A harsh realization in the dating world

Alright let me tell you guys how this works. I'm not going to sit here and tell you why I'm qualified to relay this information. I'm not going to sit here and make clams about how experienced I am with seducing women, or how easy it is to get pussy or some cliche shit like that. But what I am going to do is be honest with you. Brutally honest, at that.

You're this one individual, right? You have things you like, and things you don't. That's common, and flexing those interests to conform to whatever bullshit standard you've convinced yourself to meet in order to get a girl to like you is a waste of your time and hers.

Girls like what they like, and we don't get to change that. But, what we can do is make an attempt to change their frame of reference. If they see us differently, in a more masculine light, there's a chance they could develop interests in us.

All these girls you're all complaining about have a frame of reference that they see you through. Their mind is already made up about you. They think one of two things: I could be romantically involved with this guys, or I don't feel a romantic interest in this guy. To be pretty brutally honest with you, you're wasting your time trying to change their mind about you. Unless you're experienced and really know what you're doing, you're going to have a hell of a time trying to convince them otherwise. Trust me, it's not easy.

But, there's a simple solution. It may not be convenient, and you will undoubtedly have to go out of your way to make an effort to accomplish this next step, and it may even suck a lot to have to endure. Trust me though. You're going to need to leave your house and talk to girls. This isn't something you can do just sitting at home. You need to go out. Find an excuse.

The easiest way to get out of these ruts all of you are describing: one where you like a girl, she doesn't like you, and you blame all other guys for being more attractive than you, is to just plain meet new people. Only then can you make steps towards finding people that you can attract.

This whole be yourself thing girls always say is cliche. They don't want guys to simply "be themselves." They want guys to be strong, but willing to emote. They want guys that are smart enough to know when to follow, but also be able to lead. They need guys that are available, but also ones that aren't too available. They want guys that are familiar with and comfortable around women, but not too many, because that means competition. They want a guy that can protect them, and take advantage of them. They want a guy that takes risks, but also one that knows his own weaknesses/strengths.

We've been plagued by an illusion. Media has given us the perception that perfection is attainable and easy to find. But that's nonsense. Don't "lower your standards to be with someone." Know your worth. But, don't go looking for perfection, as it's a fruitless pursuit.

You want to get that girl? Man the fuck up, Son.
