The Top Pickup Artist Forum On The Internet: Fast Seduction 101

I can't even remember the last time I originated a post but I've recognized a
very real sticking point in my overall game. There is one habitual flaw in my
body language that I can't seem to shake. In fact, I've only recently become
aware of it and can't believe how chronic it is.

I recently came across a very good post by BadBoy on Thundercat's Seduction
Lair that gave a solid breakdown of subcommunication. One of the key points he
emphasized was to not look down at the floor or your feet and instead to focus
on the horizon and keep your eyes at that level or higher. That is spot on
because averting your gaze downward implies submission. Suddenly I realized
that I am CONSTANTLY looking down for a brief second and looking back up when
I'm in a social setting. We're talking 2-3 times a minute, especially when I'm
in a situation where I'm not engaged in a set and I'm waiting on something (in
line for the toilets, ordering a drink, etc.). It's driving me absolutely
insane now that I'm aware of it.

The rest of my BL is congruent with my confident and outgoing personality. I
take up lots of space, lean back, hold eye contact and so on. Yet I feel like I
need a cattle prod attached to my balls to shock me every time I look down
because it seems so reflexive as if I can't control it. A nervous tic perhaps.

Anyone have any suggestions or advice how to stop being so shifty? I was shy
and repressed for many years and I feel like this looking down nonsense is the
last leftover from those days and it does NOT want to let go. How did you guys
unlearn your worst bad body language habit? Excepting cattle prods of course.
That wouldn't be practical.
