Is a common advice I hear for younger guys who have trouble getting girls. thing is though, girls have VERY high expectations. If she got a bachelor in something useful, you have to at least have a masters in something even more useful for starters. If she makes decent money, you better make at least twice as much. If she is fit, you better be fitter. If she has a decent body count, you better have a similar number. Everything you do, you have to do better than them by mile. And if we believe the rule "there is always someone better than you", you will never win anyways.
