Easy to say when you win the genetic lottery.
I absolutely did not win the genetic lottery. On a very good day I might be a 4. I also have a confusing to me amount of romantic success. Like, dating multiple people, and this having been the case for years, successful. It's not about winning the lottery, it's about cultivating yourself as a person, and being open to opportunities.
Then cultivate the idea, that the other person is also, in fact, a person and gets a ton of advances.
Especially as a man it is difficult to approach a "high league" woman, because she gets approached by tons of guys and you have to convince her somehow that you're a) not another creep and b) actually maybe worth her intention.
I'm not trying to blame women here, just keep your eyes open to what good looking women have to endure in some circumstances. That's horrible. And blocking many advances by default is kind of self defense.
