I'm sick of this. I grew up with a mom who was so frugal that it has worn off on me. I am in very good financial shape, probably better than 95% of people my age, but I still worry about my finances way too much. Don't get me wrong - I don't want to waste my money on ridiculous purchases and bad debts, but I'd like to not stress out every time I want to buy a pizza. Any ideas? Books that might help me?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
How to stop being a cheapskate?

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

cheapskates are the worlds worst form of scumbag.
Nothin wrong with saving your dough and not wasting it on garbage. Just think this "i might die tomorrow, so if i want this now, ill buy it".
I hope your not the type to skimp on tips.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

A frugal guy a) worries too much about money b) have hard time dealing with women since guy's frugality is a major turn off for women.
Maybe meant being frugal is ok for women?

Nope, never have been and never will be.
But ive been with cheapskate friends who give some lame 25 cent type tip and it sickens me. Im a good tipper because servers work their asses off plus i just like giving them dough for some reason lol.
Its just no fun being with people who are always worried about spending.
"hey bro, wanna go to this show downtown tonight"
-'nah man dont wanna spend 10 bucks on a ticket'
"hey bro, lets hit the club"
-'no way man, parking alone is gonna set me back!'
"wanna hit this new restaurant ?"
-'blablablabla'
People like that suck.

Thats exactly how i feel, i live very cheaply, I get probably $700-$750 per week after tax yet i worry about spending $10 extra on getting a bus each week between work and the train station instead of walking (which i often do) and i get annoyed if the price of something goes up (even if only by a little). I may get a bit better as time goes by but i don't know.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
