[QUOTE=traxxus;38399]So the options opened to me are to bide my time and make the most of it that I can. Use the skills I have learned, and continually sharpen the saw for that hopeful day when I do see that ethereal creature.[/QUOTE]
I'm drunk, tired, and high on coke...caine that is.
But, this is the problem my friend. And, I want you to understand that what I'm saying is coming from the very depths of my mind. This is from the core of me. Being drunk, tired, and high will do that to you ;)
Re-read that sentence.
"Make the most of it that I can" - on the surface, that's strong. But, the I can part cuts of it into being insecure. You will make the most of it. Period. Nothing more to say.
"That hopeful day" - do not let Fate be the one that decides the outcome of your life my friend. She is a cruel mistress and should never be trusted to serve your best interests. As a man, that is your job. The only Fate is that which we create.
"Ethereal creature" - When you live is THIS world, why would you ever search for some thing that is not of THIS world? This makes zero sense.
Happiness comes from within my friend. When I read what you just wrote, I can only come to the conclusion that you are searching for your savior, you muse, your motivation, your purpose. Sadly, you will never find such a thing outside of the world of YOU.
If you want to find your purpose, your muse, your motivation, your savior look no further than in the mirror. When you understand that life is meant to be lived by you, for you, then and only then, will you have opened yourself to true opportunities for happiness.
Women, children, friends, foes, strangers, dogs (but not cats), and family are drawn to a person that has reached the pinnacle of personal development:
Self-actualization
"What a man can be, he must be." - Abraham Maslow
Pick-up teaches us very valuable lessons. Unfortunately, it takes engaging the outside world to understand the importance of those lessons. To understand that we are worthy of all of the things that we believe that we are worth of attaining. To understand that we have value, a purpose, a meaning to our lives.
But, at some point, you have to take those lessons with a grain of salt. Validation is important. We see it every day on the Internet, in the bars from women that pretty themselves up so that we approach them. A number close, kiss close, fuck close provide us with the same validation that women receive when a man shows them any level of romantic interest. Pick-up teaches us how to find that validation. Pick-up teaches us how to prove to OURSELVES that we are worthy of love, affection, attention, and intimacy.
The fact is that pick-up builds the base. It teaches an entire generation of men that their life is worth living.
"We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives." - Tyler Durden, Fight Club
That's us man. That's our life. But, we're fighting the good fight. We're pushing back against our culture and saying: "No!!!! I demand to be treated like the Man that I am!!! Suck it!!!"
Stay the path my friend. Fight through the bitterness. Forge that solid, steel foundation of the man you want to be, and, then, you'll never have to worry about women ever again.
It all starts with you...don't concern yourself with silly, little girls...
