Background: After being constantly manipulated by a girl a few years ago I eventually unplugged when I was 23, read a ton of evolutionary psychology books and came at peace with most human imperfections ( although ofc I keep learning new things everyday). I am 25 now and have since started focusing on my shit. I flirt all the time though, spin plates and have occasional fun but I see most girls as simply not worth my time as I can see through their manipulations. Recently however, I went out on a date with a girl that has a boyfriend ( open relationship bc. currently living abroad ) and I just kept reading her thoughts, body language, etc... for the fun of it. She loved it in the beginning and was quiet impressed, but at some point was intimitated, eventually she bored me and I left without kissing her. I have been doing that a lot recently, despite above average hot girls hitting on me, telling their friends they want to sleep with me. I am so focused on my shit though that I can not deal with any of their drama that comes after sleeping with them, so I just skip the whole thing.

I am overly ambitious as I am building two parallel careers ( both extremely demanding ). And at the same time I am looking older everyday ( hair loss, etc...).

As a 25 yo, do you think I am wasting my youth and will later regret it, or is focusing on my " mission " worth it and will pay later ?

I know what I want, and yes getting laid is not it. Getting women attention is enough for the ego boost. But I feel sometimes extremely lonely as most of my friends my age are enjoying healthy relationships. Although they have very basic normal dreams of starting families ( which I don't ).

So how do any of you focus on your mission, skip the LTRs, without feeling extremely lonely ? Things don't get hard or depressing for you ?
