The only thing that makes young men valuable.

Kyle, really appreciate you sharing this bud. Yes, wonderful lesson - do it for yourself!

This doesn't fit into the lesson Alex provides here, but I'll add that, regarding the question of what makes young men valuable, their willingness to fight and die in battle has (I'm guessing) been pretty key throughout human history.

Valuable to whom? Since women prefer older men, that would seem to indicate they don't value potential. I might argue that young men are more valuable to older men, as that ambition and enthusiasm can be exploited in order to make the older men even more successful while the young men are just hoping for scraps so they can eventually get to where the older men are.

I don’t want to sound discouraging here. Even with all of the potential, there is still no guarantee that you will find a partner because of it. Before I actively worked on trying to date, I had never been past the first date. Ever. I felt like I wasn’t accomplishing what I wanted out of my life so I actively worked on trying to improve it. I killed every job I worked at, I worked out, stayed in shape, I had potential as a teacher and a football coach and worked tirelessly for those opportunities. I had to work 100+ hours per week for my football job, two of those years being unpaid and the remaining three of those being underpaid to put my self in position to have my life set up for a relationship. Despite having Aspbergers Syndrome, I worked on my communication skills and am now better at socially interacting with others than my peers thanks to the supportive people around me and my work ethic. I held leadership positions which helped me develop my assertiveness. These were all great things that came from my work. I used all of the qualities I built over the years and tried to apply it to dating. I asked more women out, I treated everyone around me better, I refined what I want in a partner, worked on myself, and never took rejection personally. I am still at where I was at 10 years ago. Never been past the first date. Now, I am starting the process over again and want to fly aircraft for our nations military. I am now moving my life around to make that happen. If there is one thing I learned from my experience that I want to share with you all, I want to let you know that if you change your life, do it for yourself, not for someone else. And potential doesn’t replace productivity (ie. “What have you done for me lately?)
