Seems like a huge part of the problem is equating "self-worth" to "getting laid".
Putting your dick in a woman doesn't make you any more of a man / successful / worth more than anyone else.
Societal expectations need to be rejected. Oh, success is measured by your ability to get married, have a house, and raise your 2.5 children? For a vast majority, NONE OF THAT IS CURRENTLY SUSTAINABLE AND/OR OBTAINABLE. So why bother? Right?
I get it. It ain't right, but I get it.
Pro tip: getting laid creates more problems than it solves.
Oh, I'm well aware. I'm one of those problems. 😎
Pro tip: don't say "getting laid", ever, unless you want to sound misogynistic.
