Overall. Getting women as a man is entirely too much work.

This narrative is not entirely new nor is not all that original for PPD. Does it have no place to be said or does it have very little value though? In my opinion... The term has a lot of value because I think it rings true with most male experiences.

I'll give a little bit of anecdotal for myself and reply it back to other men. I'm not some guy who is opposed to put it in work when it comes to getting women. I am very lazy but I am willing to put forward some effort because sometimes I feel like I won't be able to get any success unless I put the work in... Because that's actually what my reality reflects.

But oh my God I cannot stand this year amount of jumping through flaming hoops just to get a woman to like me. Not date me, not going to date with me, not go out with me, not getting any relationship with me, not getting sex with me, etc. I'm talking purely in terms of getting them to like me.

I have to be everything that a woman wants in that very moment. I have to make her laugh, I have to make her feel comfortable, I have to make her feel heard, I have to make her feel special, I have to make her feel like she's not another number, etc.

Now when I hear men talk about their experiences that don't just reflect back on my own. I hear a lot of guys just simply can't get women to consistently like them. They are not even in a relationship, they are not even trying to make a case for whether or not the woman makes a good fit, they are simply having trouble getting their foot in the door.

For anybody who are video game is out there it feels like I'm doing a perpetual grinding motion and Tony hawk. For those who don't know the game mechanics you basically balance on the title to make sure you don't fall off every time you pull off a grind. But the game is not designed for you to grind all day So eventually the longer you grind the harder it is to balance.

Now I get it if you want high results you're going to have to put it into work. But the problem is guys put in a extremely high amount of effort to get very moderate to below average results.
