good thread. I'm linking in the middle, but click and scroll up. This is the same reason I distrusts and avoid anti-depressants (and I think that a doctor's note that you need pot is EXACTLY the same as one that you need prozac).

12/ Related to all of this: some red pill truth bombs for 20 something incels: if women won't give you the time of day because you're a nice guy...the problem is not that you're a nice guy. The problem is that you're boring and low status.

13/ You already know this deep in your heart, but you're trying to pull the wool over your eyes, and society is helping you do it. The thing is, there's more pain playing pretend than there is in facing reality. That splinter hurts, right? Would you rather pull it out or not?

14/ So, again, the "depression" is giving you useful information. Mood is a sense! If your eyes told you that the building was on fire, you'd fight the flames or leave. If your ears told you there was a fire... If your nose told you there was a fire... If your skin told you

15/ If the house is on fire, do you want a blindfold? If the house is on fire, do you want earplugs? If the house is on fire, do you want an air freshener? If the house is on fire, do you want weed and prozac?

16/ A related scenario: Your eyes tell you that everything is soothing and good. Your ears tell you that there is pleasant music. Maybe there's just a slight crackling sound, but that's maybe nothing. But your nose tells you that there's smoke. Now you face a question:

17/ Do you want to reach up and touch the blindfold? Do rip it off? Do you take off the headphones? If you do, you may very well see a fire. And realizing that you're in a burning building is very very scary - much scarier than where you are right now.

18/ If you pull off the blindfold and the headphones and DO learn that you're in a burning building, you have a lot of work ahead of you. You've gotta break out a window, climb down three stories of gutter, try not to fall. Scary stuff! ...but would you rather do that -

20/ Good thread. I endorse / accept everything here. A spare donut tire is not as good as a real tire, but it's a useful tool to get you 100 miles to the tire shop. Prozac may help you deal with bad crap for 6 months as you fix it. https://twitter.com/JASutherlandBks/status/1082676209685839872 …

23/ Also, demonstrating competence in a hobby in front of women (even non guitar) works very well. About 8 years back I had a toasty 19 year old throwing herself at 39 yo me because I signed up for a clay arts / pottery class and I was pretty darned good at the wheel.

24/ I mean, admittedly, she was crazy. But if a 39 year old guy is looking for 19 year old women (I wasn't) that's ... kinda part of what you're looking for, I think?
