Its Ironic because there is no such as improving oneself other than learning and understanding Game.
Game literally defines a mans position in the world.
Money, Institutional Power, Education, Muscles, Hard Work, Career etc these things are part of the Boomer Patriarchal system where these things substituted Game. Now those things have 0 value and only Game has value.
Hence, improving oneself is simply learning Game and knowing how the future socio-political system based on Game and Community is gonna work.
Improving Yourself = Get out of the Patriarchy, Boomers, Traditionalism and move into the New System.
All the young girls are rejecting the sexual behaviours of the Boomer women ie Having affairs, going on trips..as we have noticed younger women are engaging less and less in this system due to their being 0 value in this system for them.
If you wanna win with women you should try and understand what the Alpha Male Communal system is and how it works and how it relates to Game.
You cannot stop chasing women and focus on yourself because your are really just playing the current Socio-Political Game which is to value Traditional Stuff like Money, Education, Business etc but all this is WITHIN the current 'traditional system' which is based on marriage, money, monogamy etc.
So you are not focusing on YOURSELF you are just putting more work into a FAILING SYSTEM.
To better yourself is simply to understand the new system. In that system Game and Social Status are correlated hence in the New System there is no contradiction between having Game and Improving yourself.
