I'm a bit late, but even for us guys who are above average in the looks department, it doesn't come as easy as you think it does.
The only reason I consider myself above average is because of the fact that I've been called attractive and was crushed on since elementary. Lost my virginity at 14 and had many sexual affairs. I often sexed girls who were in the same social groups at school.
I'm now in my 20's and have girls throwing themselves at me, right? WRONG.
The attention I was so used to getting from the girls in my age range, dissipated. They were no longer free to give up sex or even a compliment as they once were.
Damn, did my looks change? Was I no longer appealing as I once was? (This was the self dialogue going on in my mind..)
So, what the fuck happened? Quite simply, THE MATRIX happened. Power struggles, etc etc began.
For a deal of time, I really thought the problem was ME. That was until I paid attention to older women's attitude towards me. Then, my confidence was at ease. They still found me as attractive, even more so then the ones my age. They get all wide-eyed and school-girl like in my presence. I'm sure you've heard about it on this forum.
My advice to you, pay attention to older women. Not saying you have to fuck them, but I'll bet they find you appealing and will let you know it. The women your age probably find you attractive but due to ego and other circumstances, they'll be very subtle. Almost too subtle.
Peace.
I went through exactly the same thing. At college I had girls
all over me, no concept of subtleness. As I moved in the big, wide world my peers were less interested generally speaking, but their place was taken by Women from a higher age range. Now in my later 20's, all the girls I wanted to be with back in the day are looking to me, only to find themselves behind the younger competition in the pecking order. It's happening right before my eyes, and marquee value sure is a bitch for them
