Just gotta keep it weird but not creepy weird.
For those unsure. Often the difference is the displayed confidence. If you're showing embarrassment or are unsure, it quickly becomes creepy. If you own it with confidence, then it projects "screw the norms, I'm good enough to ignore them", which is attractive to a lot of women.
The confidence doesn't have to be real either. The difference between fake and real is entirely in your own head. No-one can tell, unless you let them.
Often the difference
That often is an important distinction here. I've definitely had people very confidently creep me the fuck out with their weird bullshit. Honestly sometimes it makes it so much worse.
or it drifts into arrogance, then you're attracting an entirely different type of person
True, however, while arrogance requires a lot of confidence, confidence doesn't need to be arrogant. The best bet is to laugh at yourself, not put others down. It's far from simple, and you can get it wrong at times, but it's far better than being unconfident in yourself, while doing something weird.
Ahhhh, that's where I went wrong.
I was Shrek for Halloween and suddenly got a lot more attention so maybe I should be Shrek all the time?
Thats just common sense, dude.
Girls like a guy with layers.
Once picked a guy up at the bar by drawing him Nigel Thornberry on a napkin. Weird shit starts a conversation at least
What's the dating app controversy?
You're not supposed to go up to penguins in the antarctic. It's prohibited.
But you can do something goofy until they get curious and come over to see what's up.
This is the dating version of that.
My tactic is to just approach women with interesting but niche facts until one offers to peg me.
Can confirm this approach works
Getfiscal still creating controversy on the internet since ~2009.
