If you can't practice some humility and admit where you went wrong in relationships or hookups... you're never going to do better the next time you meet someone.
I see a number of guys on here who can't seem to admit that they made mistakes on the past. It's part of life.
You wanna be alpha? Well part of being alpha is facing your fears and your weaknesses. Lying or denying you have made mistakes doesn't make you alpha. Getting over your fear of being wrong does.
Before you say "bUt WoMeN mAkE miSTaKeS tOo!" This is ex fucking redpill. This is being addressed to you as guys. No shit, women make mistakes too. Everyone fucking does. But if we were going to address women and the dating mistakes they make, then this would be written in a different sub. One that is for women with issues in dating. Quit deflecting.
This is about you and your self improvement journey. You can't improve your life without admitting your mistakes and learning from it. Do yourself a favor and put your ego aside for a minute here.
I don't give a fuck about your ex girlfriend or your mother or other examples of women in your life. Doesn't matter if she was a saint or a demon whore. In every single relationship that went bad (romantic or otherwise) you can find at least one small example of how you can do better next time. Even if 99% of it is the fault of the other person.
Humility and knowing how to admit you were wrong is very admirable.
It's not just useful in relationships and dating, by the way. I've seen people get fired from jobs because they refuse to learn from mistakes. People can fail in school because they won't go back and correct their mistakes, instead they argue with the other teachers or students. I've seen families fall apart because one or both sides won't be honest and apologize. Maybe you didn't start the problem, but you can finish it. Don't be that fucking person who is impossible to deal with.

People underestimate how good it feels to ask for forgiveness. The moment before you ask it always will feel tough but the moment you do you didnt even realize that not only does it make the person your asking for feel great but as long as its sincere it makes you feel just as good. And even though its extremely small so small you wont even know it but you just became a slightly stronger version of yourself than before.
