Reading a lot on TRP reminded me of my buddy growing up, specifically to do with closing the deal. Now my guy, let's call him Ray, had a strike rate of close to 90% with females because no matter what shit-test the target threw at him he would escalate and look them dead in the eye. One particular situation sticks out when we were in a club. Table of 5 girls around the 6-7 one 9. Ray spots this and without batting an eyelid walks straight up to the 9 and says "Dear god what were you thinking wearing that? It's hideous!" She is naturally taken aback and says "Excuse me??". Ray, not missing an opening says "Why, did you fart too?" The 9 mumbles red faced that she didn't fart. Ray "Then what are you apologizing for? I mean, your fashion sense is crap but that can be improved upon, you just need the right guy to tell you what to wear". Meanwhile, Old Beta Me is sitting in the corner in awe and laughing, even her mates are enthralled. He bagged her that night. This is the kind of front and patter he used. He never lifted, had an average face but man did he have confidence. I can't remember a point in time when he didn't have a LTR or plates, and I have known him nearly 40 years now. He was a definite Alpha back then but weirdly slipped into betaization once married though she is a nice girl .

Point is confidence can do way more than you think it can. Never put a woman on a pedestal. Hope this helps the younger Red Pillers.
