Approach Anxiety and the HB10

Some of us have worked on our "Game" enough that we can approach good looking women, but stall out and crash when we see a "10". A totally hot girl can definitely flip some switches in the old Lizard Brain, causing you to revert to AFC (Average Frustrated Chump) status in a hurry.

Here's one approach that might work in such a situation. The idea is to be honest about the fact that you're a little nervous to talk to this woman. But there's a catch. You're going to use that as a way to demonstrate higher value. How? Here's one scenario:

You see "HB10" walking your way, or standing next to you at party, or whatever. You can feel the old anxiety come up, but you force yourself to approach and say . . .

You: Oh god, I can't even talk to you
HB10: Why not?
You: I get too nervous around women I like. It's too bad too, because you seem really friendly. But now I'll never get to meet you.
HB10: Why do you get so nervous around women?
You: I'm scared you'll find out I'm a millionaire and then just marry me for my money instead of my personality. (or some other joke that does NOT lower your value. Be sure to smile so she knows you're joking)

And continue the conversation from there. Don't put yourself down.

So let me break this down.
You say something that will get her interest and let her know that you're a little nervous.
But that just makes you that much cooler for breaking through your nervousness and approaching her, so it actually demonstrates that you're a cool guy and interested in her.
You also tied your interest in her to the fact that she seems "really friendly", not just her looks.

Think this through and see if you can incorporate it into those situations where you might otherwise be too nervous to approach. Sometimes, saying your nervous is the best way to get beyond that nervousness and get into a conversation.

Good luck!
