Say what you will.
However last time I was truly succesful around people, not just women, I was in a state where I believed I was the funniest person ever and everyone needed to know me(going as far as getting a shirt with my own name on the back when I was meeting new people for the first time just to be safe everyone knew my name).
Yes some people hated that very mindset but it was the last time a girl showed real interest in me.
Sadly I cant get that mindset back, I was a naive teenager and I had to open up my eyes to how others saw me eventually.
Been trying to get into a similar mindset without the name on my shirt though, that was tacky
