Confidence Trick

Pseudoscience of love - ConfidenceNice guys usually suffer from a lack of confidence, as discussed in the post on pub/club dating. This results in many a frustrating night out on the town, where the nice guy usually hasn't the cojones to make a move, seal the deal, pull the trigger (you get the picture!).

Without doubt, the most important (and noticeable) attribute of any successful womaniser is self-confidence. Women can sense confidence (or lack of same) in a man like a dog can sense fear. The graph above shows how a man's success rate with the ladies is proportional to his self-confidence. You're as well off staying at home and using the Internet to meet chicks if you are lacking in this department. Unfortunately, confidence if something that you can't really fake - it seeps out from your every pore and forms an aura that women are very sensitive to. If you go out projecting the wrong vibes, you may as well hold up a sign saying "loser" or have it tattooed on your forehead. There is more chance of Brangelina's natural kid being ugly than you scoring in a pub/club!

So, if you want to avoid the dreaded "let's be friends" line, some urgent remedial action is needed. You could try the "I am the man" trick - repeat it to yourself 500-1000 times a day while looking in the mirror (cheap option). Alternatively, you could seek help from a hypnotist/therapist /guru (expensive option) or sign up for one of those dating/makeover shows on TV! In any event, it is vital that you start to believe in yourself before others will.

Brangelina is, of course, the happy union of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It's fair to say that both have their fair share of admirers.

Tony Minero (on the graph) is the uber-confident character played by John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever"!!
