I think most people don't like being called out, when the word "you" is used it becomes personal. But I like the message.The College Jock said:
I find myself not wanting to take risks in many areas of life, not just with women. I've always felt like slow'n steady wins the race, but I've recently come to realize that slow'n steady doesn't win the race, that there are ups and downs that have to be dealt with. You take a huge step forward, then a huge step back, not all the way back, you still improve, but it takes two wild swings to get incremental improvement.
In my experience with women, which isn't a whole lot, I remember the negative interactions more than the positive ones, because I don't have a large enough base of experience to know what works, and what doesn't. So it is hard for me to say screw it and move on the to the next one. But it is the opposite in things I have experience with, I find it easy to forget my mistakes because I know I am worthy, I have a lot of experience being successful.
I've been thinking of times that I took action recently, rode the roller coaster of emotions/results, and ended up improving my life; graduating from college, moving out for the first time, and finding a new job. Each one came with their own set of challenges, but I met them head on, and succeeded.
