Just put up a wall!

Hello there, slight change of topic today but one that links in closely with my theme.

Yesterday I was having a conversation at work with 4 colleagues and we were reminiscing about last Friday night. We had a work function and all got pretty drunk. Me being my somewhat fearless self saw two attractive women sitting chatting and decided to approach and start a conversation and I got blown out pretty quick,. No big deal and no harm done. Their loss ;-). Anyway, so my colleague says how embarrassing I was and how I shouldn't have spoken to the girls because I was punching above my weight. HA! How rude!

These kinds of reactions always make me laugh because there always from a place of envy or an attempt to make someone feel significant by putting one down in front of others.

More concerning though is that he felt that average looking guys (like me) shouldn't approach hot girls because there "out of their league". What a load of ball!

Confidence is one of the most attractive traits a man can possess and more important than looks any day. My point is this, and it may seem extreme, but how can male confidence flourish if people like my colleague are creating limits for others and suggesting that they shouldn't approach a woman out of fear of embarrassment. What a sad way to live. Life is about getting out of your comfort zone and doing the things that scare the shit out of you. That's what living is!!

Anyhow, sadly this particular colleague goes about putting up barriers across his life, and sadly he's not alone.

Next time you see a friend or colleague make a daring move e.g approaching a girl or guy, encourage that person and show your admiration. And when others act in envy just remember why they're doing it and smile because we're all capable of anything and embarrassment is nothing!!
