I met an awesome girl who was single that I really liked, and followed the classic steps (1- be attractive; 2- don’t be unattractive) correctly, and she liked me too!
I realize this sounds kind of trivial (especially since I’ve dated several attractive people in the past), but the reason it seems like an accomplishment worth bragging about was that I have never previously had a self-conception as an attractive person. I could always explain why others chose to date/sleep with me without needing to believe that I was actually attractive. But I have worked for several years on increasing my attractiveness (gym, social confidence, body language, posture, conversation skills, haircuts) and I am now starting to believe it, a little bit. Also I’m older, that probably helps too.

Not necessarily in that order.
