Stuck in depression phase

I've been through that phase, in years past. The key to moving beyond it is this:

You have realigned your perspective of the world, but you have not realigned your expectations. You must do the latter to truly reach Acceptance. You need new dreams.

I wrote a post on the TRP main sub about this a while back.

Am I just going to have to accept women for what they are?

Yes. The same way they were fed bullshit about you being prince charming, you were fed about your perfect princess. Reality - you do magic and you don't have armor. she aint royalty and she aint a virgin. Be realistic with your expectations of women in the same way you'd expect a woman to view you. This phase of anger and disillusionment with women will pass if you truly see, and appreciate women for they are, not what you think they should be.

You're going to have to accept the world as it is. Either accept it or live with misery for the rest of your life.

Women are shallow and seems uninteresting.

If you want to find interest in them, initiate yourself to the art of power and social manipulations. You will be humbled by how well they play this game.

But overall, yes. The women you want to find does not exist and yo u are going to need to accept that you will never find an interesting woman with a great personnality.

Hint: find joy and happiness in other things: male friends, hobbies/passion, reaching your goals.

And don't listen to the dumbass who said on this thread "don't worry bro, NAWALT!!"

After a while you will realize reality isn't so bad.

I notice that the majority of women just aren't interesting at all, they only care about what other women think of them and how many likes they can gather on facebook/instagram etc.

Exactly. This is why it is actually crazy to derive self worth and happiness from a woman, let alone anyone besides yourself.

Have any of you guys been through this mindset? Am I just going to have to accept women for what they are?

Accepting it will allow you to appreciate women for what they are, what they bring to the table, and their limitations. Your expectations need to be aligned with reality. When you realize most of the women are not up to standard, it will enable you to enjoy the company of the ones that are interesting.

I highly recommend listening to Patrice. He is a good example of having the right expectations and enjoying women for what they are.

Why are you basing your happiness on the quality of women? Want rational discourse? Get some male friends.

Try to avoid basing your happiness on the actions of others.

Welcome to the reality that is social justification. Women are at their core social creatures and when the opportunity for social justification comes along most will jump.

Instead of being depress I would urge you to go looking for the hard to find women that don't care about that bullshit. Even if AWALT, not AWALT. That's be beauty of a generalization.

Good hunting.

Quality women are hard to find, and some are more "like that" than others. You now have insight others don't, and you should be thinking about how you can use it to get whatever it is that you want, rather than lamenting nature for being what it is.
