Man I went away for the weekend and my trip cost me nearly 1,000 and I spent nearly 500, when I tell people this they are likecrazy you went away for 4 days and spent that much?, but the point is I'm a single man no wife no kids. I had one of the best weekends of my life, I went everywhere I wanted to go, did everything I wanted to do. Talked to everyone, from taxi drivers, bus drivers, waitresses, cashiers, people on my flight. I was eating at fancy restaurants by myself, taking 50 dollar cab rides, walking the streets at 3am, up at 6am taking photos. If I was married, in a serious relationship had a girl etc. I could not be doing all this. What I'm saying is learn to ENJOY your situation. You can sit and mope, waste money on taking these transient women out on dates left and right, or you can just sit back and let the chips fall wherever they fall and enjoy LIFE!
Because honestly brehs all I can say is just live and enjoy life. I remember for a long time in my life it's like I had to have a girl, be in a relationship or be talking to a girl in the very least, if not I felt empty, like I needed this. Call it co dependency call it whatever. I'd look so hard, then always end up compromising my personality, morals, values etc. just to have someone.
Then a light switch came on and at that moment I truly found myself. I learned to love what I had and be content, happy full of joy with who I was and what I had in life. And when that happened I just stopped looking/caring/settling because there was nothing missing in my life any-more. People think that have to find your other half, but the truth is, you gotta learn how to be complete with you and only you. And once you do that.
Make developing a deeper relationship with yourself and God a priority
Have absolute, total and unshakable conviction that you deserve to find a good woman, and that you will find a good woman.
I'm going to die one day however I don't think about it all day nor does the thought rarely even cross my mind. I don't ponder about how I'm going to die, or what age it will occur because when it happens it happens and until the day I stop drawing breath I will continue to partake and enjoy this ride I call life daily. Now why not take that same viewpoint in terms of relationships/marriage and the like and stop worrying about how or when it will occur. Just know that at some point that the odds are in your favour that you will meet an individual that will be heading on the same path as you if that is your desire, however until then no need to be in an emotional see-saw just live and enjoy your life.
Something I've had to learn is to stop tying your value as a man to a woman's vagina. We sit around worrying about something that is out of our control. Is she loyal, is she this, is she that... bottom line is you will never really know what a woman is up to and you can't control what she does with her sexuality so it's really not worth sitting around worrying about what a woman is doing all day. It's best to position yourself in life to where if she does show her disloyalty, you can send her on her way and still be completely upbeat about life.
That's a big thing I have about that PUA stuff. They center their life around women, but all of these women they are dealing with, those women aren't leaving anything of value. You smash 20 sluts and 2 years later, all you have is a bunch of memories and potentially a bunch of headaches. There's nothing wrong with enjoying the company of a woman, but to focus your life around the pursuit of women is a destructive path to take.
I believe you're taking the right approach to life. You don't know what a woman will do next, so why build your life and center your happiness around what they do? You're enjoying your life and putting yourself in a position to choose which woman you let into your atmosphere, and if she can't add joy to it, she can leave. Something I've found is that we often put our happiness behind different gates. That's why I'm not overly fond of a 'goal-centered' life. So many people sit around and make their happiness conditional... I need 'this' to be happy. I need that woman to be happy. I need this amount of money to be happy. Instead of appreciating the day, they keep delaying their happiness and pushing it behind some gateway or something out of their control. This leads a person into perpetual unhappiness because once they accomplish that goal or got that woman, they go push their happiness behind another 'goal gate' or the woman does something to throw everything off. Jesus even said something along the lines of do not worry about tomorrow since today has enough worries of it's own.
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
The problem a lot of men have is they set their happiness around something they cannot control, for example, women, or put it behind some gate (such as needing to have x amount of money or such and such car). When we were kids, just sitting around and playing with rocks could make us happy. We lost our happiness due to society conditioning and society making us feel we are insufficient and need x product or such and such 'bad woman'.
I'd love that wifey for life type, but what if she never comes or she cheats 5 years into the relationship? If you built your life around that woman and made a woman your life mission, you'll be in a huge pit of depression. Why give someone else that much power over your life? Too many beautiful things in life to give your happiness over to what you cannot control or to delay it into some future date.
