Struggling with my sexual boundaries after purity culture.

Don’t sweat it, man. You gotta focus on making yourself better, stronger, and successful. Working out, traveling, improving your job and prospects- ignore the women. You do those and they’ll come to you. I was rejected over and over my Christian women and women in general in my early 20’s after college. I was a handsome man and had a few hot girlfriends in college, but after college, it was rough. John Piper’s church seemed a good direction at the time but it just added to the problems. Dm me for more about that. Eventually, I just left it all after a crazy prayer session (that should be a post). God called me (a phone call appeared out of nowhere and offered me my dream job overseas), so I left and never looked back. All those shallow Christians who’d been my friends (or so I thought) just never cared I’d left. People I lived with and devoted so much time and effort to. I worked on me- got to a new country, became the man who I saw myself as (the man in my mind), and it changed the course of my life. Found new self-respect, an amazing gf (now wife), and success. When I came back to the US, one of those hot bombshells who had throughly rejected me, found out I was working overseas, had a hot gf and tried to get with me. But, I was done- no going back. She hit me up for years but I never responded. The moral is this: use this time you have to work on you. I’ve met many men overseas who found love in their 30’s, 40’s, etc. and they are strong and successful because they invested in themselves first A good way woman will understand this and want to be at your side- you’ll find you have choices. I’ll always believe in God and His way, but I don’t attend church. He will lead you- let him.
