A good woman will become a mirror of how you view yourself.

If you think of yourself as a bumbling idiot, she's going to think of you as a bumbling idiot, as she is going to grow tired of holding up your self-esteem for you. "A real man" is his own self-esteem.

If you think you are "the crap", a woman is going to test you by trying to bring you down a peg, and if you come down at all, you've already lost her. The only response is to think that you are even MORE of "the crap", and, if necessary, kick the woman who is constantly testing you to the curb to find one who views you as you view yourself: "the crap". If she views you even better than you view yourself, use that to create a new benchmark for your self-image/self-worth, and any woman who doesn't match that image, kick her to the curb.

Women crave achievers and resent settlers.

Neediness repels women more than anything.

If you can't be confident alone, you can't be confident with a woman.
