I've always been told to be physically attractive by girls, (I've been told that I fall into the "tall dark handsome" kind of category), yet I haven't closed a deal in ages. I mean, really, I'm told I'm good-looking on a regular enough basis that I'm confident that I'm doing okay in that part of my life.

Whenever I talk to girls, I am never able to get anywhere. Maybe it's a matter of me coming off as arrogant when I'm trying to come off as confident. Honestly, I never really pushed confidence until I started reading these PUA books out there. However, once I started reading those, I am starting to feel that I appear arrogant.

Or, it could be a matter of me being shyer than I even realize. I may think I'm coming off as confident, while I'm really being shy? I think that I'm somewhat of a shy guy, not in the sense that I'm not able to start a conversation, but moreso that I'm not able to really be truly myself with people right off the bat.

See, I work in Waikiki (the busiest tourism area in Hawaii) and I meet beautiful women regularly. I get to try and swoop women off their feet on a regular basis, knowing that I'm probably never going to see them again, (most are from international origins, if not just from the continental US, which is obviously far as well,) and that a lot of the girls that come in are looking for that something different during their vacation. Yet, throughout my near-two years at this place, I haven't once gotten anywhere with these womens.

I'm beginning to notice that this post is becoming a long read, so I guess I'll just stop here and see if anyone has any immediate advice for me.

Maybe you feel shitty about aspects of your life outside your looks and that's poisoning the way you market yourself. I'm insecure about my job and that makes me less of a man at the end of the day, no matter how I spin it. But anyway, welcome.

I'm like you, I told I'm good looking and funny, and I'm tall so its all good, but I still have issues kicking off with women, if I catch IOI's or they give me something to talk about then its fine. But like you, sometimes if I'm stood next to a hot woman I never know how to approach a convo.

My advice for you to be would just get stuck into the material on this site, that is what I'm about to start. I'm sure you'll soon be getting the women you want, aslong as you practice of course
