I'd like to get your thoughts on my questions regarding taking most out of life by letting yourself fall in love with a girl. I never let myself falling in love so far but I like the idea of it.

For the context, I am working internalizing these:

  • I'm essentially completely alone. No one loves me unconditionally. I'll live and die alone.

  • To not feel crushed, you should not hold on to things tightly. Hold on to things loosely. That doesn't mean you can't want things badly and you can't work your ass off.

  • Compartmentalize your life. Have things to fall back to. Lifting, know how, work, love life, friends, hobbies.

  • Be ready to walk away from everything.

Questions

  1. What is the difference between oneitis and falling in love with a girl? I assume they are same.

  2. Why is it assumed on TRP that plates will prevent you from falling for a girl? Yes it will help but it is not preventative I think, it mainly gives you options.

  3. Isn't falling in love a good thing? It makes you feel good until it ends. All you have to do is to let go when shit happens. You are already alone, it was just temporary, and now it has runned its course, cry whine and move on

  4. Why not be vulnerable (by letting yourself attach to this girl) to experience more pleasure and joy out of life? I think it'd be way more satisfying for you to be with a girl when you really love the girl. You know she doesn't love you unconditionally. You know this relationship is only temporary as with everything in life. By falling for this girl, you are making an investment, you are valuing her a lot in your inner world, and YOUR valuation and commitment and attachment MAKES the whole thing more valueable for you. You give meaning to her in your perception. That is why fucking/hanging out with her feels way better for you comparing to plates or average LTRs.

  5. These may sound perfect on paper but in reality I assume "experiencing" a girl like that gives you hard to forget memories. Like she has a place in your life that is almost non-removable? So the whole thing is easier said than done? And it hurts and that is why most people here are just looking to fuck chicks and fall in love with their life, work, hobby, friends etc.?

PS. I'm not talking about turning into beta. I'm talking about the mindset.
