Easier said than done. I grew up dirt poor and supported myself for the last 21 years. It's effected the way I operate my life. I've tried to not be as rational and just take it as it comes, but it's very difficult.
Do it slowly. Take baby steps towards that end.
Take down those mental barriers you're put up to protect yourself.
Trust in your ability to bounce back when you're been hurt.
It's one of the reasons why when a lady wants me to pay for everything I get very frustrated and just leave. No arguments, no fighting. I just say you got the wrong dude and later. I do not think any man should have to pay for everything for a ladies company. I have no problem with paying for drinks, dinner (after we fvck) or an event, but I draw the line in paying for everything. It makes me feel like I'm a chump and being taken advantage of.
I seriously pay for everything on a date. In fact I will insist and would take offence when a woman insists to pay her part.
This is not about her but it's about me and my manhood. It's my standard and that sets my reputation.
Plenty of women have taken advantage of my generosity at 1st but as time passes by they come to realise it's not about me trying to buy my way into their panties.
It's far from it and then when they finally get it, they can't help but admire me.
And when that happens, every single one of those women "pays" me back far more then a mere dinner or drinks would cost.
And it's not just with women, it's with everyone I come into contact with during dinner or drinks.
The payback is diverse - a genuine smile, a genuine offer to pay for the next date which I will decline, an opening of their hearts towards me etc. The list is endless in my favor.
How could I possibly be a chump when I end up a winner ?
Do you see the difference in
how we think, that influences
how we do things and the different
results we both get ?
But this is just the start. There's lots more social hurdles you need to overcome.
Take baby steps forward until you're learn to walk.
Do this and then report back.
I will assist you with how to communicate - handle women's wants and needs
after you're done what I've mentioned.
