Over the last few months, I've had more success with women than I have ever had. The last few weeks, it's tailed off for various reasons. This has resulted in me being more unhappy than I have been in a long time. After reading some posts here, I realized that I don't primarily chase women for sex.

In a seddit post, someone mentioned that they lose interest when a women shows interest, and their interest escalates when a woman loses interest. In the comment chain, a person said they believe OP seeks validation. After reading that, I firmly believe that is why I chase women.

How do I stop seeking validation? How do I stop focusing on what I don't have and comparing myself to others?
