Can you become virtually invisible to men by being too open?



Since the inception of No Man Land... Jelly and I have learned that being open is not only the key to meeting new people but also the solution to creating positive change in our lives.

The past few months I have been so open and made so many new friends - both girls and guys, but mostly guys. I actively seek out ways to be more open-minded to new ideas, activities and people. This has all been great and somewhat liberating.

But...Where has this gotten me? I have lots of people to talk to, hang out with, and have connected with people that I would previously have never given the time of day to. But sometimes I end up feeling invisible. I am giving so much energy to being open and the people on the opposite end make me feel invisible. Lately, no on asks about me... tries to get to know me better... or acknowledges all that I do for them. All of a sudden I feel like I'm just the nice girl... maybe I don't have enough game or mystery anymore? Can being too open take away some of the chase and make you virtually invisible?

there's a difference to being open and being really friendly. people who are super nice, friendly, and cary on a conversation with almost anyone some times tend to be pretty bland and generic... that's why everyone likes them, there's nothing to dislike! but that doesn't necessarily mean that people easily love the generic type.

try to infuse your open minded approach with a gooooood dose of personality and you'll be much better off.
