Listen I actually get it. I do. I use labels because how else am I going to succinctly describe someone who accomplished something? When I was young I too struggled with self esteem. I had no idea I was hot/pretty/etc. until I went to college, and then that was such a paradigm change I had to learn about social dynamics that my mentally ill mother should have taught me about growing up. I knew I was ambitious and smart and I was a tomboy so I deeply understood men. Women confused the hell out of me for a long time...and I'm a woman!! Gee thanks mom. So I had to look very hard at myself and take on the responsibility for my own well-being, and fortunately I had a gaggle of great girlfriends who steered me in the right direction and kept me out of trouble. I struggled with self esteem. I struggle with the finger prints my mother's narcissistic manner left on me. Still.I have a fantastic income. I am bright as fvck and I can converse better than most men I know. I have a huge amount of knowledge on pretty mucheverything.
All I hear is "elite athelete"......"model" all these fvcking status tags make me not want to play. Do you know how riddiculously narcissistic you make women sound? Why not put us on a fvking top trumps card?
I'm in a bad place to be fair, I don't know how high value one needs to be, I earn more than most of my friends, I am taller. I am a bit overweight, this needs to change. You aren't the best one to give examples as you are clearly a high value woman, a woman I could never get in reality, because the men you describe are leagues above me to be honest. The woman I am wanting isn't the type to snag this type of man.
I know you're trying to get me to see the light, but it pulls at the pit of my stomach as I am mildly borderline and have always struggled with self esteem issues. On the times I didn't, I went for seriously high value women who burned me HARD. I never quite got over that.
How does anyone ever KEEP a woman, seeing as a man can swoop in, there is always someone higher value? someone with more money? Is it THIS mercenary? Why dont women just become prostitutes? I dont pick the prettiest.
Trust that you'll get there and drive yourself forward. Commit to the fitness because in so doing you'll create a habit from which you will see tangible results and improvements. That alone will do you a world of good. You are smart and successful and have much to offer. What you have to offer, own it unapologetically.
Listen there is always a shinier version. The difference in keeping a woman versus not is in two things, only 2.
1. Your Leadership
2. Her Belief in YOU
Character is what keeps people together through thick and thin. Screen for character above all else (obviously you want a gal you find attractive) but make character your #1 trait to screen for and that will help a great deal.
Read up on Ray Bradbury. More to the point, read up on Mrs. Ray Bradbury. There are lots of non-famous couples with a dynamic like the Bradburys out there in the world. It's totally doable.
Cheers to you
