The odds increase if you pretend to be someone other than yourself. I don't suggest you take on an alter ego because like the wiser men said here, you'll wind up in some mid life crisis wondering who you are and how you got there and resenting your wife for not loving the real you.
Most importantly, you'll fail in your personal development and be a stunted version of your former self.

Let me split that up for some perspective here...

Is it just me, or did you just contradict yourself?

It's just you. :lol:

It's more like a prediction of what would happen if you were not being yourself, followed by a suggestion to be yourself, just jumbled together in the same paragraph. Immediate success, followed by long-term failure... or immediate failure followed by long-term success? Feed the PIG, or don't feed the PIG... (Personal Instant Gratification)

Decisions, decisions... :?

I would have agreed with that number a little while ago. But I just found my .oooooooooo1%. And everyone else can too! But it's true .... most girls probably adore my body ... but can't even begin to understand my bizarre mind. And that will send them the other way 99.99999% percent of the time haha. But seriously .... you get out what you put in. You can't expect girls to just come up to you. You gotta make the moves and make the right moves too, but if you are a truly caring person SOMEONE will appreciate it.

Give it time, you'll be back to moaning about stupid statistics eventually.
