Hey man welcome to the forum!

You should find some people to go out with in LA and meet women with.
The thing with women is they want someone who is dominant and assertive but this doesn't have to mean you need to be a dick. The good thing is it's not down to genetics and how you look, you can make some changes but don't expect a quick fix. Many expect to find the perfect opener or it all to click straight away. You will have ups and downs but you have made the first step by seeking to do something about it.
