In a general sense, I understand "practice makes perfect" to be true. What bothers me are the wasted opportunities that practice creates.

For some reason, I have problems talking to hot women. It must be confidence related because I have no problems with average women. Either way, I hate the idea that every time I talk to a hot chick I'm "practicing". I may be learning something, but the bigger picture is that I just got friendzoned or rejected by a truly hot woman.

Are repeated attempts the only way to fix whatever my problem may be? My one thought was to go overboard with confidence (bordering douchebag) and see how they react.

I read somewhere that you have to behave differently with hot women. Maybe that's just gotten stuck in my head.

I'm not really into PUA. I don't know the terms or any "system". I'm just a good looking guy who kinda knows whats up.
