I do. But it doesn't help real life situations.

I think you just need to make sure the guy know's you like him. Other than that he probably won't be put off by your shyness. But if he thinks you aren't into him then he might just not make a move.

I cured my social anxiety by eating right, regular exercise and practice. Took 2 years though.

I just can't do "letting the guy know I'm into him". I would be so nervous I would not look at him or talk to him at all.
I will try exercising more.

Speaking for people like me, it does. I can't even look my friend's just above average bf in the eyes because I'm, just f*****g shy and awkward with boys.

Men still don't care about you being shy or awkward. Seriously, men have pretty low standards for that kind of stuff... and the older a guy gets, the more he realizes most women are crazy by default anyway so we just accept it.

Try being a guy. That's when you gotta work for a relationship.

In fact - over confidence is a turn off.

That's just synonymous with being a b**ch. Good for a short fling but nothing else. Although I have to say, those women get sh*t done.

I'm in a grad program that is female dominated (I'm 1 out of 2 times, the other 23 people are female). I always overhear the girls that are like 5s at best talking about guys they matched with on Tinder. Sometimes I'll hear "I added him on Facebook" and I'll look over my shoulder to see some jacked, Norwood 0, textbook looking Chad Thundercock. I hear them talk as if they actually have a chance with the guy.

I was at a gathering last night and I unfortunately ran into my oneitis (girl I've hooked up with multiple times but wants nothing to do with me relationship wise). She has this nice way about her where she likes to brag to me about the guys she has been talking to; even showing me pictures of these textbook good looking guys from Tinder. To make a long story short I ended up getting blackout drunk.

You'd be surprised how many guys got put off by my shyness. I would have guys check me out loads but not talk to me. Occasionally I would have guys think I have a problem with them. I dunno.

They do indeed.

If it comes like you're not into them, they'll likely walk away.

What do you plan to do about it?

You'd be surprised how many 5s get Chad thundercock because of their confidence.

We really get all kinds of people here. From total incels who can't get laid no matter what, to slayers ala tellersquill. Girls who have slept with so many men they are emberassed to say how many on an anonomyous forum.

And now an above average looking girl, who can't get laid in a club.

I'm not complaining, I actually like reading all the different perspectives of life by completely different people united by hairloss.

But see, the thing is, I can't even do eye contacts and smile because I'm just awkward af. I get a lot of stares and that's all I get from men. No kidding.
Yeah, a lot of men look over and wait to see if they get a cue (a smile or eye contact) before they approach.

If the guys super confident or drunk he might approach without a cue.

Guys are supposed to initiate everything. I'm pretty sure she's not pushing them away.

Maybe samantha just wants sex snd doesn't care about relationships?

She's a 7 I believe?

If true she should have no problems, relationships or just sex. I don't know a single 7 girl who has such bad social anxiety that it hinders guys hitting on them. So I guess Samantha's must be fairly bad.

Don't know my rating. It can be anything. I do get approached by men in clubs. But I would walk away. There was one time I got approched by a good looking guy in the grocery shop, I froze and said I had to go.

Yes my social anxiety is pretty bad.

BH was going out to chubby 4's. It definitely happens. It's just not going to result in a relationship most of the time.
Yes, but that guy was fucked in the head.

I was just sleeping with 5s as it was easier and there was no pressure.

That was me on the outset of my depression and hair loss. Now I'm no longer depressed (actually pretty happy) just socially anxious

I can vouch that Samantha is attractive enough that it is strange she cannot get laid by an at least decent looking guy

Honestly, rejection gets tiring, so if you're refusing to even make eye contact with a dude, or give him a slight signal, he probably just doesn't feel like risking the embarrassment

Exercise, nutrition and good sleep is my best advice.

You just have to force yourself sometimes.

Yeah I know. I've slept with a 3 and a few 4's before. I'm about a 6.

Back when I had bad social anxiety and very little experience I'd take what I could get so long at they weren't huge.

The biggest chad I know (easily a 9, he's literally slept with 300+ girls) has slept with 5's maybe even a few 4's.
