TL;DR: Your understanding of the word "value" ultimately determines the trajectory of your life.

I have been a lurking-member for a while here and would like to begin giving back. Hopefully anyone who reads my posts will benefit from my observations of the world post-TRP.

What is value? The answer depends on who you ask, but for the purposes of this piece the word "value" essentially means "to care about."

People are different. We value different things for different reasons. Some things that you value I wouldn't, and vice versa.

You see, this is the point...

If everyone is different and values different things, an important question might then become, "...well, what do I value?"

It's funny actually - different portions of society have an interest in you possessing certain values:

  • governments have an interest in you valuing laws and authority.
  • Hollywood has an interest in you valuing movies and the accompanying actors/actresses.
  • women have an interest in you valuing the pedestal and their collective vagina.

Surely this makes sense. The point of this post is that your life and its course depends on the things that you value. Not everyone values the same things and this is okay. But you must know what you value; "those who stand for nothing will fall for anything" - this quote is absolutely true.

This is a "sexual strategy" forum. Fine. Maybe you value marriage, or maybe not. Maybe you value trying to bang as many women as possible, or maybe not. Maybe you value style/fashion and physical activity and the contribution that these things have on your game, or maybe not.

It's all up to you.

Summary: Your life is your life. Manifest the type of life that you want to see. Living your life in a manner in which others would disapprove doesn't make you a loser; NOT living your life the way you want to, however, does.
