Hello, gentlemen! I made a post yesterday, but after listening to your feedback and reviewing the situation again, I over did it lmao so let me try again.

I have been internalizing and applying TRP every since the beginning of the year. Although I still have a long way to go, I am starting to see the fruits of my labor: I'm getting stronger mentally, physically, and emotionally, I receive more IOIs in public, and I've gained purpose in my life again. Overall, TRP is changing my life for the better, however I've reached another point of conflict: cognitive dissonance with my improved SMV.

This past Saturday, I went on a date with a young woman (HB6) and the conversation turned to why we matched with each other on Hinge. She began listing all of the things on her list that I checked off and she was surprised we matched and I wasn't snatched up by someone yet. I shrugged and said "you should be proud, most girls don't make it this far."

Her statement and other nonverbal cues throughout the night made me think. The old, BP me would have to jump through hoops, use self deprecated humor, or

Thanks.
