So this is a general persuasion post but one which is highly relevant to game. Basically I wanted to know your thoughts on the following predicament:

As we know some people can just walk into a room and immediately light everybody up. Their energy, posture etc are all so inviting that those around them wanna talk to them before they’ve even said a word. But, on the other hand, you have people who get shitty responses not just from women but from almost everybody they encounter. The reasons I’ve been able to narrow this down to include:

  • looking/feeling miserable (and thus attracting the same from others)
  • appearing weak, or like an easy target (bad posture, defensive energy etc)
  • feeling tense, and thus making others nervous
  • being too “in your head”
  • not smiling (see above)
  • having a creepily withdrawn or passive aggressive attitude
  • having a very punchable face (I’ve met guys like this who fuck so if this is you don’t get too hung up on it)

I guess what I’m asking is: what other ways are there that people unintentionally put other people off? I’ve met guys who can make anyone like them without trying and I’ve met guys who just get shit on by everybody and all anyone can point to is “there’s just something off about him” or “he just has one of those faces.” Are there any ways besides the ones I’ve listed that can subconsciously alienate people, and how would you go about fixing them?
