Hi, guys. I am a 21 years old guy. Most of my life I haven't been successful with women, but one day I decided to change that and started working on improving myself. That's when I learned about the red-pill and I found it very useful during my self-improvement journey.
I am 5' 11, mildly attractive and I had already been working out for years and had plenty of hobbies. The only thing I was lacking was the experience and confidence to talk to women.
Over the course of a year I went from never having kissed a girl and not knowing how to talk to them to being comfortable around them and having had around 15 dates with women and even though I haven't got laid yet, I've got to do sexual stuff with them. Now, don't get me wrong, I am grateful for what I've achieved, but I feel like I can only get so far in my current state: it's extremely difficult to get intimate when you don't have your own place. Also, most of the girls I've been on dates have traveled a lot and I didn't have that opportunity as a kid, so I come off as boring in comparison. As a result, most of the girls I've only seen them once or twice. They seem very interested at first (I assume because of my appearance) and I have no problems getting dates, but attraction seems to wear off quickly.
Now, I am very optimistic about the future since I study a very good degree (Comp. Sci. and Math) and I already have some experience in the field so I expect to do very well once I graduate. That's why I decided to take a break from dating and focusing on completing my degree as soon as possible.
But it's hard to motivate myself to keep studying for a degree I don't like while convincing myself that everything will be better in some years, since right now it looks like that's very far away. That's why I wanted to hear stories about men that were in a similar situation as mine but managed to go through it and became successful with women afterwards. Is this really the best course of action in my situation? I know that I could keep on dating on the side, but it honestly feels like doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. but Thanks in advance.
Edit1: there seem to be a couple misconceptions about my post.
1
No, I am not studying my degree solely so that I can get money so that I can then get women. I love programming and I have an inclination for comp. Sci. already but Math is very theory-focused so if I could choose again I would just go for comp. Sci. That’s what I meant. And I don’t do it for women or purely money since I chose the degree before taking the red pill. I am just aware this will be beneficial in terms of logistics and SMV so I wanted to discuss the extension of its effect in attractiveness.
2
I know money by itself won’t make me attractive and I wasn’t talking about money as a means of “buying” girls (gaining attention from them by buying then stuff, for example) That would be falling too low and rather innecessary for me. I was rather talking about the importance of money in terms of logistics for dates, being able to pay for both of you when yo go out, etc. since those things were limiting me when I dated.
3
As many of you have pointed out, ambition is key. Money is nothing without ambition and I am an ambitious person. I seemed to have conveyed that I only care about getting women. This is not the case. This is only one of the many things I am working on to improve in life. I just decided to ask specifically about this because I don’t want to make a general post about my life and stuff that isn’t really related to the red pill.
Edit2: regardless. I’ve read all the comments and I appreciate all the feedback given, specially the harshest coldest truths since these are the ones that help me grow the most and allow me to see beyond my own perspective. I want to thank you all for sharing your knowledge and points of view with me.
