While I appreciate the value of acquiring a more refined, sophisticated understanding of such a major part of human life that is mating, all of this just seems to make me angry and sad.

How do I avoid TRP theory "knowledge" from making me bitter and suffering and instead, channel these ideas into improving myself?

Bonus question, if I may: What's your view on seeking to pick-up women as a way to help you deal with the emotional trauma of being dumped by a former girlfriend? Hooking up seems to help men feel better about a break up, but isn't this just more approval seeking?

Thank you very much.
