Ever notice that strangers seem like they’re living a perfect life? If you aren't subhuman, people see you that way as well.
The problem is that "perfect" people are intimidating, and that blocks the connection.

To fix this, you can break the perfect persona using the: :D

Pratfall Effect: :ogre:
sharing a minor flaw of yours to show you’re human and break the ''perfect persona''

Example: (excuse the retard reaction to it)


In this example Tina is already looking human and broke her ''perfect persona'' by crying 😢- Mikey Starts the conversation by using Pratfall: telling her about the restaurant he works at has an exploding toilet -> he admits his job is shitty breaking his perfect persona, This levels the playing field, now hes not intimidating anymore and they can share a connection now :love:
(Warning -> in this example he lists like 5 things going wrong cause hes trying to level to her playing field (shes crying and you have to overcompensate for that) )

Also If you share something personal or "low-status" (like a broken toilet or a bad day), the other person feels a subconscious urge to match that level of honesty. It fast-tracks a conversation from small talk to the opportunity for a real connection.:eek:

when using this irl only do it with slight funny flaws that are relatable and only use it on people you seem to intimidate like girls etc.
Pratfall is perfect for high dimo intimidating looking people

Studying charismatic characters is huge in improving social skills and nobody ever talks about it :unsure:

Good luck lowering your inhib :)

You can study charisma all you want, but the only thing which will truly help you is being more social and talking to people. It's like reading a book on how to play the piano, when you play unless you've actually practiced you can't play. Get a social job such as a waiter or a waitress. Exposure therapy is the best way.

Thats why you only state relateable minor flaws

not ''im an incel''

but ''i missed the bus today''
or whatever the fuck

point is you can break the ice by breaking your intimidation factor

mmmmmh
but tbh you're only going to be intimidating to girls if you're attractive enough
weird how attractive men are less approachable
 
mmmmmh

Even being ugly youre intimidating

the girl thinks ''is he gonna do something weird'' yadayadayada

you say ''you wanna know something, i cant hurry for shit, i missed the bus this morning just because i didn't feel like being in a hurry'' or whatever the fuck

and now youre not a molester but a retard who cant make the bus in time

weird how attractive men are less approachable
attractive = higher stakes to talk to = more anxiety = more intimidating

When you say less approachable can you clarify what you mean? Women place themselves in orbit around you. Far more strategic about approaching than what a man is.
