Does it help to brag about myself a little when talking to women?
As far as like building yourself up and bragging when you first meet a woman, or singing your own praises, I definitely would say that you should probably avoid that. The one thing in my experience and especially watching all the dates on Blind Date, the thing that really attracts women is when a guy is passionate about something. When a guy is passionate about something it doesn't matter if he's really successful. If you're an incredible poet and you're passionate about it women will pick up on that, so you don't have to have a lot of money. You don't have to be incredibly successful in what you're doing as long as you're really driven and passionate by it. Women really see this and they're attracted by it. So I don't think you really have to talk yourself up, brag or say how much money you make or what kind of car you drive, I think that's all real clichés. Definitely there are women that are attracted to that, hence the City banker who only really cares how much money you make. But these aren't women you really want to end up with anyway so you should definitely avoid bragging.
