@Felix Urbanek all the above and I have a mentor I met through MOA who is older than me and has had his fair share of experiences with women. He and I talk about female nature quite often and I even tell him about the girls I’m dealing with at the moment he points out certain things I’m missing or blind spots

@Felix Urbanek Yeah I’m very fortunate that my mentor has been able to help me with multiple aspects, not just dating. Yeah of course. I’m currently doing a bulk at the moment.

@Bryan Cook I’ll take a stab at this. I think it’s a multifaceted approach, probably would need to start with the your physique. It’s not faking if you’ve lifted the weights to get in shape. Excellent in your chosen career and you’ll gain confidence from accomplishments. Go on side quests and have experiences that will give your perspective and additional skills in your tool belt. Not just being able to change a tire or drive stick but hey learn how to ride a motorcycle, boxing, get a pilots license, travel, etc. And then last but not least you establish boundaries with the people on your life. Men and women. I don’t believe in “faking it”. You build it brick by brick. You just have to accept it’s gonna take a while.

@Bryan Cook I see what you’re saying. I mean, I don’t really “wear” the bad boy look. I wear what I like to wear while also educating myself on what’s good men’s fashion. I do copy the basics and when I master that I start to do my own thing. Same thing we do here at MOA. If what I wear conforms to the bad boy look then so be it 🤷🏾‍♂️. And where all the things that I listed come into play is when I actually do get a motorcycle license and ride regularly then I would get a motorcycle jacket - it’s just a tad bit more congruent if that makes sense. I joke about getting tattoos and often girls ask me if I have tattoos because I “act” like someone who they think would have tattoos. But I probably wouldn’t get one because I just know too much what tattoo ink does to your skin lol. So it wouldn’t be “authentic” Guess where I’m going with this is being a bad boy is more than just a look and clothes only enhance the man wearing them but the man is bad boy because he carries himself a certain way. And how you carry yourself can come from a number of things but it’s usually from experience

Haters gonna hate man, but the funny thing is more you ignore people who hate you the more they become obsessed with you. If your biggest critics actually didn’t care about you, they wouldn’t be your biggest critics.

Making sure my clothes fit right was the biggest hack. Then you can show off all that progress in the gym without posting a douchey shirtless selfie

So I think about preselction pictures as a spectrum. You can be very overt or subtle. Depending on your goals it affects how along that spectrum you should be. For a lot of the guys who do what Michael does or similar, that level of pre selection works great and the kind of preselection pictures of bikini competitions and Babes and Toyland fits their brand. But if you’re say a lawyer or a doctor you maybe want to err on the side of being subtle or if you’re taking pictures with women it’s at private charity events or galas The picture you’re showing is the overt level 100. Sure it’s breaking rapport but unless you’re like a model that does that kind of photography regularly I don’t see how that helps you. What are your goals? What’s your profession? These things matter when asking yourself what pictures you want to put up on your grid.

@Joel Mounts Then there you go. You got to tailor the preselection pictures to your goals. So maybe for you pictures with female friends in gowns and dresses at a gala or private convention might be more your speed for being an in marketing. Or like you got a pickle ball group with your female friends going and maybe you get some pictures there
