You are not a picture on the cover of a magazine, you are a real person.
⠀
The problem is that many women are afraid of their own imperfection and always try to live up to false expectations of how they should be in order for someone to like them.
⠀
This shows up in relationships with the opposite sex as well.⠀
You are the best cook, an attentive listener, and an interesting conversationalist. And when it comes to intimacy, that's the least you can do. Sharon Stone is a nervous wreck.
⠀
But do you have to pretend to be someone else?
⠀
When a woman wants to give a good impression and doesn't behave like her real self, the man will either notice it and be disappointed, or the relationship will end up in a theater. The man is not afraid to be a good friend of her, but it's a known fact that performances end after the second or the third act.
⠀
So the only true choice is to be who you are.
To do this, it's worth learning to love and accept yourself, and to have a healthy self-esteem. This is much more important than being perfect.
It's much more enjoyable to do what you want to do and not be afraid of the ☺⠀⠀ consequences.

Do you accept yourself the way you are?
