I have read the article "6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You into a Better Person," by David Wong. I appreciate what he was trying to say, but I do not think the article applies to me.
It contains information that is supposed to at least help me to get on the right track for the only thing I really want out of life: a significant other. And the gist of it is to produce something the world can use. The article seems to be targeted to schlubs that have no diet/exercise habits and no prospects for a career.
I remember that I have asked myself many times "Why don't I have a girlfriend?" The answer, from myself, was always "You are not good enough." It was what I used to make the world seem like a fair place. The reason why I did not have a girlfriend was always because I was too fat or just not successful enough at whatever.
Now I have the choice of a research internship in computer science or a scholarship to learn Chinese. I lift weights with wild abandon. I have a guaranteed job in the military, supposedly the type of job our society respects the most. I can out bench, squat, and deadlift 99% of the population in America, and have the body to prove it.
Am I not good enough?
