When things don't work out for nice guys, they just try harder at doing the same.

Some people like the pain. They identify with it. It's an addiction is you break it down to the simplest terms. An endless loop of high and low. Pleasure and pain will walk hand in hand. He is his situation. This is the opposite of what being the rock is about.

All of his posts are either suicidal or he's the happiest man on earth.

Bipolar?

some dude commented "aren't you married?" and his new girl had to defend him...

Or maybe he just enjoys drama?

he treats every girl he talks to like a soul mate.

Is that just at the beginning? Does he eventually sort of hate them? If so, that's a characteristic of BPD.

...or he could be totally sane, but perpetually bored.

I think we need to be careful about feeling arrogant about having swallowed the pill. I read your post and cringe, as im sure you did. But blue pill me wouldn't have. And finding the red pill was not necessarily inevitable for me, it was chance, and I can't emphasize enough how fortunate I feel. Its impossible to understand how potent social conditioning can be. Dont get me wrong, I think biology plays a key role in explaining our actions. But a childhood and adolescence spent immersed in mainstream blue pill culture can all but extinguish alpha traits innate in us. That's not to excuse his worldview, but to understand it. He could get his heart broken again and remain beta. Many do.

He's probably got mommy issues. And a "modern girl" will instantly scan and detect that.

Initialize mommy programming, get free food. BEEEP

Sometimes you have to give a man some helpful advice.

Then again, sometimes you have to remember that the average person is rather stupid and half of them are even dumber than that.

Sounds like a poor attempt to make her jealous and feel bad. Indeed it's so obvious that it has the opposite effect.

There's no helping these losers. He will throw himself at every relationship he gets into with the fervor only a truly sad man has for relationships. Each one will end in disaster, and someday he'll be just over the moon happy to bring home a paycheck for his wife while she fucks the guy next door and tell him she's "too tired" for sex.

The simple answer: projection.

If you believe in "The One™", then you have a preconceived idea of what that person is like. They have traits that will make them the one. If you believe your goal is to find and have an escalating relationship (monogamy, living together, marriage, children, leftovers...) then everybody you date has to be, potentially, the one. The One™ has a bunch of characteristics. She loves you; she wants to have lots of great sex with only you; she has no interest in other romantic entanglements, ever; she is sweet and kind to you; she loves all the stuff you love; she will lovingly take care of you when you are ill, low-spirited, tired, etc.; she has specific ways of responding to you, which show she is IT.

Since any prospect must be a prospect for The One™, a guy in this state will project all of his "one" traits onto each prospect. They are "the best girl I've ever known", because of course, they have to be, if she's The One™. This is what is called in some circles, "oneitis".

A hilarious British show about just how awful such projection is, by beta men, is Peep Show (Netflix it). It's absolutely as painful as what OP wrote.

He lives in a dream world. He has a talent that works to get him laid. I doubt he will have a shortage of women in his lifetime unless he settles down and turns the spigot off.

Given that, he actually has abundance (in a relative sense) which is a red pill thing, as well as outcome independence, because he doesn't allow the bad parts of relationships to keep him down.

Even with all that said, he is not a complete red piller because in spite of his abundance, he develops oneitis and treats each new "love" like they are the center of his universe.

If you ask me, he isn't actually in love with the chick, he is in love with love.. It is a different sort of infatuation where the object isn't the person, but rather the emotion and process itself.

treats every girl he talks to like a soul mate.

Funny, I thought there was only supposed to be one soul mate. But that's all Disn-eHarmony bullshit.

All of his posts are either suicidal or he's the happiest man on earth.

Drama queen.

He sounds like my cousin who at the age of fucking 20 made a (free website)site with pictures of the girl and walls of text and hearts everywhere about his love for her, and sent her the link after she broke up with him.

It made my stomach want to murder itself.

My roommate is 25 and is trying to court some 20 year old as if he is maybe 15-16. Its disgusting and both my other roommate and I find it revolting / hilarious.

He went and had dinner with her parents after their 2nd "date" aka watching tv on the bed cuddling apparently. So he could ask the dad if he could ask the daughter out.

Then has the audacity to speak down to the two of us as if we don't understand women lol.

Can't make this kind of shit up. Its just disturbing. We're a generation of fucking idiots.

If you aren't sure of yourself and need validation, a woman who supplies it can be like a drug. This is something that I had (still struggle with), and it's very easy to get caught up in it if you are looking for others praise instead of knowing your value.

Imagine you're a beat puppy just looking for love and then all of a sudden someone comes in with a saucer of milk, hunk of meat, and starts petting and playing with you. You're going to think it's the best feeling in the world! But it's a recipe for disaster......

Codependency is a real bitch, and a lot of people suffer from it and don't even realize it. Unhealthy people breed unhealthy relationships.
