I've started reading "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and can say, that thinking about the psychological aspect of pickup is deep and truly helpful for my inner game. I starting to realize how and when I put on a "Nice Guy" routine with respect to girls, thinking it a good way to operate in life. Now I see this facade as false, manipulative, and wrong.

Part of the reason for being a "nice guy" derives from my own deeply seeded feelings of inadequacy.

My question for all of you is, how do you overcome these feelings? I have many objectively positive character traits and successes, but have not converted this into female attraction.

I seek validation from girls. How can I turn this around, to the much more attractive quality of giving validation to girls?
