Hey there! My real name is of no importance, but you may call me Fashionguy! Personally, I don't really think of myself as anything special. I do not see myself above anyone else, I am just "me" and I am happy with my life and the decisions I have made so far in life. The only aspect of my life I would really like to improve is my love life.
When I was growing up, I had a problem. It seemed like every woman I was interested in was never interested in me. Back then, when I was younger, I would face so much rejection from women... it ruined my self confidence. When it came to women, I would always "almost" fail. I say "almost", because I used to have women that would like me, but I was never interested in them. The type of women that liked me were usually out of shape, lacked social skills or had self esteem issues. So, to add insult to injury, this used to make me even more mad and really destroyed my self esteem when it came to women.
As time went by, I stopped approaching women all together. I just didn't understand why some men got all the women and some guys (like myself) had so much trouble attracting women. As a college educated, fit, sucessful and fun guy... It really irked me.
Throughout my college years, I didn't approach women at all. After class, hanging out with friends or working out, I would just go back to my dorm room and watch pornography and masturbate to it. If I went out to the bars with my friends, I would just watch them approach women and then later go home and jerk off to those women. At the bars, my friends would often get lucky. Hell, even one of my friends was able to have a threesome with 2 women he met at the bar!
I would also eventually turn to online dating and get numerous dates (Tinder), but those dates would never go anywhere (I would often get a lot of makeouts) and I would never hear from the women again after the first date, which again added to my frustration.
I am currently 24 years of age, and for the past year and a half I have been studying love, sex and relationships. How they work. The science behind attraction. Why some men have all the luck. Just things like that. Also... for the past year and half, I have been drifting in and out of online dating and going out more. I have recently cut online dating all together.
For the past few weeks, I have been seeing a lot of men in my position... some even worse of than me! In this take, I want to educate some of you guys on my findings and help you at least make the first steps of attracting women and how to maintain that "winning" mindset that is important in dating and sex. If you think any of this sounds stupid, that's on you. These are just things that have helped me out a little. Let's begin:
STOP WATCHING PORN
Porn is easily accessible and it covers a temporary problem. For myself, after unsuccessful dates, night outs, or rejections... I would just go home and watch porn. Because of pornography, there were some times in the dating life when I didn't even want to approach or talk to women... because I could just visualize or dream about sex by masturbating and watching porn. If you want to increase your dating odds, you must cut porn out of your life.
DON'T MASTURBATE SO MUCH
Porn and masturbation go hand in hand (no pun intended). After I masturbate, I feel sexually relieved and I stop caring about talking to women, meeting women or having sex. If I start feeling horny, I would instantly masturbate and the urges would go away. By masturbating a lot, you are relieving your sexual energy. For myself, personally, I feel more confident when I stop masturbating. I feel hornier... I actually feel like getting out there and talking to women. When I start masturbating, it relieves my sexual energy and I don't feel like getting out there and talking to women... because I have already "sexually satisfied" myself.
STOP ONLINE DATING
Even if you are a decent looking guy, online dating is pointless and a waste of time. I have been on countless online dates, but they never go anywhere. Some of these women aren't really into dating, and they use online profiles and go out on dates with you just to boost their self esteem. Not only that, by online dating, you are just running away from your real problem - MEETING/APPROACHING WOMEN IN REAL LIFE.
CHANGE YOUR LOOKS
A lot of men, I noticed... well, they are very sloppy. A lot of men (not all) have no idea how to dress. When you approach women, sure... your personality counts, but they are going to notice how you look first. I sugges that you take pride in the way you look. Here are some stores I suggest:
H&M: https://www.hm.com/us/department/MEN
Banana Republic: https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/division.do?cid=5343&mlink=9763181,topNavM,visnav&clink=9763181
Express: https://www.express.com/clothing/men/sec/menCategory
Abercrombie & Fitch: https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/mens
Ebay (if you search ebay, you can actually find some really nice blazers for cheap prices): https://www.ebay.com/sch/Mens-Clothing-/1059/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=slim+blazers
These are just places I shop, but I have been complimented by men and women on the way I dress. If you are not sure what would look good on you, always ask a store clerk or get recommendations from women on GAG OR bring a female friend with you when you shop :). Dressing nice shows that you care about yourself and that you can take care of yourself.
COLOGNE
A lot of men I know don't seem know that cologne even exists! The way you smell is just as important as the way you dress. If you are having trouble with women, I suggest you invest in some cologne. Go to a cologne store at the mall and get some recommendations.
Here is what I usually wear:
Curve Crush (I GET A TON of compliments with this one): https://www.amazon.com/Curve-Liz-Claiborne-Cologne-Ounces/dp/B000C1VZMY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436032860&sr=8-1&keywords=curve+crush
QUICK NOTE:
As an additional bonus... to spice up my confidence with women and to get them more touchy feely while we talk, I also wear pheremones (you can only get these online... read the reviews):
COMMUNICATION
Despite having the looks, the success and the smarts... you will still fail with women if you cannot communicate well! At the end of the day, looks can get you in with a woman... but if you bore her and cannot communicate with her, she will forget about you. This has happened to me countless times (and still happens at times). In order to improve your communication skills and to figure out what women really want, here are some books I recoomend you read:
BOOKS ON UNDERSTANDING WOMEN/COMMUICATION:
How to Succeed with Women: https://www.amazon.com/How-Succeed-Women-Revised-Updated/dp/0735204357/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1436033462&sr=1-1&keywords=how+to+succeed+with+women

NOTE: These two guys are pretty good, especially for beginners! They also have podcast stations on iTunes. Their podcasts have been pretty useful! I suggest listening to their podcasts in the car when you are on your way to a place to meet women.
IN CLOSING:
Again... I am not a wizard with women... and I sometimes drift in and out of online dating, masturbating too much, watching porn. Those are just wastes of time, and I am getting my focus back on approaching women in real life and trying my luck again.
This information I have given may not help you, but it has certainly helped me, and if you are feeling hopeles with women or feel like you will never get anywhere, just test and listen to everything I am saying.
In my life, I feel like I am pretty good with women now. The only hard thing for me is the approach. After studying all of this material, I am able to get dates, but the approach is always the challenge. With some women you will be able to charm them. With other women, you will fail. Dating/sex is a numbers game. If you play your cards right and talk to a lot of women, you will get somewhere.
