When it comes to dating, women have made it clear, they are not willing to settle for the average guy anymore. They want someone interesting, hard-working, ambitious, etc. I mean, I can’t say it’s a bad thing. We just have to step our game up a bit.

In life, we have to learn how to adapt and this is no different.

Online dating has made it easier for women to separate men into 2 categories. There is the ”he might have a chance” category and the “no chance in hell category.”

If women are going to be pickier in choosing men, then we are going to have to change some things or end up left out with the rest of the average guys.

Now, there are many ways to not be average. All it takes is a little effort.

You don’t have to be tall and look like a model or have a bank account as big as Elon Musk to have success with women. Just put in work that others are not willing to do and you will find yourself miles ahead of the competition.

Remember, you should be doing this for yourself, not just to get women.

Here are 3 ways to be better than the average guy:

  1. Put effort into your online profile

This is a simple but important step that many guys fail to accomplish. If you have a profile on a dating app or seek to gain attention from women on social media, put some effort into your profile.

It’s the first and sometimes only impression you get to make.

Men have to realize that the women who get all the likes on these sites, do so because they put effort into it. They take recent, high-quality photos. Not selfies from a trip you took 5 years ago.

They also put on nice clothes, wear makeup, and then write a thoughtful bio.

Average guys spend little to no time, writing whatever comes to mind on their profile and are not taking professional-looking photos.

If dating and meeting quality women are important to you, spend some extra time and money to create the best profile you can. This will automatically make you more attractive than the average guy.

2. Be Interesting

Some of you might be asking, “how do I do this?”

The only way to become an interesting person is to do interesting things. You should be reading books for growth, taking trips, volunteering, studying a new trade, exercising, making new friends, etc.

Interesting people do not makeup stories for entertainment, they talk about their lives and things that they are doing.

If you believe your life is boring, women are probably going to see it the same way. Average guys live boring lives. They tend to go to work/school, maybe go to the gym, hang with their friends at home or the bar on weekends and that’s it.

Becoming an interesting person who seeks to live life to the fullest will present you with opportunities that go well beyond dating.

3. Be Original

Whether you are dating online, or out in the real world, originality will give you a leg up on the average guy.

Instead of commenting on her looks, mention how much you enjoy her positive energy. Instead of recommending meeting at the bar or going for dinner and a movie, you can suggest a walk in the park and then a picnic.

Try not to engage in the same conversations as every other guy when you’re out with a woman. You don’t have to get all philosophical on her but maybe talk about your purpose in life and how you have grown in the past year.

Tell her about your struggles and what you did to overcome them.

That will help you sound much more genuine and authentic than the average guy who only wants to talk about his past failed relationships and where he works.

Conclusion

Women are tired of men using the same pick-up lines and giving the same half-ass efforts to get their attention. It’s time to take a different approach or you will find yourself with little to no success with dating.

The time has come to change your mindset and be willing to do what the average guy won’t do.

Follow these simple steps and not only will you attract more women, but you will see how outworking the average guy will get you further in life.
