I wrote this article. It talks about confidence and my outlook when approaching women. I think it's definitely relevant to this forum and you'll get a lot out of it.

The links aren't activating on this forum for some reason, but if you C+P it into your browser it works.

When you get to the page, look at the one that's titled "The approaches you do earn you the next girl, not the one you're actually approaching".
