i took an L trading stock options last year and lost 6K when the S&P500 tanked (was killing shyt but then I fell down a slippery slope). That was a summer's worth of savings gone but I've managed to bounce back and hit 12K worth of savings less than 7 months later while helping my parents pay their mortgage mind you.
It would've been harder to do that if I had a steady girlfriend. But yo peep this.
If a girl really really likes you, and you establish that you're a leader, responsible and a hot commodity whose time is precious then it doesnt matter how frugal or cheap you are...a good woman will fall in line and take heed. There is no reason to feel pressure to spend bread on a girl. After a while they become happy just to spend time with you because
A) They know the reason for your cheapness is because you got bigger plans and they wanna be a part of said plans
B) Basking in your presence is satisfactory enough because it's rare...low supply...high demand = higher perception of value
I'm not saying propose a netflix and chill whenever you and a girl you're courting meet up. But communicate your busyness and finesse a situation where you agree to have a date night once a month or something. Works wonders. It's only when a girl sees you and talks to you so often that she becomes bored and then requires doing shyt out of the ordinary.
shyt ...
I remember a 3 month period where I smashed 3 girls last year.
Girl 1: Most I spent on her was LITERALLY a sundae from DQ. Second time we met up I smashed. Shortly after I had this girl trying to impress me with her cooking and bringing ME food when we would kick it. She was a bit too quiet and I like girls who I can talk to about real life shyt; girls I can educate but still learn from. She was too...bland so I deaded it.
Girl 2: Hmmm...First date we went to Salad King and then walked downtown and conversed. Cost about 25 bucks between the two of us. Smashed shortly afterwards...dont think I ever took her on a real date though after. She would either come to the crib or we would meet up after work and just shoot the shyt and catchup. She was on my dikk heavy, but she just wasnt good enough for me to wife. Eventually my arrogance and lack of feelings for her caught up to me and bit me in the ass and she cut me off lol.
Girl 3: Took her to Ripleys Aquarium for the first date. About $55 bucks between us. Smashed that date...(best fukk/head of my life) and the vibe was so bless that she would love just coming over and kicking it with the kid. Didnt matter if I was studying, working from home, watching basketball, watching TV or whatever. She wanted to come over to see a nikka and get this dikk. We got serious and would go on dates once a month. Who paid for the date alternated every month.
Lot of text i typed. But in summary...YOU'RE YOUNG! GET OUT THERE AND fukk THESE HOES. Just dont let them dupe you or run game on you. Keep your antenna up. You can focus on stacking bread, improving your physicality, mentality etc and still get at these hoes. It isn't difficult. Just dont go clubbing and shyt...meet women as you go about your day.
Yo first of all thanks for taking the time to type all of this out. What you are giving is good advice but I feel like some of it doesn't map so well on to my situation. First of all, it's not just a money thing it's a time thing. Just to get a bit of a boost I'm going to need to take most of my evenings and some significant time during the weekend off. & the girls thing, i'm still trying to get used to trying to catch girls from everywhere. honestly i haven't been very successful but i've become an animal sort of. i was at an end of year party for a club im part of a couple of days ago and i was just vicious in there. hitting on the photographer chick and these two other girls. it was so natural and effortless .... lol, i was thinking to myself like damn what happened to the old me??
anyways i will keep approaching women but i'm not expecting home runs or anything like that. which suits me

im horrible with girls (right now) but i feel like other aspects of my life more than make up for this one deficiency. hang on the coli too long you will start thinking p*ssy is the only thing that matters. talking to my buddy yesterday helped me broaden my perspective. if i just take a month or two to really focus on some applications, side projects, etc, it could really pay off big time.
& we gotta have a talk about investing fam. cuz i wanna dip my toe into it. i have a lot of savings but want to try investing a little bit. losing 6K is a pretty big deal IMO but im glad you were able to bounce back from it. i will catch you on PM some time with specific questions.
). That was a summer's worth of savings gone but I've managed to bounce back and hit 12K worth of savings less than 7 months later while helping my parents pay their mortgage mind you.
im cool with that. I have about 4 papers due next Wednesday myself.
