Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to another edition of Based Zeus, today we’re going to be talking
about confidence and - oh shit wait, this is Based Zeus.
Fuck all that, no intro.
Let’s just get right to business.
Tip #1 Be calm and collected, not aggressive and in your face.
Think about James Bond… is he ever in your face and aggressive about how awesome he is?
Of course not.
That basically ruins all the coolness behind it.
You don’t see James Bond swinging his dick around and trying to out-alpha everybody,
do you?
No, he’s too busy doing important shit that matters.
On a deeper level, these loud and aggressive outcries for attention show insecurity more
than anything.
Being able to be internally and externally calm, collected, and unreactive is not easy.
Life can be stressful.
Most people get worked up over nonsense like their food taking too long at the drive thru,
or somebody accidentally bumping into them.
Somebody who’s content and happy with their own life will feel secure and confident enough
to be calm and relaxed in almost every situation.
And that’s admirable and attractive.
The overaggressive types are usually using their aggression to let out their repressed
emotions from some other place in their life.
Guys like this will start fights with other people when they feel “disrespected” and
other dumb stuff like that.
Like sheesh bro, just go to the bathroom and rub one out really fast, maybe that will get
some of those pent up emotions out haha.
Being able to have a calm, laid back nature will speak way louder than any other words
or actions could.
And that subtlety is what makes girls go crazy for you, and makes guys around you, respect
you way more.
Remember: Confidence in your own actions and decisions without needing approval from others
is the ultimate goal here.
Not showing everybody how confident you can pretend to be.
When it comes to dating, and confidence, the most important person you need to convince
to like you, is yourself.
Tip #2 Don’t talk more than necessary.
A lot of people think that the most confident and badass guy in the room is the person who’s
always the center of attention and always knows the right thing to say.
But in my experience, the people who tend to talk the most and feel the need to be the
center of attention 24/7, are the people who aren’t comfortable with themselves and need
the constant attention for social validation.
Don’t say more than what’s necessary because when you do, you’re most likely doing it
to win people over instead of actually being confident in what you say and do.
Tip #3 Don’t engage in pissing contests
You know the type of guy who always feels the need to one up you or say that what they’re
doing is better than you and everyone else?
Yeah don’t even entertain that shit.
If you’re in a situation and you see someone start to do that, you can 1) totally ignore
it to show that you’re not impressed by their nonsense and 2) smile, nod, then carry
the conversation in another direction.
Ignoring it is good because you’re closing out their feedback loop.
By simply not acknowledging it, you’re showing the person that behavior like that isn’t
rewarded or cared for in your social setting or group of friends.
This makes them less likely to do this around you and your group.
The worst thing you can do is reward the behavior by saying how cool it is because then you’re
opening the flood gates for them to conversationally piss all over you!
I advise against calling them out on what they’re doing because it will make them
more insecure than they already are.
They’re more likely to get defensive than to have a sudden change of heart…
How many times do you call someone out in a group setting and they turn and go “you
know man, you’re absolutely right..
I was wrong about it this whole time!
From now on, I’m gonna be different!”
Yea OK… good luck with that shit.
Besides if you were truly confident and secure in yourself, you wouldn’t feel the need
to argue with someone who’s clearly insecure and in need of some self love.
You’d see it for what it is, and do your best to not contribute to it without causing
any problems.
On a similar note, here’s the bonus tip:
Bonus tip: Don’t put other people down.
Putting other people down is not only a douchey thing to do but it’s also a major sign of
weakness and insecurity.
I’ve never met a truly secure, laid back dude who feels the need to put other people
down or make them feel bad about themselves.
What that really shows is that in order to make yourself look the best you have to actively
put others down.
You should be so confident with yourself and who you are that other people and their accomplishments
are something to be praised for, not belittled.
Besides at the end of the day, if you’re not a god like me, you’re all mothafucking
mortal anyways so in the end none of this shit will matter!
The real winner at the end of the day is always gonna be me, Based Muthafuckin’ Zeus!
