Kinda like this?
To get really good at anything, one has to have a strong enough "why" to keep them going through setbacks and hardships. If someone's "why" is external or superficial, then they'll get burnt out and easily deterred by the first roadblock between where they are now and their definition of a successful outcome.
The main takeaway is that excellence in a subject requires being passionate about that subject.
I didn't. I was such a late bloomer that throughout middle school and into early high school, my peers thought I was gay. I was bullied and became so avoidant that I'd be nauseous all throughout the day, and would excuse myself for the majority of my classes to go to the bathroom and just not return.
It wasn't until I transferred schools that I was able to reinvent myself and focus on what I did want, rather than being plagued by what I didn't want.
It's the key if you want to be with a LOT of women. It is not necessary if you want to be with SOME women.
Just like going to the gym isn't a necessity if you want to be healthy. But it is a necessity if you want to be a bodybuilder.
And I know you're the type to discredit what I say about dating because I don't have my financial situation figured out, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I'll provide some additional context...I don't take women out to dinner dates - that is something I do with women I'm serious about, and may be a once-in-a-while thing I'll do with someone I'm actively f***ing. 9.9 times out of 10, we're grabbing drinks somewhere low-key, like last night I went on a date (went really well, need to write a new report) where we got drinks, then went to her place. That cost $78, with the only additional cost being the gas to drive there. Plus, remember, about half the time I'm meeting these women while out, in which case, there is no date. I will say that I have done the hotel thing, I think 3 times in my life, but that is by no means the norm.

@Glassguy post about his "Algorithm" I think it was. I basically do that.
You don't have to believe in it, it's not you who is doing it. What I will say is that it's made me more money than any of my previous attempts at business so far. You know what I think the difference is? I'm really f***ing good at this, whereas with everything else I had to become "good enough", which wasn't enough.
Haha I'm not, but I found that funny to read for the first time. I'd never seen the movie you're referencing, but I do upload content pretty regularly, most of which I'm just talking to the camera. They're not scripted, and I just give my thoughts on particular subjects, so that might give you a better idea of my "persona".
