I was always that dude who kept his head down, and made awkward eye contact with those I spoke to. My parents always used to tell me to hold my chin up while I spoke to others, though I never understood why

Now, at 23, I had a huge revelation (still in alpha testing, not a lot of women of similar age around, mostly those in 40s and 50s, and they know my family). I realized that we can convey dominance, peer consideration and humbleness with a simple shift of our viewing angle in the vertical plane, and I'm sure not even my parents have understood this aspect of the "chin up".

Check out this experiment: 1) Set a random field of view, and divide it into two, the upper and lower halves, with a thick horizontal arbitrary line (For our convenience, let's call it the Visual Arbitrary Line or the VAL)

2) When talking to a person you want to exude dominance and confidence, or to simply come off as assertive, simply place your head level in such a way that your (potential lover's) eyes are in a parallel line slightly below your VAL (Experiment with the gap between the lines, just above the latter implies you're a dominant guy, and it's tenfold effective if we speak slowly, deeply and calmly.

2) Setting your friend's eyes at the level of your VAL makes you a peer, and exudes equality and a sense of belonging.

3) Setting someone's (Usually Family, Boss etc) eye level just above your VAL indicates submissiveness, and that is where you have lost, nice guys, y'all used this excessively to everyone in the hopes of getting someone to like you (haha, but you just regained the key to your best self)

Combine this experiment with appropriate voice tones, content (the latter can take a bit of work, but is worth it), and we can see the change happening. Hell, even if we do a coarse tuning of the latter, the results will be astonishing. Combine it with appropriate attitude and discipline, and the results should skyrocket.

Tell me how it went for you and comment below, action taker!

A pictorial representation will be made soon for your better understanding.
