So here's what I'd say.
One of the great things I learned as a psychiatrist is
The best way to run away from an unsolvable problem is to solve something else.
So I think you're absolutely right.
There's a displacement because I don't even know where to start with how to flirt.
But you know what I can control?
Like here's the thing about looks maxing.
There's no other humans involved.
There's no possibility like getting somebody else to fall in love with fucking me.
Like that's so hard.
I don't even know where to start.
I don't even like myself.
How am I supposed to get somebody else to fall in love with me?
When I look in the mirror, I see disgust.
I cannot fathom or tolerate the idea of going on a date and having this person look at this.
So I'm going to transform myself.
I'm going to solve all of those problems by solving one problem.
If I can just do this one thing, I'm going to take a multivariate regression analysis and hyper-focus on one variable.
I'm going to do a very interesting selection bias and cognitive bias, cognitive filtering of ignoring all of the beautiful people who are still single or divorced.
And the other huge cognitive bias that I'm going to do, when I go to a playground and I see lots of kids running around and I look at the parents of those kids, they're average looking.
