As usual. . . .


Life is not fair.


Embrace that fact and it will lead you on the path you were always meant to travel on.

I only wish the OP was really looking for advice because yours is spot on

Sadly, he is apparently not interested in learning anything here.

Self worth, much like self esteem or self confidence, is a self based concept, meaning derived from within. You choose your self worth based on how you see yourself. If you attempt to derive these self concepts from external things, others, material posessions or a career, you may find yourself in a rough spot when your world crashes down and you become nothing, because you lost all your money, got fired from your job or had your reputation ruined. Its bad juju. The only way to be fully in control of your life, is to place it in your own hands.

No I don't see my sense of worth having to do with women I've had. Its more about my success in the general world. I think perhaps women see it the same way .I am married so I hear it constantly from younger women that they have a standard of equal success ;not some loser as far as partners.

I defied death today that would have killed 99% of most men.

Today is my anniversary.......

My self worth is aided by that accomplishment alone, not only what I was doing at the time.

It is hard to feel good about yourself when your life not in order . The only thing i have going for me is I am in college for the 2nd time and I cant fail.

I cant go back to drinking and pooping pills like candy just to make it through another crappy work day with no upward mobility.

I don't know if it's the chicken or egg. When I'm feeling in a darker place, my perception is that everything sucks and even though I've done this, it seems I should have done more. Trying to stay grateful helps.

The desire to feel like I am not a loser drives me.I don't know if that's the healthiest thing to be motivated by a fear of hating yourself. But it definitely helps.

Staying positive helps and working on yourself goes a long ways .

It does suck to see a guy with no goals in life or dreams get a GF and your like WTF .

Having success with women from an early age. That does wonders for a man's confidence

Those two things are not necessarily the same thing. You may find 100 women appealing, but not 'Love' material.

It might be necessary to re-evaluate your selection process and what you want. If your goal is to find some physically hot babe then so be it. If your goal is to find someone who will love you and will love in return - what is your criteria for this.

You need a plan. You aren't a loser because of sex. I'll let you in on a her club secret - it's not sex that ruins it it's self esteem. You also cannot rely on one person to satisfy all your needs.

I think your lack of success stems from your inability to finish a post here.

Seriously, why do you just start threads that you don't come back to? If you don't want answers and feedback, you should start a blog.
