IMO most of the time I simped, I really wasn't that NICE of a guy. I was putting on a show my damn self trying to appear perfect. These were in my younger years, I've been single for like 4 years now just playing the field and it made me grow a pair.
The most mindblowing thing I've find amongst some of my simp peers is that they ALL allow something or someone else to have reign of their decisions. They are not in control of their own fate. Thus everything they do is to prove themselves as worthy. Thats why that nikka in your circle takes women out on nice dates, overthinking and overanalyzing everything, because they truly believe that deep down, they have to be perfect to be of value. As if perfection in their minds would lead to a woman falling head over heels when in actuality all it earns you is a spot on their roster, which you will not be the star player. Just a 6th man coming off the bench, getting less and less play time until a new free agent opens up, and they gotta cut you from the team.
You get out of life who you are, not what you do. Once I developed an identity of who I was, and worked on that. I no longer cared about appearance. Matter of fact, I take women one first dates to play putt putt golf for 10 bucks. And half of the time end up getting the draws on the first night. Im no longr into showing my worth, just showing that I know my worth.
That is what women respect nowadays. I know that with or wihtout them, Ima be gucci and I'm capable of replacing them fairly quickly. I ha a chick call me tonight and tell me shes upset with me (I recently cut her off last month) because I never told her how I felt about her. And thats the key, stop talking about it and be about it. I did care about her and she was of quality to take out and I did. Women will ony respect a man in control of himself. If you show that you will inconvience yourself or do whatever to please them you will lose everytime.
