-Figure out early what is important; you cannot do this early enough
-Dont spend so much money on liquor. I could have bought a brand new SUV by now
-Pick a few things and do them well and stick with them, quit chasing random crap
-Select a career you love regardless of the money, cause you never know when you will be kicked to the curb, unless you want to be self-employed.
-You treat people like crap, you will get treated like crap. Expect it, and no cryin
-Eat right.
-Whats outside (aesthetic) is important, but whats more important is who you are inside (no whiteknight, just reality, deal with it)
-Insecure people always have to have someone/something else to blame. Dont be that guy.

(More later, and BTW no amount of rage on your part will change the validity of my words):
Some good stuff here but you left out a lot. On the other hand, I guess you have tometergood advice.

You will come across THE ONE in your life. If you haven't yet, just wait, you will. If she is, no one will come close to her in your mind, and I'm not talking about thinking you are in love with a porn star.

You will rate every other female by her (looks, attitude, personality, interaction with you, etc...). No one but her will measure up. If you can't say that about anyone, you prob haven't met her yet. When you do meet her, don't screw it up. Be real, go after her, respect her, and let her love on you too.

Can you imagine sharing good times with her when you aren't having sex? Then she might be the ONE. If not, its just your bonar talking. That's why I said, slim down on the things you concentrate on.

Don't be so busy keeping yourself busy with things that don't matter, that you miss her. Trust yourself. You will know. This is what I really believe.

Biggest one I couldnt agree more with is finding out what you want to do in life.
Its a hard one,when I was at school thete was basically no careers advice or push to focus on that. You really should focus on what you want/enjoy and find out where that could take you career wise..and get going young.
.. theres no turning back

Every one of my posts is talking down on modern women, which I stand by-fuk these fickle, vapid Instagram using, legging wearing, rave-going whores-but this is oh so true. There's that one girl...that one fukking girl... you won't understand if you haven't met her yet... but there is that that one damn girl who despite not seeming like she's all that on paper, is all that in your world, and to you, is ten times better than even the girls who ARE all that on paper. it's insane. mindblowing. there is no way to explain or describe it. you just know.. you feel something different with her than any other girl, no matter how many. she sets the standard, and every other person on this planet falls beneath it, even if on paper they may not, in your reality..they do.

Dont let it just hang there, or it will. Confront (kindly) and resolve it.

Not to dis dat girl, but unaware MISCers say that about Pr0n stars all the time. They mistake infatuation for love. Dont be that guy. Find a love that you love with a deep love but that loves you back the same way. It exists.

Just found thread. Read all in one go.

Thank you op. Glad you share a similar idea on women.

Read your post on throwing all fears away about women. Decided to say I wanted to be exclusive. She said she was waiting for me to ask. Found out her friends said I sound too good to be true. Feelsgoodman.

I've got personal problems going on that I'd rather not say in public, but I wonder what the future me would say to myself right now. I plan to read this whole thread though, great advice from what I read so far OP. Repped.

So much great advice in this thread. Thanks OP

About love - I'm going out with a "church girl", exactly as you described in page 3 or 4, been in relationship for 3 months, she's my first love and we're both crazy for each other..but I'm still not sure if it's meant to be. We both share different values and views, she's Christian while I am not, she doesn't want to do anything below the waist before marriage while I do, I fear that I will only end up hurting myself if she wants an end to this relationship, I know that she loves me but she has been keeping her guard on and distancing herself more and more recently to distract from me.

I barely get over 2 hours of sleep at night because of this, I was able to crack jokes, mess with her using misc copypastas etc to make her laugh and make myself seem interesting, but now we barely ever joke about anything because of how serious things have gotten. Love is just evil and dangerous and I really wish I didn't get so attached to this girl as I have now. I'm 20 and she's 19, and I know this is way too young to be getting too serious about relationships, however I'm just not that type of guy who sleeps around with lots of women like most guys do, I want to find someone to settle down with and build a strong relationship.

Appreciate any wisdom from you on this situation because its killing me from the inside..

This can be really tough. There are only three outcomes:
-She leaves her faith for you
-You join her faith (if its real it ok, but if for her only, thats not good)
-You guys split up

I never recommend that guys go for church girls if they are not church guys
