As I've always been a nerd as a kid, no girls wanted me in the past. I used to be the ugliest guy in the room and all chicks ignored me.
Just like many guys out there, that gave me a burning desire to improve myself and become valuable.
I started lifting like mad and kept doing that for 4 years. Not only that, I also stopped all the cheap dopamine habits and added some new good ones.
Here's the problem:
When I found out TRP almost 2 years ago, I truly started believing that to be high SMV you have to look like a fitness model and be a millionaire. That brought me to perfectionism and constant depression.
A few weeks ago I started looking at reality objectively. Looking the people around me with extreme rationality and clarity. Well, I struggled finding jacked guys with lots of money. The Chad kind of guy everyone here talks about. I always knew that you have to be in the 20% to get laid, and I always thought that that 20% meant a number much smaller than 20. Actually I realised 20% meant 1 person out of 5.
I look around and see PLENTY of guys playing Clash Of Clans and eating Oreo's at fucking 20 years old (I'm 20 too, btw).
And I also see guys uglier than me, and also skinny, getting laid more than me.
There must be something wrong here. - I told myself.
And I was so afraid not to be of enough value in the SMP.
My world of beliefs just fell down.
I stopped being a perfectionist. I started going out and approaching chicks and noticed they were receptive already.
Maybe I don't need to look like Jeff Seid and be Dan Bilzerian to get laid?
I realised that the only reason I wasn't getting laid was my lack of action. I believed that a great physique would have got me women without approaching. Honestly, that never happened. From my experience women will never approach you (if not in 1% cases). I was enough already in the SMP.
I realised that once I actually started approaching women, it was easier than I ever believed.
Now that I understood that getting women is more about having a strong frame and mindset than anything else, I kind of lost that driving force that was pushing me to improve myself to extreme levels.
I lost that perfectionism force.
I know it sounds mad, but I now miss the days when I was depressed as fuck, because those were the days when I was burning inside, and I used to use that intense force to improve myself.
The funny thing is that I didn't even get laid. I just started seeing how women are receptive if you only try to approach them. That's quite fucked up for me to feel like "I made it" when in reality I didn't. It's just the beginning, in reality.
How the fuck do I get back that burning desire? I feel like shit to be honest.
Plus to that, it might be that I feel like this because the last time I've been on a caloric surplus it was like on November (been cutting for a few months now and also lost strength on my lifts).
