Wow, a reply from THE Mr. DeAngelo himself, how impressive! =-) I jest, but really R-L-R, take his advice to heart...it works. Intelligent men are often at a disadvantage simply because they are always self-analyzing, asking themselves "Do I need to act different, look a certain way, be a certain person...am I funny, am I charming, am I kind without coming off as weak?"...all these questions are the bane to our existence!
Try this...it's something DD actually taught me himself. Think of ALL your male friends and pick one or two who are the best with women. DO NOT pick guys based on their stories (these guys are posers, who think that all their 'locker room talk' makes them look cool and successful with women, when they are usually more likely to still be virgins!), but pick those whom you have PERSONALLY seen be successful. This doesn't necessarily mean that the guy 'gets laid' all the time, it means that he is confident and nonchalant about his interactions with women, and in turn, the women have a positive reaction to him.
Once you've figured out which bro to watch, go out with him to a club, bar, gallery, event, concert, WHATEVER. DON"T make this a science experiment dude, that's just creepy...just plan a night where you'll be out in public. As the night progresses, be CONSCIOUS of your friend's behavior's and mannerisms as he interacts with the women you meet throughout the evening (don't take notes, dork, just pay attention)...how does he talk (slow and low, loud and fast, tone of voice), how does he stand or sit (note posture), what kind of gestures does he make as he talks, what does his body language convey, how engaged does he get into conversation, how much eye contact does he make, etc. Then, compare all of these things to how YOU interact with the lovelier gender...DO you make eye contact? EVER? Or do you stare at the ground, or dart your eyes around? Is your voice clear and confident? How about your posture...slouched or straight? You're a smart guy, you know how to do a comparison....hell, consider it like performing a SWOT analysis that compares your social proclivities to his.
If you do this right, you're going to notice something...you'll see that just by becoming AWARE of these things, you'll slowly introduce them into your social skillset. I kid you not dude, it's like magic.
Please understand something though...this technique will help you gain confidence in yourself, and will improve your intial contact with women. But if you're looking to 'just get laid', well...good luck....THAT's relatively easy to do and doesn't require this kind of introspection and effort. I'm only making these suggestions if you're looking to have meaningful experiences with women...fun, relaxed times that may, if you play your cards right, lead to something more physical...but that should NEVER be your goal, it should just be icing on the cake. (having a great evening, no matter how it ends, should be your endgame...in case you need a reminder)
Keep your head up, you're money and deep down you know it...now just let your inner 'game' out!
