Lowering your physical standards for women

I read it's very common for inexperienced guys like myself to be too picky about women. I want to ask about Chase's old article "Lower your standards (and date hotter girls)." I love the idea in theory and it seems to make sense.

I tried in the past to hook up with girls that i wasn't that attracted to physically. They weren't ugly, these girls were cute but their bodies when they took off their clothes just weren't that attractive to me and I couldn't get it up during physical escalation. It's just not a good experience for anyone.

I don't want to be too picky but I don't know how to change this mental model. Of course, this is also causing a long dry spell and it's fucking up my confidence.
I know the obvious solution would be to approach hotter girls but (surprise, surprise) I also have crippling approach anxiety and that's a separate problem that I need to work on.

Does anyone have experience with lowering their standards? Any advice (except Viagra and similar solutions) would be appreciated!

Dont lower your standards. Just realize what they are. Sex and desire are feeling things, not just looks or other stuff. You FEEL who u want. If needed just close your eyes and feel where u wanna go. The hottest chick can be a mediocre 6 sexwise if she isnt what you are attracted to and a 6 can be a 10 if she's just your type. Don't let your mind deceive you into thinking that the looks determine the arousal.

Depends on your goals and personality.


My personal experience is that by lowering my standards, I got lot of practice talking to women that also helped me when I was with really hot women cuz i ended up.realising that women are women and they all have a desire to get to know a man who make them feel things...they have never felt.

And lot of reference points for me as well.

To me it's just practice.
