Some people have a low threshold for feeling like a success. I'll bet this guy was one of them.

Successful by who's standards? His or yours? Personally, I feel much better if I had at least 10K sitting in the bank because I don't have to worry about emergencies as much. You on the other hand might be different; maybe you don't need thousands of dollars sitting in a bank to feel happy...

That's what I was saying earlier, but I called it emotional vitality. Becoming successful increases one's emotional vitality, which may or may not mean gaining in status or money.

Women want a successful man whom they are compatible with. How you define success depends on who you are. Some guys are into the grind and like to make a lot of money, they don't do it for women, they do it because that's how they defined success. Other guys want to be star in their...

It's mostly in your head. I'm almost 40 and I don't feel like I'm too old.

Okay, good. Why are you desperate for validation from other people?

If I were 19, first and foremost I'd be focused on myself, getting a career started, taking care of my health, etc. For women, do what makes you happy in the long term, fun should be a focus, and respect is the most important thing to get from women. So like I said, it's all about respect...

Sex should not be in your daily focus. There's more constructive things you could be doing with the energy you claim to have. Also I'm reading an apparent lack of self respect. My advice is to pay attention to both your thought process and your emotional process and start writing a journal daily.

This shows a lack of emotional intelligence, and the only way to get better at this is experience. The key concept here is respect, and also your partner shouldn't consume too much of your focus either.

I see all of these traits as inseparable; there's no separation of mind and body. Game, looks, money, social status, etc. all go together. People achieve their success differently however, so some people look good, some make more money than how they look, etc. but one thing affects the other.

Overall it sounds like you have an issue with emotional vitality. This graph might help your clarification.

Let me clarify this a bit more. Justice, rationality, independence, and productiveness are virtues. Rationality is the prime virtue, without it there is no independence, productivity, justice, or any other virtue. So if you want to say that justice is a masculine trait (really it's a human...

You cannot separate justice from independence, productivity, etc. These are not just masculine traits, but traits of a conscious being.

I like to play volleyball. I'm terrible at it, but I like to do it. I suppose I can call myself a volleyball player.

Why do you think that is?

Why would you? Is sex that important?

That depends on how you define game. If game is only about what you do (including what you say) after meeting her, than yes you are correct. If you define game in part to mean how you carry yourself, dress, etc., then having good game makes the difference.

What's a civvie? And wouldn't it be better to have a girlfriend that you didn't have to pay for sex?
