The reasons for suffering are desire, passion, ardour, pursuit of wealth and prestige, striving for fame and popularity, or in short: craving and clinging.

Much of Buddhism feeds directly into being an alpha male, other than the no-sex part. Freedom from outcomes, rightness in intention, speech, frame, and interaction.

What do I do if I hate myself?

Totally true. I just let lose this weekend. I recalibrated my expectations, and just let go. I was having some issues with this one girl I really like, and she wasn't that into me, blah blah blah. I came here, read about how to fix it, and it actually fucking worked. Also, I decided I wanted to test the waters out with this other girl at work, so I asked if she wanted to join my buddies and I for a beer after work. I followed the rules, and wouldn't you know, it worked again. I can have a date with her whenever I want.

Thanks again, Seddit. This is what boss mode feels like.

Buddhism is great for approach anxiety.

This is great advice. Basically, find your own life. Find out who you are as a person. Have your own beliefs and ideas. Then you will find that women like you even more because you are secure with who you are as a man.

Thanks. I needed this. I tend to be incredibly hard on myself when it comes to seduction and if I fail to approach or if i fuck up with girls. This feeling alone is a downward spiral and makes you not want to go out. AKA I obsess over seduction and it is not healthy.

The quote is not just mis-attributed, but has so little do do with Buddhism as to be completely antithetical to every school of Buddhist thought.

Not true... love and affection require earning. If anything, this is what the community teaches you. Whether you're deserving is entirely up to you.
