Distraction with sex and dates is one thing. But women also will discourage you from pursuing your dreams and force, bully, even shame you into playing it safe.

I am sure you guys have had this experience before, of your girlfriends or mothers telling you to quit it, saying you are being crazy for pursuing something, and they even shame and leave you, and then they have the audacity to wait for you at the finish line afterwards.

When you are still learning, studying and making it in the world women will always jump ship and leave you behind. But when you are succeeding, see them crawl out of the woodwork saying they have always believed in you.

Ditch them. Don't let their nagging destroy your morale. Maintain your laser focus. Pursue your goals and GYOW.
