Too many men stumble and bumble around, choking on their words when they encounter a beautiful woman. They act like fools or worse, idiots, when they come across a woman they find attractive.

The truth is most beautiful women date men who are not as attractive to them anyway. No woman wants to date a guy who is better looking than they are. That’s why you see gorgeous women with so-so guys.

So the first thing to do is to not place a beautiful woman on a pedestal. One way to do this is to instantly compare her to you dream woman in the media. So for instance, if Scarlett Johansson is your dream girl, you would say she is a 10. When you meet a new woman, use that scale to determine where she falls. If you find a woman who truly is a 10 compared to your dream woman, then don’t pass on the chance to talk to her. But odds are you will release most beautiful women are 7s or 8s. That makes it easier to speak to them.

In addition, remember that beauty is more than skin deep.

The most physically attractive woman can instantly become ugly if she is cruel or idiotic. Your goal when approaching a beautiful woman is to see what she is like and whether she lives up to your standards.

Have a mental checklist in your head of other traits (besides physical attractiveness) that you look for in a girl. When you do find a beautiful woman remember that she might not have all of the qualities you are looking for, but you are going to take the time to talk to her to find out. Because maybe she does and then you can ask her out. But if you go into the situation realizing that this woman is beautiful but not perfect and possibly not even close to right for you, it will take away some of your anxiety and you can act more natural and relaxed, which is always a better bet.

The more natural and calm you are, the better chance you have of showing this woman what you are really like so if she does have all those qualities you are looking for, you have a great chance of hooking up.
