I found out a lot of the reason I was so interested in women was validation. If a girl thought I was hot that must mean I am, right?

But since I've started participating in self-actualizing activities (working out, going back to school, etc.), I've found that women just don't matter to my self-esteem anymore. I still love seduction and all but the last few times I've gone out there hasn't been this feeling like I have to do any of this to make myself feel better.

Anyone else experienced this? I for one can say that it makes this PUA stuff a lot more fun and playful than it was before.
