You just hit it on the head, brother.

TRUST ME when I say, at least 75% of this battle isn't over looks, it's over self confidence. I'm overweight, but I tend to be very confident in myself and that is what carries the day.

My friend, who sounds like an older version of you (at least the mountain biking and skiing) is a very handsome guy, but he has loads of trouble dating. 3 guesses why and the first 2 don't count.

Here's the secret I use. PRETEND you're confident. PRETEND you're a super friendly great guy. If you do this long enough, pretty soon you'll believe it.
