Ok, so I'm a previous underwear model and consider myself a pretty good looking guy. I'm naturally conservative and shy, which has been resulting in me getting girls that want me but me not necessarily wanting them, somewhat like mopeds ( they're fun to ride until you get caught with one by your friends) LOL

Anyways, I honestly need someone to just hang out with and train me. I've watched mostly all the videos and enjoy the annihilation method and noticed that I do most of the things naturally anyway. My biggest fear is rejection since I not too familiar with it, though I have yet to really experience it. I kinda psych myself out into not approaching a set or a female. I live in West Los Angeles, CA and a need a pro for guidance, and would be more than willing to compensate them for their time in some way.

Dude, you sound exactly like me in the way that you're facing the same problems. I'm also told I have pretty good looks but like you, I end up mostly getting the girls that want me and not the ones I want because I fear rejection too much.

That said, I don't have much to contribute since I'm basically in the same situation. I did just read a post about inner game and had a little click moment though - it occurred to me that when approaching girls from scratch (something I have NEVER done until now) my mind is already racing from all the information I've tried to absorb in pickup. Result is I'm even more nervous than I should be and I try to be someone I'm not. Unsurprisingly, I lost all my natural ability to be charming and charismatic, and ended up conveying the image of an unconfident, incongruent and boring guy.

Lesson learned: take the good things from pick-up, but DON'T give up the things that already work for you! You don't need to change your person completely to get good at pickup, confidence in who you are as a person is attractive.

Sorry if I've hijacked your thread - all this just to say I'm in the same position and open to advice others can give on this.

No prob foolish, but what do you think would be the best solution? One think I noticed from females is that upon approach they have the presupposition of me being a player and they tend to put their defenses up quite quickly. One thing I'm practicing right now is having ample material so not to run out of conversation, and convincing myself to pull the trigger.If you have any reference, or posts that would aid me, I would be more than grateful foolish.

I read Stormy's thread on direct natural game a few days ago and it has literally blown my mind. You should check it out, the reason why you're probably getting shot down when you open is because you're trying to be someone you're not, and girls can sense that.

Here's the thread:

I also started his positivity challenge and it's made a huge difference from Day 1. I have more energy, am generally more sociable and people interact with me more because I seem happy.

Best of luck!
