At a social event or being with girls in general, I have found the way to break rapport (cocky-funny, other ways to pass shits tests)- but I feel I come across as too strong and fail to calibrate the situation for comfort: realized it generally stems from the frame of being butthurt and shedding my anger that I don’t care about women. I am pretty sure I am called an ass on my back or atleast not viewed as the “nice guy”. Any advice for me on how to socially calibrate and manage comfort and value? I hate giving power away ifywim. One thing I note is I am still awkward at kino while escalating, and that might actually help in comfort. Guys, you have to help me out on this.
