Search Results: build up confidence

Yesterday I saw a woman that Interested me. She was on the phone so I waited until she finished while I could build up some more confidence. I am not good at approach and become very nervous..

Then suddenly out of nowhere some guy walks up to her, interrupts her phone conversation and introduces himself to her before I could make my move. I am 100% sure they didn't know each other. And it also looked like they really hit it off because she broke of her phone conversation for him. All I could think is why I didn't just interrupt her conversation.

So, am I too nice? Should I just go for it? Because in the past I have had more instances in which I waited until a girl would be fully available only to be outmaneuvered by some guy who doesn't care if she is available or not.

Do women like that more than the guy that waits like me? What should I have done?

This 5'2" Russian teenager - who also likes to take topless pictures of herself, and to cosplay as Chun Li in her spare time...
... holds three world powerlifting records. Ms Vins says: "People know me as 'muscle Barbie' - I like this comparison. It's nice. I have these big, beautiful eyes and wear make-up. But at the same time, I'm strong. I can deadlift 180kg in training. For me, there is no limit. I want to become as muscly as possible. Many people have tried to knock me down but my training has made me strong - both physically and mentally."

Her appearance divides the opposite sex. "Everyone has an opinion on what I look like - they either respect my work or reprimand me for being a muscly girl," Julia says. "But to be honest, I've noticed that the guys who are negative about my athleticism - are just jealous." Before she took up powerlifting, the naturally slender girl felt like she never had any purpose in life. Here's her back then, as a 15yr old back in 2011:
"Because of my facial features, people have always said I look like a doll," she said. "And I was a good, academic girl for so many years. I studied music, was well-read, participated in various school competitions and was skilled at art. But I never felt like I had any particular objective in life. My body was not in harmony with my soul - it wasn't the right one for me. I thought I might see if I could build some strength and confidence by weight training at the gym... I started powerlifting. I loved it! I knew then that my goal was - to build muscle."

Julia feels it's important to look sexy even when she's pumping iron. "I always wear make-up, even when I'm squatting. I think it's important to look attractive in any situation. I make sure my hair is done up in cute plaits and ribbons. I like fashion too but it's very difficult to find nice clothes as my size is not standard."
So, do you think she's managed to pull it off? On a scale of 1-10, how high would you rate her?
