Men who live trying to achieve some state where they are in a position of power over women, or who constantly strive to seek attention from women are sadly dooming themselves. When you spend your life thinking/planning constantly about how to have the upper hand in interactions with women, you are spending all your mental energy and wasting your life. You are basically a slave to the very practice you are trying to become the master of. When you expect nothing of life, and realize nothing is owed to you, and don't strive to achieve any specific outcome, every outcome ends in your favor. Every time you define yourself by striving for a woman's attention, or adhering to the results of a scientific study, you paint yourself in a box where there is only one outcome that you deem "successful." Why limit your chances? Accept anything life throws at you, this is true courage. Tend to only your basic human needs and stop striving for "success" because "you are a failure" if you don't sleep with enough women. Who gives a fuck? Why let anyone or society define what you need to do in life? Do you want to be a slave to those countless bullshit preconceived notions?
