Yeah, when I went through my break up 3 years ago, my first thought was "change to get them back." After awhile, I realized, I needed to change for me. After that I was much happier, it wasn't some albatross around my neck.Yeah... You know what? I have learned things about those failures. The first being not giving everything to someone until they truly show they're worth it. I've learned not to try wooo someone and avoid being the "simp" I was being. But at times I feel like I'm just more and more jaded when I look at women. It's weird. I see women and I'm already judging then negatively, almost as a way to make myself feel better for her not liking me or giving me her attention. I will say I was a bit bigger a few years ago. I went from being 280 down to 245 and hitting the weights everyday. And ultimately, it's the being ignored by women that keeps me going to the gym. It's hard trying to be less of a "simp" when you're a big guy because now the vibe I've gotten when I've asked a few random girls is that I come off as "intimidating" and I don't know wtf that even means.
I think you have the right idea as far as "self improvement". I don't want to seem like I am judging but now you gotta work on the way you view the women you interact with. Getting slighted definitely causes the jadedness to creep in, but you gotta fight that. It creates a poisonous mindset and it may not harm short term, but long term, it will really screw you over.
Good luck man, we all have our challenges.
