As the title says. I'm turning 33 in a few weeks, and in repair mode from a decade of nihilism and stupid choices. Once I hit 30, I realized this is serious, and I no longer have some endless infinite amount of time in front of me... made a lot of drastic decisions like ghosting all of my deadbeat friends, and establishing something long term for myself. Fast forward to now, I have a pretty good career in software development and started a small home repair type business which could hopefully turn into something big as time goes on. Mentally I'm in a far better place as well, with a positive outlook on the future. But the truth is, I'm lost with finding a quality girl, and part of me feels like its too late as its something I had to figure out in my late teens or early 20's.

With that said, what traits or actions should I (or anyone) possess to increase the odds of finding someone who is a keeper? This place has a way with honesty and bluntness, which is exactly why I'm asking this here. Thanks.

Stoicism is the answer. The best advice you could ever receive about women is simply this: put zero, absolutely zero stock in to anything that comes out of any woman's mouth. Court attention at all cost. The only time to defend yourself is in public when your reputation is at immediate risk. This is the only time you're allowed to apologize. Going to women for advice is like a hunter asking a rabbit how it'd like to be shot. You seriously think it's going to tell you? You ask another hunter, "hey, man, can you show me how to get better at hunting?"

If you do nothing else, quit masturbating and using porn, work out with no exceptions at least five times a week, actually read some damn books and get your money going. Quit your job and get that business up and running. Be financially independent. Now, as for finding women that might be worth it - good luck. Let me know when you find a good place. To be a little more serious though, women are very malleable. Find one that doesn't have tattoos and seems to dress with some modesty. Screen early on by asking about how she feels about the internet at large. Inquire about how many kinds of social media she uses. Ask how often she's on tiktok, twitter, instagram, etc. Ask if she's done online dating before (instant next on a yes). Keep in mind, there's many out there that don't use them.

Other than that just wear clothes that fit, wear something that smells nice, smile at people and be willing to talk to someone even if someone might hear you. If you can do those things while not being fat, especially if you're just in basically good shape, you're doing better than the vast majority of guys out there. Last thing: women can always tell if you're low T. Notice the shit test and either agree and amplify or just give a simple chuckle.

What’s the shit test

Well, in reverse of what many seem to typically guess, it's actually an indication of interest of some kind. A woman will never give someone attention if they're indifferent. The only exception is when she gathers simps. A shit test, to be short, is a challenge of your ability to guide, protect or provide. If you do not pass, you're just some other uninteresting simp of which there is no shortage. What is in shortage, however, in most women's minds these days, if nothing else, is a man that can guide, protect or provide. You aim is to fall in the latter category; at least to interest her enough to explore you further.

Just remember, all publicity is good publicity. If a woman tells you how disgusting you are, you win (but maybe you should dial it back a little so people don't begin to conspire at your expense). If you make them gasp, you win. If you arouse them, you clearly win. If you anger them, you win again. If you trigger them, you still win.

*as a side note: Women are conquered, not won.
