I think when we were young, television really messed up our minds and gave us this unrealistic expectation of what a relationship is, and when we went out in real life, we found out that they are nothing like what we expected.
One thing I think most of us are finding it hard to find when dealing with women is peace of mind, because you always get the impression that most of the women we are dealing with are stockpiling options and are privy to leave at any moment. The reality is that many women simply have numerous options and they end up rotating them. You will know this when there are certain days that you can never access her because she is 'busy.'
Enjoy the company of women, but do not make them a serious fixture in your life, because as soon as she leaves, all the benefits she brought leaves with her. The only way a woman is a serious fixture in your life is if SHE makes herself one. For me, that means she believes in Jesus, she's extremely loyal, she holds me down, she has morals, we can have conversations about more than typical things, etc.
What I found is that I cannot ever force a woman to do something. I can't change her inherent nature. Either she is or she isn't. Either she wants to be around or she doesn't. A lot of guys mess up trying to force women who aren't feeling them into dealing with them. Dealing with cold women will simply result in a waste of time.
Past that, a man needs to focus on his MISSION, not women. The right woman is the one that understands your mission and helps you accomplish it. Your mission is NOT to catch some particular woman. You, as a man, are a leader, and you are always doing something and you INVITE the right woman in your life to participate you and aid you in your ventures. She is not the leader, you are. Men need to seek inner stability without women BEFORE seriously dealing with them.
Women do NOT make you a man, and if you depend on them to make you one, you're going to be mentally unbalanced, because how quickly they can leave you. The more you have things together though, the more women will simply want to deal with you, but it will be up to you to filter them and find the one that is truly honest about being with you and helping you complete your mission.
