  1. I have settled in on what I perceive my mission to be and have started defining my life in terms of that mission. I have been doing this all along to an extent, and to that extent I have been successful with women (and in life), but today I am pursuing my mission with pride, purpose, and a renewed sense of vision. The friendship and love I want are results of this pursuit, not the other way around.

    For every young man here, if you have not started absorbing the ideas of Rollo Tomassi, Richard Cooper, and Corey Wayne I suggest you do. YouTube and audio books make absorbing their ideas incredibly easy. Had I started acting at 27 the way I am now learning to act at 37 I would not be working through suicidal thoughts and a non-descript but all pervasive anger. It will be difficult at first, because you wont want to admit to yourself how many lies you have allowed yourself to believe.

    Pornography makes it impossible to see the relationship between the actions you take in relationship to women and the results you get. It short circuits the feedback loop that has evolved to help you learn from your mistakes. Why learn from your failures when you can clone feelings of success so easily? Experience is a painful teacher, but it is the only teacher. With the right guidance you can minimize the pain and maximize the learn.

    It's not your fault that the culture you live in isn't doing you any favors, or that the parents you were born to didn't provide for you what you needed. We are all running the same firmware. It's the same firmware our ancestors ran and it will be the firmware used by our progeny. The better you understand that firmware, the less the details of your starting point will matter.

    Culture cannot override biology, only harness and direct its energy. Harness and direct your biology towards a purpose you care about and be the best at it. Not only will you find yourself in the company of women that want you and make friends worthy of the title, you will have a new found understand of what happiness and freedom really are.

  2. I feel like at least the latter part of this post goes beyond just dating during a reboot, particularly the part about culture and biology. The other day I saw an article with the premise that culture is more important than biology, but of course that depends on the culture. The subtitle of the classic Technopoly by renowned media theorist Neil Postman is "The Surrender of Culture to Technology" - that really says it all. Come to think of it that's actually true either way: Culture as it exists may be more or less influential but the lack of culture or culture that doesn't encourage human potential (to say the least) is certainly also important. And needless to say we need enough people on the same page to build a new culture.
