all you gotta do to get women is be yourself
unless your self ****ing sucks
then you should consider being somebody else
*bout to drop some knowledge*
On the real, I know this was meant as a joke, but it's somewhat true.
You definitely cannot get all types of a girls just by being yourself. Obviously, you have to be yourself to some degree, but it's presentation and how you approach that will determine your success with different types of women.
For example, you can be a fantastic, interesting and intelligent person but if you lack common interests or more importantly, if they have a negative predisposed feeling about one of your hobbies (for example, playing WoW), you have a next to zero percent chance without some altered presentation.
"Be yourself" works phenomenally
once you have already established a connection but girls (especially attractive/interesting ones) will be more widely sought after, have more options, and therefore be quicker to pass up on you based on something small. Again, a girl is more likely to pick a guy where she can at least share some active interest in his hobby (watching sports, hiking, playing music etc) vs something she'll have to actively compete with (WoW or pretty much any game).
Similarly, the older you get, the more prevalent your status in life becomes vs your personality. In high school and college, girls don't care so much, but getting into their 20's, women are automatically more attracted to driven, successful, affluent men, as well as men who LOOK like men (vs boys) and those that they deem will age well.
EDIT: Before someone comes in and says,"well, maybe you're just looking at the wrong kind of girl" etc if you have to come about talking to them differently: This is a legitimate objection, but the conversation seemed to be revolving around getting really attractive girls vs one that shares your interests. There are not very many girls who have an active interest in video games/tournaments, and even fewer attractive ones. Nerdy girls (appearance wise) aren't really my thing, but regardless, the ratio of guys to this type of girl is about 50:1 at best. Chances are, you'll have to look elsewhere to really meet somebody.
TL;DR Being yourself is a great stategy once you're in but presentation (approach + looks + attitude) is your foot in the door so that you can actually get around to showing them who you are. Also, dating only gets more complicated and difficult as you get older.
