Quote:
I have proven the fact that without a girlfriend with a strong will of her own, I cannot succeed in my other areas of life.
This, here ^, is fallacy. Try; Without succeeding in other areas of my life, I cannot attract a girlfriend with a strong will of her own.
Quote:
I should have made the decision years ago to just be myself and use patience to let what I had going for myself happen
This, here ^, is the high road for everyone. Start at this by actively being: Techie, Programmer, Musician, Songwriter, Producer.
It's through competencies that self confidence emerges. Life is work, not romance. Get to work and forget about the low-lives. (Sometimes romance happens, but never in isolation. Work exposes our best selves to others, despite ourselves.)
