a big deal. Start off with simple interactions on guys or girls, just to get used top saying something to strangers. and just keep starting interaction until its just not as big of a deal. when you are feeling more confident start flirting and asking for numbers. It's not about the outcome, its about the practice.

The absolute best advice I can give you is keep your personality genuine and be likeable. By that I mean be nice to everyone (treat wait staff like your mom is serving you every time, give a genuine compliment to a stranger every day), don't make fun of people, don't talk badly about anyone, smile at strangers, keep a positive outlook on everything, find the good in everyone every time and treat every girl with respect. All these things will build your confidence too which is extremely attractive.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, adds to good looks (man or woman) than a genuine, nice, optimistic personality. And nothing takes away from good looks faster than a selfish/arrogant/bad personality.

Of course this is only my opinion but haven't you ever noticed the most beautiful woman in the room isn't necessarily the one that turns every head when she walks in? It is usually the attractive one that slipped in while everyone was looking at the bombshell - but once you start talking to the one that slipped in, you can't believe how beautiful she is because she has the best personality that all the guys end up flocking to - but this is just my opinion and it is what I find most attractive in every man. You are a good looking guy, a great personality on top of good looks is icing on the cake! :)
