    This comes at a perfect time. I just suddenly got dropped by this girl I was talking to, which was previously telling me how amazing I am, et cetera. The chemistry was amazing and I felt like a million bucks while it was going on, but now struggle with issues of self-worth. I blame myself somewhat, because I went from cool and carefree when we met, to investing way too much time into her, becoming needy in the process. Granted, there were many red flags on her part, but I indulged. Time to move on and focus on myself.

      Went through the same thing so I can relate. She put me on cloud 9 for a couple of months, then the avoidant flaky behavior started, and with that a few months of riding an emotional roller coaster, before she monkey branched to the next guy. I felt like I was getting sucker punched everyday. My brain was a dopamine addict that didn’t want to let go because of how good she had initially made me feel and it was straight up torture going through the withdrawals. But after about a year of being depressed and just making my way through life, two months ago I decided to go for a run and I haven’t looked back. Now I’m training for a marathon, working out at home, eating right, and I’ve dropped from 220 to 210. I’m 5’11” and I have my eye on 190 which at 46 I haven’t been below 200 since my twenties. With all of that said - you got it right, focus on yourself and enjoy it!!!

    This only works if you are not insecure, which you can only acquire when you reach a position where you are genuinely happy with your progress and position in life. E.g. you are jacked and shredded, you know you are in great shape. If you don't get external validation it is meaningless because you know it deep down you are in your best place. If you are not in your best place you will always seek validation.

When I was 21 I started working out, which I could say saved my life.

I do not know the rootcause, maybe it is age, maybe it is my physique or maybe my self-esteem or rather all of that, but at this point I don't not need validation from women, because I put myself first.

    This outlook is so important, I think for people of all sexualities. A key ingredient I noticed for me is when I started releasing shame for being who I am / feeling what I feel. Then what you're talking about feels like a natural next step.
    It's so much easier to feel like internal validation is enough when you take action, acknowledge your progress and stop allowing another part of your own mind to shame you constantly.

  • @phoneywheeze

    man, thanks a lot for being real. I find myself falling into the exact same mindset as you mentioned, wanting to talk to girls, even wanting to hook up, for the primary reason of validating myself, thinking that if that happens, I'll finally have a relief that there's at least some woman out there willing that I can finally use to complete the purpose of reproduction.
    Honestly this has let me down to very stupid path and I have sabotaged the few good relationships I had with women. Me being a virgin at 22 also makes this 2x or 3x worse as it is constantly on my mind.
    Also your point of having bad relations with mother completely hit home. I don't have a positive relation with her and I often find myself seeking female validation.
    Right now I'm completely alone and have no friends. Just graduated college but didn't make any close friends as deep down I always knew there was an ugly side of me that I was afraid of someone else knowing. I really don't know what to do or how to build friends and relationships anymore. I live in an city where alcohol is banned and there are no good places for socializing.

    • @totallyfrozen
      @totallyfrozen Місяць тому +8

      I think his philosophy is along the lines of not focusing on the external validation to the point that you make yourself vulnerable and subservient to it. Being heterosexual and wanting to achieve goals so that one day you can find your mate and marry her is 100% natural, normal, and healthy. Don’t discard or hate women. Just don’t be subordinate to them (in your mind and soul). If you build a strong physique, you will have more options/choices among the females. However, a female should not be your motivation for building your body, because it will push you into rushing, becoming impatient, and losing your peace. A man who is not at peace is not a strong leader. To take the right girl for you, you’ll need to be a strong confident leader. So his philosophy seems to be: Work on yourself to make your own life better and it will naturally attract females with very little effort on your part. Once you have also developed your conversational skills and a sense of humor that is easy for the average person to get, you’ll have many choices of females. You will be able to select what you want without putting yourself under their control. Yes, the females also have a choice, but women are easily influenced and not terribly good at making good choices. Once your life is in order, you will be able to sort out which one is right for you and you will be able to attract her to you. Nothing wrong with wanting a woman, just don’t let your wants do your thinking for you. I think that’s what the Coach is trying to teach.

      That’s your main problem that is keeping you from having a girl, girls are like cats, literally! The more you ignore them the more they come up to you to the point of madness!. The problem with us guys is that we think women think like us, that totally wrong. You have to put yourself in a woman’s mindset, if you where a typical average looking woman, in one regular day in NYC going to work, you would get sneak looked at, stared at, approached by and flirted by, get help and attention at least roughly by 50 people one day! In contrast, a tall good looking man like me gets that special attention from a random woman stranger in NYC probably 1 to 3 times in a year! That changes their psychological structure way differently than ours. That’s why no matter how nice you are, how perfect you are they will not trust you it takes lots of trial and error, a large pool of women to try your luck and land 1 out of 20 attempts. And trust me please, money and looks is not the answer, it doesn’t even make it easier (to attract them, but because of your personal self-esteem boost which is what yhey are noticing) but, I had more self-esteem and confidence when I was broke and fat, having all the time to waste in the world, being used to rejections and knowing I had nothing to lose when approaching 20 women a day, and I was getting laid constantly. Today I have a busy professional work / school schedule, I have way more money, I’m in shape but lost the time to be chasing women because I am after my purpose first, so don’t think that money and looks are the answer, they are not visual like us, they don’t like how you look, they like what comes out of your mouth and it’s your confidence, women have a 6th sense for confidence and you can’t fake it!

    There's so much here that what I'm going to say doesn't really reflect all my thoughts, but I think has helped me stay committed to strength training. I believe I've felt stronger and more committed to strength training because I'm actually training to be a stronger runner, not trying to look better. Over the years I've gotten bored with bodyweight and lightweight dumbbells. I started lifting barbells last year and my body and mind have changed tremendously. It looks like I did it for external validation, but I really am doing it for other reasons. So when I don't look great, it's okay because I'm working on getting stronger, which is so different from many other people's goals. Their goals aren't necessarily wrong, but I think my motivation outside of looks keeps me committed through the more awkward and painful times; ie. when nothing changes or gaining weight as a woman 🤬. Anyways. There are a lot of good points you made here. Just want to share something that has really worked for me. As a woman, I find this so interesting in both that I can relate and learn something new from a guy's perspective. Thank you so much for sharing. ✌

      @@Second2LastPioneer even if we have differences, all human beings are more alike than they're different and so are men and women, so me being a muscular man talking about things that maybe speaks more to men on the surface level is just that. I know many women that get past the surface and understand how to "modify" any gendered message will have a lot to collect from this channel too and I'm happy you've realized and followed for quite some time :)
      Yes, I suggest this balanced approach to fitness and looks. The looks is not something that we should run from and pretend we don't care about, because we do and it is directly related to strength and health. But it shouldn't be the sole focus. External validation is much more enjoyable when it's an effect and not the main goal. It just confirms you're doing well then ⭐️

    I was 311lbs one year ago. I'm now 241. I'm 43 years old. Still working on getting to a healthy weight. I grew up obese so for the most part I never knew even the attention or affection or women. I only knew rejection and what it was to be unwanted. I couldn't imagine to have attention and be desired by women. As a young man that was my fondest wish and that complete lack of acknowledgement broke my heart. I now work out for both external and internal reasons. I know I'll never be that handsome beloved guy I fantasized as a young man but I'd like to be the healthiest me I can be so I can have a quality of life. I've accepted that I can only be me and I can only do the best I know how with what I got.

    I really don't care about the p 😺 anymore. It took awhile for me to reprogram my brain and acknowledge the bad habits I used to indulge. Lust is still here but it's under control with my conscious mind . I will never waste a drop of my essence unless it's for a purpose of creating a child. If not I'll remain chaste for the rest of my life.
    Unwanted attention from women is kind of getting annoying at times when you on SR, but you get used to that. They either hate you or want to drain you. Subconsciously they know you are full of life force energy you can't fake that feeling "aura" I a retainer , they can sense that 100%

    Biology doesn't give a sh$t about your life, so when you are hooking up, you are satisfying just your biology, and you feel good in that moment. So if you think you are just a dog, you can continue doing it, and nobody will come and tell that you are wasting your life. We are not just bodies, we have human consciousness, which separates us from other animals. Otherwise, what's the difference? The desire for validation is a feature introduced by nature so that we don't forget to procreate and the mother nature continues itself. It's like we all are part of a giant beast that only cares about its continuity and we are chained to it.

    It's not rocket science though, the biology drives us to want this validation of a woman. We wouldn't bother otherwise, its is very primal and built on millions of years of evolution of a species. It's a call to action. How one learns to deal with this primal urge is a lifetime of growth and struggle. This is what it is to be alive and an animal. Even if a man has no urge to make copies of himself he will still deal with the cravings of his animal biology so too does a woman.
