Ok, cool. That is what I thought.
But it is always good to get verification of my thoughts.

I guess the main portion of advice I can offer as being a girl who's sick of all that hyped up crap is PLEASE BE YOURSELF!!! Omg, I can't stress that enough! Nothing irritates me more than a person that tries to be more than they actually are to impress a girl! It is quite personally the stupidest thing you could so (unless the girl you're going after likes that crap, then she's an idiot). Originally is better than seeing difference variations of the same act.

Wait...so are you suggesting that guys who are usually timid and don't do anything shouldnt go Out and Above? (For example showing up randomly and giving you flowers when it is not typical of their nature?)

If it was his thought, it is purely him. He's not trying to be someone other than who he is. He's not being fake by that kind of gesture.

I think that there can be an acceptable delineation between attempting to have a totally different personality for someone, and having a totally different personality due to someone... if that makes any sense.

I think just presumptiously wandering up to a girl and asking for her number is quite cringeworthy and I can understand that it might freak out the girl, or make her think you're only interested in her for the most superficial reasons. And women don't necessarily dress "sexy" to please men. They might do it to feel good about themselves. I think any guy who knew that he was an object of lust for a variety of ladies would feel flattered at the very least, and I don't see why it would be any different for women; it doesn't mean they'll put out at the drop of a hat though. When i'm going out I like to make sure that I look and smell nice because it gives me a bit of a confidence boost and it's nice to get checked out. I am one of these former "shy guys" who has grown up and so I still find that kind of interest from women both novel and enjoyable. If a woman came up to me and asked for my number without getting to know me though, i'd think she was a little dense/shallow.

No no, that's not what I was suggesting. I meant about being cocky and arrogant.
