Are you ready for this? The ultimate limiting belief in dating is "not having game". It means you believe that you as you are cannot get women. It's just like other limiting beliefs:

"if only I were taller...."
"if only I were thinner..."
"if only I were muscular..."

"if only I had game...."

It is a dumb excuse that gives you permission to continue sucking. Having said that, it is better than the other limiting beliefs like "I can't get girls because I'm short". Why? Because something can be done about it. If one persists with the idea of learning game, the idea of not having women, because of lack of knowledge, dissolves. A day comes when you no longer give a fuck about game. You only care about the woman in front of you and how you can have a good time with her, whatever that may mean to you.

I totally agree with that. A lot of what "game" comes down to is to feel like you are good enough or else you will feel like you need the permission to talk to a stranger. I can't talk about advanced stages where you might need conversation game. But this inability to be vulenerable is at least the case at the beginning where, basically, you are forced to decide whether you give up trying in light of the overwhelming evidence of rejections or take control of life. Again, it depends on whether you perceive yourself as good enough or not.

These limiting believes you talk about are all variations of "I am not good enough". The only solution I have found is to do it anyway no matter how fucked up you think you are. This helps to get rid of the negative self image. A little bit. Another additional solution is to cultivate a sense of entitlement. This requires digging deep to find out why you think you are not good enough. To fill this void of not being good enough a lot of guys must think they need to resort to game, I guess. I have found that it's much healthier to get to the core of why you think you will never be good enough to do what you want. Reading no more Mr. Nice Guy can help to cultivate a healthier sense of entitlement. The same holds true for investing in your lifestyle and yourself.
