And maybe it's even entertaining watching people destroy themselves on the internet, but it ultimately does not achieve the end, which they would claim that they are seeking in the first place.

And it's not a good answer.

No, you have to actually be good at something.

And that's the thing is once you actually find what you are good at and you lean into that, you find a way to monetize it, you will develop a kind of irrational self-confidence, which on paper, women will tell you they hate.

They really don't.

They actually enjoy that.

They prefer it even.

And so, yeah, you can't just say, hey man, just be confident and then give yourself a pep talk in the mirror or something.

You actually have to have some kind of like skill or ambition or purpose, which makes you feel like you are, you know, making the right moves.

And then all the other stuff will sort of fall into place naturally, I think.

But yeah, I'm not surprised that guys who are, you know, binge watching these kinds of streamers or doing nothing else productive with their lives or like scratching their heads, like, why is this not working?

Why do I not feel a sense of confidence?

Yeah, I found like this photo of this person and I was like, I think she's beautiful.

And then I kept scrolling on the timeline and I saw that this person indicated they may actually be trans and I was like, oh no.

Yeah, by the transitive property, unfortunately.

I actually dated a girl one time who was liberal, and we got into it about the trans stuff.

And I told her what I thought, and she started laughing at me.

And I was like, what's so funny?

And she produced a photo of herself as a toddler, and it looked exactly like a little boy.

And I have never genuinely been more scared in my life.
