To the males reading this, tell me if this speaks to you...You may not create new Love Advice Forum threadsYou may not post repliesYou may not post attachmentsYou may not edit your postsForum RulesIf I read one more dating article that tells guys to just "be confident” because women love a confident man, but never go on to provide REAL ways to achieve this, I’m going to puke! Telling a guy to “Be Confident" without concrete practices to back that up is useless. Agree?
Thankfully, in frustration lay the seeds of invention and my frustration led to me writing out a few confidence-boosting practices that have worked for me, and I think they'll work for you too. Let me know what you think...
Accept What Is
Stop arguing with reality. This is step one in overcoming low confidence - accept your fears surrounding women, without letting them stop you from taking action. Don't fight your low confidence or pretend it doesn’t exist. It does! And it's critical to your success that you honor it before it'll dissolve and eventually empower you. Acceptance means that you stop pretending to be a hot shot with zero insecurities and finally admit that you’re a bloody human being and could use a little support. Pssst...women love an honest man (insecurities and all).
You Are Getting Veeery Sleepy
Hypnotherapy for low confidence is a very popular option for men who struggle when it comes to dating. This powerful technique helps men remove many of their negative thoughts and worries about dating and replaces them with positive ones, transforming any guy into a genuinely confident man.
Mirror Mirror on The Wall
Practice talking in front of the mirror. This may sound daft but it is important that you learn how to talk in a confident manner. Another way to achieve this is to join a local Toastmasters group (do a web search for Toastmasters). The more you practice talking aloud, especially in front of others, the more confident you will become. One of the last things you want to have happen on a date is to start stumbling over your words and not be able to communicate clearly.
What! She’s Not Into Video Games?
Do your best to be familiar with some general topics of conversation. And no, video games and sports are not general topics of conversation with women. If you know a little about your date and what her interests are, then research, ahead of time, related topics that may come up. A woman loves nothing more than a man who has an understanding and appreciation of a topic that she is into.
Okay, that’s it for me for now. What else has worked for the guys on here? What other things have you done to help increase your confidence with women?
