Orion Taraban’s stuff works.

Mark Manson is the McDonald’s of self help. His advice is so dumbed down with false dichotomies and simplified logic that it is almost useless but he is smart and he knows what the audience wants. That is by the way the secret to get rich which is not to feed pearls to pigs.

That is so true, she will see what kind of white night you are, jump on your horse, and the two of you will ride towards the sunset, happily ever after.

Women teach you to love the process instead of the result. That is probably also the cure to get rid of your depression and at the same time the solution to get girls. If you just talk to them to have fun in the process things will work itself out. This also counts for life in general. Just have fun and enjoy the process. It is not an intellectual thing. And it is not easy.

@Rishabh R why did you get angry though

Because vulnerability/weakness is not always good. This part is never stated which is important to state. Whatever you do it depends where it comes from. If it comes from power it is good. But some champion vulnerabiltiy as the end all be all of relationships. So that is probably why you are failing with dating.

So sad but predictable.

That is the problem with such authors. They only tell you half truths which is worse than a falsehood. Vulnerability is only power/sexy if it comes from strength. If it comes from weakness it is not powerful at all. It is the pre/trans falacy. That is why 90% of those tier 1 authors are garbage. Not so long ago I made a thread how power and sex are related but nobody responded to it although it was gold. Too complicated I guess.

@LordFall so how much do you make per month right now

My focus is myself too. Though I'm not that materialistic as you. Just having 1 family with a semi sane girl is more than enough for me. Just raising one child is already very stressful and sacrifcial for our health. No way I'm sacrifcing my health to spawn 10 brats in the age of AI.

It is true that women have high expectations compared to the past but they are not offering more compared to the past. If I have to go to hell and back to become the top 10% of men to get a top shelf hot girl, I'm not settling down. I will play the field as the alpha guys are doing. This development will cause a demographic crises though.

People run into trouble with getting a partner because they load too much meaning and expectation onto a relationship and end up alone. There are not even that many guys with great wisdom around me. So me expecting that from a girl is just not realistic. It is like expecting a chick with a dick. It is not natural. I prefer natural. There are girls with great wisdom but they suffered a lot. Great wisdom comes with great suffering but that comes with a mixbag of emotional baggage and such. That is not my thing.

I could have told you this 6 months ago and you wouldn't have listened. So you just had to experience this and you will keep experiecing this. The only way out is if you start dating a much much older lady.

Amazing world class guy isn’t he

We have to switch back to boomer jokes so we are understood.
