Of course its great advice. You absolutely HAVE TO call out women on their BS behavior, or else they will never respect you, since clearly you dont respect yourself. However, explaining it to CD white knight crew is close to impossible, since it takes a spine to be able to stand up for who you are and how you want to be treated. Some just like to be walked all over by women, because they lack balls.

What a older man told me when I was younger was that you shouldn't sell your soul to get a girl. A man may have his arm around her but look down and you will see her pulling the chain.

Being yourself got you in this trouble so it makes sense to be something else. I mean if someone failed at the olympics you don't tell them be yourself, you tell them to improve themselves and work habits so they can win next time. It literally makes no sense to double down on your past mistakes. Yourself is a failure so you should go out and actively improve yourself by every means necessary. Go to the gym, read a book, travel, go to a museum and chat up randoms, do anything besides following yourself because yourself is a massive failure.
You can certainly be yourself and improve yourself at the same time. Maybe you're taking it too literal. Obviously if you have a rotten personality you wouldn't be yourself but rather you should improve it. Being yourself means not pretending to be someone else. If you're going to put on a fake persona the women you meet will dump you once they find out you're lying. Don't pretend to be a Harvard Grad and misuse big fancy words when in reality you flunked out of high school. Or don't pretend to be Mr. Moneybags and dream up this fancy job when you're really still living at home making minimum wage. Stuff like that. Be honest with women you meet and if you can look at the mirror and acknowledge that something needs to be improved, then you're already one step ahead. Fix what's broken and get yourself out there.

Thats also very wise advice. However, when a man meets a woman of his life, he loses his soul. I know this sounds a little out there but there is actualy quite a bit of philosophical background behind this statement. Notice, holy men are always forced into life of solitutude, in order to avoid this very scenario. All 5 main religions speak pof this phenomena, if you know how to seek it out. I have recently picked up some posters of beautiful women with facepaint symbolizing death, and i absolutely love for what they stand for. Crazy stuff, but very real and true.

Not really. Im actualy speaking the truth, one and only. Very few understand it, and even fewer are ready for it. I do realize that it is far from a popular or PC view, which is mainstream. With that said, I absolutely love and adore women. Couldnt live without them.

It might be your weird reality but it most certainly isn't for normal people.

I am really second guessing my views in men because the males around here are really ****ed up in their head.

what exactly do you consider normal? wouldnt the world be boring if there were no difference of opinions and people didnt hold unique views. If you think im in some twilight zone reality, i can point you to texts of all 5 main religions that echo my claim.

I don't give a rats arse about religion. In case you hadn't noticed I am an atheist. Religions are a scourge on humanity and one of the main causes of hatred and ill treatment of women throughout history.
