Even the most giga Chad looking Brad Pitt or Henry Cavill archetype will turn women away from approaching them if the guy either appears to be uncomfortable in his own skin or creepy, weird or overly shy in his behavior.
Yes, as we all know women primarily desire and want only hot Chadly guys, but what our kind tends to forget about women is that they do also want to feel safe with a guy, as well feel that he is confident and normal acting, ie NT with zero sketchy behavior.
Well mentalcel’s like Elliot ooze all of these off putting unattractive qualities, which ruins any potential, their Chad good looks might of provided them, were they only normal and NT.
The only exceptions to the above general rules about women are female drug or alcohol addicts and psychopaths as they’ll place themselves in harm’s way all day with sketchy guys and people in general just to get another fix and be around others that are like themselves as they are sketchy too.
Anyway though yeah women are natural experts at sensing body language and if a guy is acting overly shy and stand offish like Elliot probably came across as, even if she’s attracted to his looks she’s going to say to herself: “Oh gee that guy is cute but unfortunately he doesn’t seem interested in talking with anyone, so I better leave him alone.”
