Long story short, I spent almost all of my formative years watching anime and playing video games. I was a fat, ugly nerd who had bad hygiene and didn't groom himself. I had very few friends, and even they bullied me. About a year or so ago I decided to put all that shit behind me, started living on my own, started buying nicer clothes, started grooming myself carefully, start lifting, lost fat, gained muscle, started forcing myself to talk to girls and stuff, grew a beard and started trimming it.

I feel like I'm suddenly becoming a man and it's weird getting used to the idea that women find me desirable. Inside I still feel like that ugly nerd who couldn't wait to go home from school where I felt ostracized and alone and watch Code Geass.

I've mostly just hooked up with girls who are to put it politely, below average. And I'm ok with this, I just assumed this is what the food chain had in store for me. It's like, I either settle for the mediocre chicks who show interest in me, or just never get laid.

Now it's getting weird because I'm getting swiped right, approached and messaged by girls I used to think were way the fuck out of my league. Chicks high school me would start shaking his knees around. Now they'll message me out of nowhere like "wow I like you're beard, you're cute what's up?" and I'm like, "Holy shit this girl is actually talking to me?"

I just honestly don't know how to approach women like this without transforming into a giant mass of spaghetti and hitting the pavement in hot weather. Any tips for dating chicks who are a lot hotter than what you're used to?

And yes even though I'm "reformed" I still play games and watch anime OCCASIONALLY but not in the way I did as a youngin when it was my entire existence.
