Hey all, I'm new here. I'm 21, 5'11'', and fairly confident. I'm attractive enough to at least pull and hold conversation, as well as generally being someone that is comfortable to be around, but I'd like to get better at it. I constantly feel out of my element, but I know and keep the basics in mind at all times--body language, keeping a smile, tone of voice, always having a few interestintg stories/things to talk about, letting the other speak, etc. I feel like my technique can use some polishing though, and I want to improve my social skills overall--not just for the sake of picking up women, but even making friends or deflecting shallow/rude people that inevitably come along in the process. Links to guides and whatnot are welcome too. I'm ready to learn!
