24M dumped by 2 year LTR in August due to my pathetic, weak, and needy behavior. She lied, broke boundaries, verbally insulted, and likely cheated. I suspect she was BPD but it’s my fault I dated a girl knowing the red flags. I was at my rock bottom and I knew I couldn’t live like that anymore. Went no contact.

Since then I’ve implemented the RP advice religiously for the past 8 months. I lift PPL 6 days a week (went from 135 to 152 lbs, all compounds almost doubled), got a better job making close to 6 figured in banking, improved my wardrobe, eat a perfect diet, expanded my social circle drastically, game much better, and improved my social skills significantly.

After the break up I could only hook up with 5/6s. After 8 months I have been plating 7s consistently. My frustration is I haven’t been able to plate 8/9s. I want to make the jump into better quality women and I’m not sure what else I can do. Purely physical I’m about a 8 but I’m improving through lifting, diet, game, and fashion every day. I’m working on every aspect of SMV I can possibly max out but I need faster progress. The fact of the matter is look-wise, I haven’t done better than my ex and I know she’s not the best I can do.

What else can I do besides be patient with progress?
