What do men want vs what do men need?
I want a woman with whom I wear no masks. I want a woman who gives me peace.
Pause for 1 second before replying to people. In that one second, focus on one thing you want to improve - eye contact, be more interesting, be funnier, speak louder, etc.
Use that pause also to think about what you really think, not just what you think they want to hear.
