Take responsibility. Remove the illusion that stuff “happens” to you or that women want a certain thing you don’t have. Try everything you can to improve yourself and your approach. Find a guide to show you the path.

I don’t know.

I struggle too sometimes. Maybe not with bitterness specifically, but the difficulty and mediocrity of it all. Not just women but the trajectory of life itself, for which I think women are a kind of barometer for how well you’re doing.

Some people choose music to help channel their pain. That certainly helps me.

You should read the Wikipedia article of how the Bon Iver album was made. I think a lot of people could relate to it.

“Whilst living in Raleigh, North Carolina, Vernon fell ill with mononucleosis and a liver infection, and grew frustrated with his songwriting and life.

He worked at a local sandwich shop that he felt took too much time from him.

Vernon, then 25, felt his life had spiraled into mediocrity, as though he had lost the sense of purpose he had a half-decade prior.

He sensed he had compromised with bandmates and in his personal life.

His depression was fueled by indifference, and he decided to get away from Raleigh and return to his hometown.

He broke-up with his then-girlfriend, Christy Smith, and tossed his recording equipment into the trunk of his car. He drove home to Eau Claire over eighteen hours through the night.

He first stopped at his parents' home while they were out. He sat on their couch and felt "claustrophobic" and "super-empty." He returned to the road, in search of silence and hoping to be alone.

"I would work for 14 hours a day and start to feel a little insane," he later commented.”

While stories of the "cabin" would become oft-repeated and mythologized, Vernon never viewed it that way: "It's sort of odd to look back and see it as magical, because it felt like a lonely few months at the cabin, where I plugged in the laptop and fucked around."
