Need Her Approval?

Today we’re going to look at a paradox in confidence.

There are certain type of guys who are confident in nearly every area. Their career is in great shape, they’re disciplined with their health, maybe even with their friends and family.

However, when it comes to women, especially women they’re attracted to, they completely fall apart.

All bravery is gone, integrity falls down, no confidence. So, why is it that they’ve got it in other areas, but not this one specific area?

That’s the question we’re going to try and answer today.

Some Nice Guys are afraid of everyone’s rejection. They’re afraid of everybody not approving of them. But others, it’s only one specific type of person that bothers them, and it’s usually an attractive woman and usually their actual partner.

Today we’re going to figure out why that confidence doesn’t cross over from the other areas of their life into this one which is one of the most important for them.

Do you hide your preferences with your partner or woman you’re attracted to if you’re worried that they won’t have the same preferences?
