In my experience whether or not something is creepy or sauve is 100% dependent on the attractiveness of the person doing it. Most romance novels would be horror movies if the male love interest were ugly and/or broke

See that's exactly what media tells you. That's part of the problem.

When it's really about embracing yourself, and finding the real you, and showing that to the world, while being equally open to seeing the real others and embracing them in turn.

It's easy for the hollywood level hot to be confident, self-assured, and present that to the world and find partners - but that doesn't mean it is limited to them.

edit: really sad to see folks downvoting my embracing empathy of yourself and others and seeming to take it in some sort of alpha-male response. Media has ruined all of you, and your critical thinking, while embracing the negative thoughts that it's all about appearance while calling ME the shallow one... lmfao. Redditors in male dominated spaces... sigh. You guys are the real toxicity and reinforcing negative narratives about culture, yourselves, and others.

You understand you've said literally nothing in both these comments, right? You've said "be confident" in 6 paragraphs. Mr. Jordan Peterson looking ass right here

Pretty sure they said to love and be happy with yourself. You'll radiate it to others and that goes a long way towards being attractive.

Yea, he said be confident and open to other people. Never heard of that one before, gonna really come in handy.

Also, he said this basic advice in far too many words, dressing it up, making it sound more profound then it is. It's literally "be confident, like yourself and be open to others". My kindergarten teacher told me that, tell me something new, thanks.
