What should I do if pain, or the possibility of pain, due to simple effort as well as failure, is discouraging to me?

What if I want to change who I am instead of just pretending to be someone else? Personally, I don't want to have to bother with keeping up appearances, with having to spend time and effort maintaining a facade or remembering which personality I used with which girl. My character flaws go...

I guess I'm using the term wrong. I was thinking of anything that's not a green light to escalate things, from "Get lost, loser" rejection to a girl who's playing the game too well for her own good, and isn't responding warmly, if at all, to you. Why is it only the manipulators or the sluts...

As far as I'm concerned, it's her job to keep my interest up and to make me want to play the game with her. If she couldn't make approaching and seducing enjoyable, then I wouldn't give her a second thought. After all, if I have to compete with her vibrator, then she has to compete with my...

So if women only sh!t test in order to find out if a guy a real man or just a good actor then why does sh!t testing work so well as a means of killing off a guy's interest in her? Even if you're man enough to not be wounded emotionally by her sh!t testing, it still seems like you'd lose...

"A little incentive" is exactly what a keyboard jockey doesn't have; that's what some of us are here to fix. If we had incentive, then we'd be out every night trying and failing until we got it right, like normal AFCs, instead of sitting at our computers unmoved by either internal or external...

An AFC can know that a Don Juan is made, because it's true. But whenever he takes a long hard look at himself, inside and outside, he can't help but feel that they're born, and that he isn't one of them.

Is it true that the more powerful you are, the more she'll challenge you? Is it true that as a man's pride, accomplishments, and independence increase, the more and harder the women in his life, and the rest of the world for that matter, will try to stop him? Women may be the weaker sex...

The Nature vs. Nurture debate has been going on for centuries. Genes can determine personality traits, either directly through the structure and behavior of the brain, or indirectly through things like looks and athletic prowess. On the other hand, socialization is an important factor as...

"Follow your gut" is good advice, A-Unit ... under normal circumstances. I disagree with you because, based on what I see in my own life, my gut is satisfied by nothing more than junk food, TV, masturbation, and sleep, since these are the only things that I do not have to force myself to do...

The only thing that I can think of is to be REALLY good at it. For example, I like what I'm good at and will do it often, and I dislike what I'm bad at and will avoid doing it whenever possible. This avoidance obviously leads to the perpetuation of the badness, as well as creating a man...

How well is passion supposed to be able to handle the necessary grind? Is it possible to be passionate about something, to have it mean enough to you that you want to pursue it, but when you actually do pursue it, the difficulty and tedium tend to overpower your passion? What does it mean...

You have to care about the outcome. I know this goes against everything we are all supposed to believe here, but if you don't care about the outcome, then you won't be driven to achieve that outcome. Getting rich, working out, getting laid, or anything else, has to mean something to you or...

This mentality is the beating heart of masculinity itself; everything else is superficial details. This mentality, and nothing else, is what separates the alphas from the AFCs; alphas believe it and live it and AFCs do not. Unfortunately, unlike yourself, because the AFC lacks this...

Virtually all AFCs don't have the mentality required to put themselves through what is necessary to build muscle. If you were tough enough to go as far as you claim to then you weren't as much of an AFC as you seem to think.

The test was dead on for me. http://www.colorgenics.com/sps/results.cfm?d=1&colors=70162354&name=&email=

Love, hate, and fear are all two-way streets; it's not so much what they are as what you do with them that makes the differences in your life. Love can be a powerful motivating force, but it can also be a prison. It is a powerful ally, as it can fuel you even in the midst of your most...

It's hard to not be bored when you're a homebody couch-potato loser. Boredom and dissatisfaction are such constant companions that you genuinely don't believe that anything could be exciting or pleasurable. However, I don't believe that such a person makes themself live that kind of life...

Another price to pay for a better life. Perfectionism is death. R.I.P Virtú :rolleyes:

Envy is natural, perhaps even inevitable, and it's not reserved for celebrities alone. Whenever someone encounters a person who can has something they do not, who can do something they cannot, who is something they are not, the lesser person will feel envy. I feel envy all the time, and...
