Male fashion blogs and magazines. You'd be surprised by how much a well-dressed man can become more attractive. This is something that anyone can work on. I know I have myself.

And for God sake go to the gym every single day. Cut out the sugars potatoes and starches out of your diet and you will start to Crave them less and less. If you're overweight.

Go to a hair salon and tell them you want to improve the cut of your hair see what they can do with it.

You can do this man but it takes work to culture self-worth.

Think of a cool hobby that you've seen guys you respect do and go do it if it seems interesting to you. Especially if it's something you can humble brag to girls about.

Workout, bulk up, eat 4 chicken breasts a day, drink lots of water, Etc. It's not just for douxhebags anymore.

Life can be good! Good luck on your journey brother!

Thanks for the answer. I've been thinking about going to the gym but am mostly put off by not knowing anyone, the price, etc... I'm also pretty skinny/average so no need in the 'dieting' department.

For now my hobbies include going out & sitting on the PC all day, so yeah maybe later after school i'll have to go look up some fun decent hobbies for me to interact with people (not just women) in general. Approaching etc is still an issue but might get better the more social contact i have.

People, family, friends, often tell me i'm not anti-social or anything, just have difficulties meeting new people & feeling comfortable around them. Once i'm settled i'm just a regular dude.

Also one last question. I look pretty young for my age, which is great once i get older, but doesn't attract women right now really. Last weekend i got carded again while being 4+ older than the age you can buy alcohol (spirits) in my country. This shatters me inside :(. Any tips on how to look older maybe by clothes/haircut/presence etc?

I'm often told I'm good looking by women. I'm used to them catching a glance, and then looking up and staring at me.

I'm not photogenic, however. My face just doesn't translate well to the camera. Except at certain angle's, perhaps.

I'm pretty sure I could get some good photos if I hired a pro photographer and stylist. But I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work well on a profile. You need the "action" photos, and group photos and all that suck-ass. I don't have friends that like taking photos, or being taken pictures of. So... Yeh.

Maybe online dating works for some people, but it's just as much, if not more, effort to get it to work. At least for the rest of us people that don't constantly take pictures of each other.

And putting up a profile without that effort will drain your confidence. I've deleted all my profiles, and it feels great. No more "waiting" for another match. Fuck that shit. If I want a date I fucking go ask for one from the women I know, or meet. Simple.
