I made a post the other day about those of us who miss lots of opportunities in which women are attracted to us, largely due to holding limiting beliefs about ourselves: https://archive.today/wQ4lw
I commented that Good Looking Loser has a great but small section on the subject of what he calls "Entitlement" but no article on how to develop it. With impeccable timing, he just wrote something on the subject: http://www.goodlookingloser.com/entry/confidence/the-myth-and-pursuit-of-immovable-confidence
Basically, in his view, the best way to develop confidence is to ignore the issue, work on your self and your game, get aggressive, and get laid. It's a bit long but a decent read, and the North Korean propaganda pics made me laugh.
IMO this approach doesn't really address the issue of getting that first success, but the right mentality is a good start. Basically, just shut down your uncertainties and self-doubt and power through the nervousness until it isn't there anymore. "Fake it till you make it."

This can not be stated enough; aggressive guys are always more successful than passive guys. For example, my friend hooked up with a chick in our social group and later on she said:
"I didn't even mean to, he was just in my face all night and I felt like I had to"

My favorite move is to pick a girl up by her ass. Never had it back fire. Went out with this chick recently, who I met online, her profile said she doesn't do hookups. After the date, I'm walking her to her car, feeling out the situation, get to the car... Blah blah blah, grab her by the ass hoist her up, full on make out, I tell her my place is 5 minutes away, next thing I know we're banging down the walls at my place.

"I didn't even mean to, he was just in my face all night and I felt like I had to"
LOL at that dissonance.

The good old "slut shield". In order to avoid feeling like an easy whore who lays with whoever comes across her path, this tactic is commonly used as a way to deflect all responsability onto the guy. The person that made it happen was him. She just merely had a lapse in their judgement and let it happen. This is the reason whenever two people get drunk and have sex the only one that gets to claim rape and be heard is her folks, by the way.
It's the same kind of stuff that you will hear in court cases from the defender's lawyer. "He was too inebriated to judge right". "He didn't know what he was doing". "He was emotionally distressed at the time and those emotions got the better of him". This guy didn't kill another man, he merely had a brief moment of madness where he could not control his his inner animal from commiting the crime. And suddenly this guy becomes a victim. Of drugs, of himself, you name it.
I mean, it's not like you can really judge women from empowering this tactic. They've been hammered so hard by everyone that being a slut is literally being worse than Hitler that they will perform Cirque du Soleil-tier mental gymnastics in order to avoid being perceived as one. It's our fault as men for putting them in that position (^^^See ^^^what ^^^I ^^^did ^^^there? ^^^It ^^^just ^^^works ^^^so ^^^well)

Nothing's ever their fault "it just happens."

Where do you draw the line between being aggressive and being annoying/persistent?
[deleted] 10y ago
There isn't really a line; either you go home with the girl or you get rejected and move on to the next one
rpscrote 10y ago
that's the wrong frame of mind -- I like the quote in this article "barge in and run shit"
Ultimately the response is, you don't care what or where the line is (short of obvious shit like running up and punching some chick or other dumb crap). You don't ask this question because its irrelevant to you. Kind've a shitty answer but that's the goal.
^^^ that is for approaching, short term.
Long term the cure for persistence/neediness is abundance mentality derived from real, true abundance. That, and recognizing the signs of oneitis in yourself and appropriately heading it off. Gotta have that level of self awareness, which comes from getting oneitis, fucking it up bad and learning from experience. Unfortunately oneitis is reaaaallly hard to take advice on until you've learned the hard way.
JackGetsIt 10y ago
This is so true. Some people just have to learn the hard way.

I guess I'm never getting laid. I'm just not aggressive. Maybe I should just quit the whole game since it all comes down to animalistic shit and I have this developed frontal cortex

Lift and stop masturbating and the testosterone will raise your confidence and aggression. It's nothing to do with how civilised you are.

I figure that during night game aggression can equal confidence if you're attractive

I like the article but I remember reading somewhere that the Good Looking Loser guy is a fraud who hires model actresses in his pickup videos. If I find it I'll link it. I think he makes good points but if he is frauding for his fans thats pretty bad.
ScumbagBillionaire 10y ago
Except the chicks he has in his videos are 100% attainable, the interactions are realistic, and he openly admits to and even publishes his rejections for all of his fans to see and learn from.
Also almost all of his early videos are sketchy as fuck with shitty camera quality.
I think he's 100% legit.
[deleted] 10y ago
The guy is tall, super jacked, high status, well dressed and he's out there with the confidence to approach hot chicks all day. I doubt he would ever need to hire models for is PU videos. Plus he has tons of rejections so i doubt he's hiring models.
thredditsowaway 10y ago
I haven't read that, but I treat every pickup video I see with total skepticism. That being said, fake or not, a lot of this stuff works. My first ONS off cold approach was just me emulating RSD Tyler, who has also been accused of faking videos. I haven't tried GLL's night game stuff on my own yet but it's really similar to how my natural alpha buddies act.

I read the same thing, but his advice is pretty good so I let it slide. I think it's just from jealous PA people rags on.
