I think it's because men are usually less equipped to feel their emotions. The less you feel the sadness of the break up the more time it'll take you to heal.

This just reads as an Elliot Hulse blogpost, lol.

Meeting new girls will also quench your thirst. It's most likely over for good with that person

Bro @joeyi99, I watched your approach video and it's honestly very solid. That's what pickup looks like. Although this woman will most likely not follow-up this was a pretty decent approach. You just need to do a lot more of them. What matters now is that you immerse yourself into approach and summon the power of volume. Keep studying attraction and ruthlessly implement what you learn in your approaches. I believe in you brother.

I like your mindset. Be optimistic and take action. With the conviction that arises from your optimism you can take action that will ultimately give you better results that mere theory. Keep it up my friend

Leo's ultimate advice is to use this as an opportunity for growth. His video on what to do after being broken up with is top-tier advice and you should listen to it. Don't be overly philosophical and spiritual about this issue. If you became too needy and dependent on a girl you probably obliterated her attraction for you. Chances are, it's too late with this person even if you change. You have to work on yourself and meet new people. Here's a few suggestions for action steps for you : learning about male-female attraction, healing an insecure attachment if you have one (look up attachment styles), becoming more fit, learning or honing on your life purpose, working on your relationship skills, working on your finances, finding new ways to meet people, etc. Here's Leo's video. I strongly recommend it :

Absolutely not. You might also have multiple life purpose in your life. But 28 is very young. Go get it. And if you really just now figured it, pour everything you have into it. Be smart but aggressive about it.

You are fine. Just approach women. Or don't.

Nothing about this is fascinating or is tied to self-improvement

Very interesting post. How long have you been seeing this guy for ? From what you wrote he seems like a serious person and I think he would do a responsible father for your children. What seems to be lacking here is the emotional stimulation and psychological connection between you and him.

If you read OP's post you can see his attachment to his ex is totally toxic and he shouldn't try to go back with her. She never contacts him and is cold and distant with him. This forum is about self-improvement. Returning to an ex leads to self-deterioration. So yeah, I am saying that radically despite every relationship being unique.

Going back to an ex is a mistake. Don't do it. Listen to Leo's video about break ups.

I have tinnitus, i'd say it's a 3 or 4. But the ringing makes meditation almost impossible for me so it could be a 5. I had it for 3 years. How I got it : overexposure to high decibels. My life purpose was to become a musician and listening to music was my biggest pleasure in life. I was producing music for years and also listening to a shit ton of podcasts in my headphones at all times during the day, but too loud for too many hours.

Don't get caught up in endlessly thinking about what went wrong, just accept it and move on. Go reconnect with friends and be social. Being social is one of the best things to do.

Porn isn't always just of mirror of you and your karmic content, porn can also alter your desires and make you perceive sexuality in a whole different light. There is also the concept of mimetic desire that's really important to understand, google it. Some sexual desires or fetishes will be triggered by porn and aren't just hidden in the shadow of an individual. I personally don't think porn is bad or good, it just is, like everything.

Rejection isn't part of the ''process'' per say. But in the process of getting better with girls, it is inevitable. You'll also realize at some point that is has nothing to do with you.

this is pure non-sense

Then don't be creepy. Be kind, warm and respectful. If your reputation takes a blow move cities or country if you are truly serious about pickup and dating interests you. Stop making excuses.

What kind of advice are you looking for here ?

Best advice is to be respectful. Prioritize your growth but stay respectful especially during cold approach. Be direct but well-mannered and avoid conflict and you'll be fine.

The most important principle is desire. If you desire to get laid or get in a relationship you'll make it happen, the rest doesn't matter.

If my phone is in my hand the moment i get a text from a girl i'll usually respond right away to see if she mirrors it, many will. Otherwise just mirror her texting pattern or stop giving a fuck about it altogether

Yeah maybe that would make more sense! Only you know
