I have been gazing this forum and all of its cited material for a little more than a few months. I've applied much of the basic seduction ideal here along with a lot of my own self-counseling. I've reached a great level of self-confidence and self-validation. I've never been happier. Even as a natural introvert, I am thriving out of my shell. I must give a lot of credit to this subreddit for my improvement.

However, when it comes to claiming women there has been barely a tangible spike in attraction. At least it seems to the current audience of females I am catering to: high school girls.

What result have I truly reached? The only people I am attracting more attention from are -- ironically -- teachers and the more mature and " nerdy"girls. My approach even through very innocuous openers and casual qualifying teasing only leads to most of these girls shutting down into insecurity. It seems I only intimidate now when I attempt to attract and qualify girls that meet my interest. In contrast, when I give praise it is received as a gracious gift. Still even though I have received respect in this endeavor of social improvement, I feel only still as an anomaly. I am still only treated as different but attractive only to a select few.

Should this be expected in a high school setting? Will things be better in the future?

Much obliged.
