I lift religiously, read books about seduction, make more money, meditate, dress better, etc. etc. It makes me feel better than before, but if I trace the why's of these activities, it ALL comes down to attract women. It seems like this is the only drive in me that pushes me.

I mean, if improving your SMV is the only pushing drive that we have, then aren't we just as needy as those approval seeking beta's but just in a more 'productive' way? How do you guys think about this?
