The Moment I Could No Longer Pretend That Everything Was Fine

So a few weeks ago, I was kicking it with my friend from SF.

He’s slightly younger than me — but a certified genius. 

He graduated two years early with an engineering degree, and now works a high-paying remote gig. 

Anyways, we grabbed some cortaditos from this Cuban place and headed to the beach to see some waves crash. 

It had been a year or two since we last met.

But we easily picked right back up. 

On the walk down to the beach, he started chatting about how bogus the dating scene in SF was…

And here’s where I got confused. 

I have no idea what the situation is like in SF. 

But I could have SWORN this guy was madly in love with a sweet botanist who loved cooking seafood paella. 

So I carefully inserted: 

“Hey, what happened to that girl you were dating. She was nice.” 

Turns out…

She was creepin the whole time. 

They had been dating for about a year, but apparently she was cozyed up with some finance bro for most of it. 

Got damn. 

It’s always the Wall Street boys isn’t it? 

Jokes aside…

My buddy was going to be fine (hopefully). 

This was not the type of guy to w*nk in the basement all day. 

He had his sh*t together. 

Good job, nice studio apartment, sociable…

But still…

What the hell was happening? 

It just seemed unlikely. 

Eventually I came to this conclusion…

Modern attraction is TOTALLY different from our parent’s era. 

It’s kind of like that one “Rick and Morty” episode where that Australian alien invents a dating app. 

The options are infinite. 

So being average simply doesn’t cut it. 

It’s lowkey cooked, and I’m not usually the doomer type. 

So what’s the solution? 

I normally would have dissected my friend’s situation a little more, just to put my aging millennial brain to use. 

But then I realized…

Sh*t happens bro. 

All we can really do is relentlessly improve ourselves.

Communicate. 

Get financial freedom.

That’s it. 

The rest comes down to a game of numbers. 

Think about it: 

It’s ALWAYS going to be the wrong girl, until you marry the woman of your dreams.

Right? 

So the best action you can take is ensuring your ability to GET numbers. 

This is why I wasn’t too concerned about my dear friend. 

It wasn’t “fine” per se. 

But he was putting in the hard work.

Hitting the gym, improving his lifestyle, deleting bad habits…

In short, he wasn’t the type to Thailand it on the first run (no offense).

So it was only a matter of time before he found his match. 

Yeah…

We’ve all been burnt before boys. 

But keep executing your vision. 

You’ll be alright.
