I gained experience and figured out a thing or two. Positive social interaction and relationship(s) helped build my confidence. I stopped caring about the perceptions of others and began to focus on what I myself truly want, not on what others want.
What I want is a more traditional life. One fine loyal lady in my life gives me all the fulfillment I desire both physically as well as emotionally. I don't need to bang a different chick every night in meaningless shallow encounters just to feel better about myself. I don't need to damage my eardrums and my liver in parties with too much booze and too loud music. I've been there, done that. In my teens it had appeal but it has since lost it's appeal. I realized what I want most in life is to create something, to build something. A stable and lasting relationship, a large and growing family. And someone to grow old with.
Looks fade. Personalities persevere. When I am old I don't want to have a list of conquests and some sexy memories being the only legacy I leave to this world upon my departure from it. Instead I want to be surrounded by people I love and with whom I have meaningful, personal and warm relationships. Instead of desiring a shallow and materialistic life like the ones my peers live, I wish to live a life more along the lines of the one my grandparents lived. Love, stability, family, morals. And plenty of fun on the side!
I know want is something the PUA lifestyle cannot offer me. They can have their whores and their bragging, their tall tales and STDs. I have no use for them. I found what I wanted abroad, and that's where my future is.
Why is it so f-ing hard for so many American men to imagine what life would be like as an adult?
