This post right here isn't even about relationships. It's about your growth as a man. When you turn 18, you think you're an adult. You want to party, have fun, and experience adulthood. You want to chase women and get as much sex as possible. You want to dress fly, you want to be popular, you want to live the life. But you ever wondered why you see so many men in their 30s, 40s, and 50s washed up and struggling? It's because they didn't set up the groundwork for their future. Your 20s are for that. No matter how much of an adult you think you are at that age, you're still a child and your folks are likely to treat you as such. Your people stop giving a fukk about you around the age of 25-26. And what I mean by that is people will stop helping you if you aren't helping yourself. Use your 20s to better yourself and set yourself up for success. Go to school, get a trade, start a business, be an entrepreneur. Whatever. Just set yourself up so you won't be struggling in your 30s and 40s. Stop wasting your time chasing after women, trying to be the flyest dude out there. Design a plan for yourself and stick with it. You can't live with your mother forever. Women are not your priority. Women will come if you get your shyt together. Any successful man will tell you getting women in their 30s and 40s was 10x easier than in your 20s. A bum dude will tell you that the best times of his life was in his 20s because he spent the rest of his life struggling. Don't be that dude. Secure your future so you won't be a bum. Secure your future so you won't have to beg women for a place to sleep at every night. Secure your future so you won't have to borrow money from people just to get by. Being a man means taking control of your life and future. And that comes with discipline and making the rights decisions as a young adult.
