You've got an inner demon that acting as a sticking point. You feel like you don't truly deserve those 9s you're apprehensive about approaching.

Write down a list of 10 reasons why a hot babe would be lucky to be with you. In fact, post those 10 reasons here. Hey, everyone should post their 10 reasons here. I already did it. My 10 reasons are:

1. I can give hot, sexy women multiple orgasms.
2. I can make hot and sexy women feel truly desirable in so many ways on so many levels.
3. I am an endless source of excitement and fun for hot and sexy women.
4. I can make hot and sexy girls feel like real women.
5. I can make hot and sexy women feel better about themselves.
6. I can take the burden of leadership from those poor hot and sexy women.
7. I can give hot and sexy women higher social value just by my presence alone.
8. I look after my girls and care about my girls very much. They are hot and sexy.
9. I am comfortable in my own skin and any/all environments so I can make hot and sexy women feel comfortable as well.
10. I can detach when needed.

Make your list, post it here, and read it to yourself every fucking day until those affirmations become a part of who you are.
