How to become “That Guy”?

This is the ABSOLUTELY the wrong place to ask this question, but I have downtime, meaning I can’t ask anyone else except y’all on OTF rn.

So…

Can’t exactly use the term “alpha male” anymore as it’s scientifically incorrect, but luckily, I’ve found a new term!

As a dorky kid who suffers from ASD (and is almost always bullied), it’s very hard to make people like me and to appear dominant or strong or even a good leader. I understand how to get the body of “That Guy”, I’m just really stuck on the personality side of things.

An example of a “That Guy” personality would be Bryton (Player 432) from Netflix’s Squid Game Challenge. He has an aura that many can’t seem to match. He’s attractive, manipulative, dominant, and extremely confident in everything he does, and i ADORE THAT PERSONALITY!!! And I would die to change my personality to match his, because no matter how much skincare I put on, or how many push ups I do a day, no one will take me seriously (and no one still does) if I’m still the weird kid with “no personality”.

And anyways, girls fall in love for people like that. I mean, when’s the last time you saw an ugly, shy and passive kid get all the girls THAT WASN’T IN ANY SORT OF MEDIA (Rom-Coms, Reality Shows, etc.) because those are CLEARLY staged in some way.

So please tell me, how do I become like Bryson, a confident, dominant, and highly attractive person? Thanks!

PS. I don’t want any of that “iT’s aLriGhT tO bE yOuRseLf” crap please it just makes me cringe a ton 😬

Likability has little to do with Elo on some chess site

You're thinking about this all wrong. Being popular isn't about exercise, skincare, how defined your abs are, and all of that. If I were to give you one piece of advice, I'd just tell you to be more social and talk to more people. The simple truth is that being willing to meet new people and connect with others is a good first step to becoming "The guy".

This isn't a movie where women are drooling over the captain of the football team. Stop worrying about how muscular you are, how clear your skin is, and things like that. You just have to be willing to put your personality out there instead of keeping to yourself.

Nope, literally one mention of my elo and people already think I’m smart. It’s incredible.

Becoming "that guy" isnt all about skincare and pushups.

Sure, they're not BAD to have, but they're not the defenition of that. The very first thing is confidence, increased self-esteem. You gotta be confident in yourself, in your own body. Thats the first step. You dont have to be all muscular and attractive. Just walk confidently, know that attractiveness isnt everything, just be confident overall, and people will notice that confidence. also, be nice to people, help them out, just interact with them, and people will notice. Oh, and dont judge yourself. I used to want to be perfect, and very pretty. I was pretty back then, I just wanted to be MORE pretty. Then, I realized that being attractive isnt everything. I started to like my looks more, i started to be confident, i started to smile more, and it really helped me.

i hope this helps you too..

It’s really easy, actually. I focused on economic development to increase my wealth. I expanded my walls to make room for more merchants, and constructed roads to ensure easier travel!

:0, I'm getting so much power just by following these instructions!
