Hey guys, first time here. I've been reading The Game and one of the recurring themes is that you need to smile a lot, because it exudes confidence and makes you more attractive. I am a pretty decent looking guy - tall, very athletic, smart looking, etc. - but I have a bad smile. It's crooked and sort of goofy looking, not repulsive, but just a bit weird. You would be surprised how damaging this is to one's game (or maybe I'm just imagining it?) I've always gotten by with women based on being smart and a good athlete, so it's not the end of the world. I'm 24 years old and have been with a handful of girls, two were long term relationships, so I'm not a freak or anything. I just want to really play The Game. Can I become a good PUA without beaming all the time, or am I pretty much screwed?

Inner game, Inner game Inner game.... stop imagining it. Accept it, u cant change it. Its part of you, you yourself said your attractive (not that looks matter).
YOu have to convince yourself you like it, or no1 else will.

Plus, i wouldnt worry to much considering you said u have been with many girls b4 u learn about the game, therefore, with the game even "ugly" guys (hell look at mystery and neil!!) can game HB10.

Why are putting a lot of emphasis on your smile? Do you think us girls really notice such a minor thing? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Its only goofy and weird if its a forced smile. Be natural. You need to work on inner game and accept the things you cannot change about yourself.

PLUS...you CAN actually work on your smile a little bit. Just practice in front of a mirror.

you're just projecting that you are insecure about it......

work on you're inner confidence and get comfortable smiling....

work on your inner demon by exposing it ...... be proud of your smile and do it whenever you get the chance.....

I appreciate the advice.. got in front of my mirror and did a lil' practice, built up some confidence, then went outside, saw a chick with a yappy little dog, went up to her, bent down to pet the nasty little thing and said: "Usually I don't like yappy little dogs, but yours is actually sorta cute." Threw another little neg and eventually got her number. I feel like a million bucks right now
