MISTAKE #9: THEY ALWAYS NEED TO BE THE EXPERT
Have you ever met a smart guy who always needed to be "right"?
Have you ever met someone who would actually argue with you about something they knew nothing about... and make a fool of themselves because they just couldn't shut their "smart mouths"?
Over the last few years helping guys improve their success with women, I see this one pattern over and over again...
Smart guys don't like to be "beginners" at anything.
They don't like the idea of screwing up... especially if others are watching.
They want to maintain this "smart guy" image of themselves... so they try to always be "The Expert" at whatever they do.
Instead of saying, "Hey, you know what? I'm a beginner at this... how do I do it? What should I do first? What next?"... and instead of being totally OK with screwing up, making mistakes, and making a fool of themselves in front of others in order to learn...nn...they won't risk embarrassment, failure, or others thinking that they're beginners... so they wind up ultimately failing.
More news just in: It's OK to be a beginner.
MISTAKE #10: THEY CAN'T DEAL WITH FEAR AND OTHER EMOTIONS
A smart guy's strength is his mind.
His weakness is often his emotions.
Smart guys are often immobilized by fear.
Totally stopped.
Frozen.
And since many smart guys aren't comfortable dealing with things they're not good at, they just repress or run away from fear.
Many men would rather die in lonely isolation than admit that they don't know how to deal with their emotions... or, God forbid, ask for help!
Hey, I went for years like this.
I know what it's like.
But the reality is that any guy can learn to handle and even master his emotions (even fear)... if he just takes the time and effort to learn how to do it.
If this is you, then do yourself a big favor... take the time. Take the effort.
Don't worry about what anyone else thinks of you... it doesn't matter.
What matters is you doing the things that you need to do for you.
