but I feel like everything I do is in vain when I'm not with a woman in the end.. So I feel like shit even when I do what I love
That's a good sign you haven't found it yet. What you described sounds more like something that feels good for you to do because of the approval it gets you.
When I'm on the bandstand with good players, i'm completely in my own universe and completely satisfied after. A bomb could go off in the place and i might not notice, and you better believe I don't feel like the end of the night 'sucked in the end' if a girl didn't notice. The type of music I play there aren't even girls there half the time
It is completely fulfilling because of the act itself even if I never made a cent. Ironically, this results in a level of commitment where I have no other job but to play, and I was willing to make the sacrifices (including sacrificing social life during periods of intense practice etc) to do this.
Some of the work I am involved with is becoming more and more focused on this area in particular. You definitely need to learn from guys who understand women and have social savvy etc - that is not to be discounted. However without being connected to passions etc, men become bored and unfulfilled and look to it in women. It's a WHOLE lot easier, if not a requirement, in being more indifferent/carefree on the women topic if you have something more important to give a shit about.
That thing can absolutely be 'working on yourself' but again that must have some direction, training and purpose in it, otherwise it's easy to turn into this vague "well i'm on working on myself right now" type of cop out.
At this point I notice that you have not followed up w/ me on the Skype stuff. Did you explore the first part of it yet? I find it interesting that you are posting things like this while having not taken up assistance being offered to you for free.
