Am I here posting this thread to tell you all about how I have the secret to being happy and that I live that secret every day? No. My life isn't perfect. I have troubles of my own in my marriage, like right now trying to get the wife back into giving blow jobs. Funny how for so many women this is one thing a lot of them stop doing when they get comfortable. It's a process though and will take time. Frankly I'm thinking of just going up to her one day while she's sitting down and tell her my d!ck isn't gonna suck itself and to get busy.
Anyway, the point of my post here...I've noticed some guys recently getting exhausted by all this stuff, red pill practices and such. Stop and ask yourself something: why do you do this? Let's take for example a young guy who just took the first red pill and is pretty bland looks wise. Almost 100% of the time I've noticed that guys (not just on this forum, ANY red pill forum) will tell this dude to start lifting.
There's nothing wrong with lifting and women will notice the results. But here's the crux of the matter, why do you lift in the first place? Is it TRULY for you, or is it to get women to notice you? Be real...practically every guy if asked this question will say it's because they're trying to improve themselves. Many men still do it for the women. You're exhausted by all the women you see on a steady rotation? Then you aren't being true to yourself. If you started lifting it wasn't because you wanted to improve yourself 100%; some percent of that was because you wanted more attention from women.
Hell I recently took a 2 month break from lifting because I sustained a rotator cuff injury which I think was caused by overhead presses. It was killing me for the first couple weeks to not be able to lift heavy...of course my idea of lifting heavy and yours is likely very different. But I should have continued doing other exercises right? Sure, anyone can, but I didn't. I had too much other $hit going on with work and the family anyway. During this time I dealt with a lot of home improvement projects...I always enjoy this type of work and I like planning out how to tackle a task, figuring what materials I'll need and seeing the project completed. This is an example of something I really love doing. I also love working on cars and my bike, so anything mechanical.
My career is the typical white collar guy driving a desk, but I grew up in a pretty much 99% blue collar small town and that was a lot of the work I did when I was in my teens. I still enjoy some aspects of that type of work. I managed to get my contractors license though recently for various hvac and electrical work. Now wtf do I need this for? It's not even related to my career. True, but I like learning about that stuff and damn near every instance of work in that field is a different problem to be solved. Never come across anything that's the same and I like learning about it.
That sort of thing doesn't involve lifting, doesn't involve day game, doesn't involve crafty ways of messaging women for online dating...how is any of this related, especially here on SS? Is not SS and red pill theory dedicated to self-improvement? Oh, but so many equate an effort made into oneself on one end must necessarily translate into better results with women on the opposite end. We all know that men come to these forums because they want to get better with women, and several members here on SS have tried to really get through to people time and again that all of this is a process about improving YOU.
You have to lose this mentality that lingers in the back of your mind (and I know it does because I've been there myself and it does still happen to me on occasion...notice the blow job problem I mentioned?) that if you do X, then the resulting Y with women will increase to better chances with them. You are not being true to yourself. You need to find out what will make you happy in life. There are a lot of people that simply don't know.
