Getting attention from opposite gender

This topic was created in the Personal Development forum by virgowithasoul on Sunday, August 14, 2016 and has 6 replies.
I haven't had the best luck with women, and my partner and close female friends say I appear intimidating. Whether I like it or not, the lack of active interest from women is a little saddening. I know I am attached but it wouldn't hurt to be an eye candy and enjoy the positive attention. On some days it gets demoralising from the lack of attention on the streets. Especially the days when I used to be single.


What are the tips to appear less intimidating and more personable? I get told often that my independence makes me look unattainable (not my words).
yes it looks bad and i enjoy the occasional marking from my partner when she spies someone checking me out. It's a major turn on. Don't get me wrong, I'm still deeply in love with my partner and would give up anything to be with her but sometimes it gets to the point of being treated as invisible on the streets. women would bump into me when i'm right in front of them.


and yes, I admit that I would like some attention on the streets. It is a confidence booster. All i've got are rapey stares from gays and it gets really sad when a straight man receives attention from gays instead.

There's guys and girls that get no attention based on looks but make up for it in conversation or personality.


I know negative signs like Virgo are really self conscious. Just be chill and don't worry about them looking at you. Its probably all in your mind.


I mean some people are really good looking and one cant help but glance but thats about it.


Some say makeover/adjustments but aside from basic hygiene idk


Gays have standards too lol theyre just more open about who they like. Whereas some women are uptight AF and live in a soap opera world


ADVICE dont go into a soap opera mindset



yea thank you for the encouragement. It used to be fine until the day I look at them to at least indicate that they look good they turn away so offended like I'm some creep. My brain then goes "WTF?!"


The funniest part in my aesthetic life was when I was teaching little kids music and my ex-boss would jokingly say that I should only teach the little princesses because they have a crush on me -_-


I feel like a pedophile when my ex-boss says that.
