I've never yet quite overcome the terror of approaching women in the street - I've done it, but rarely - but to gain the confidence to do that would, I know, improve my life in other areas as well.

I still hold that a guy who has something interesting to say - and who can 'demonstrate value', as they say - is going to win a good deal more than a guy who's just good looking.

Recall the point Style himself once made - to demonstrate true value to the opposite sex, you must find that of value within yourself and make as much of yourself in your life as you can. Be, as Bill and Ted might say, excellent: not only to others, but also to yourself. When you're genuinely the most interesting guy in the room, you have higher value than those who are better looking than you. If I have one advantage, it's that I'm proud and confident of what I've achieved in terms of my working life. I'm far from rich, but I'm extremely fulfilled.

There is, after all, a reason why so many college professors get seduced by their female students.
