The Jester's Blog: Are You Dependent?

Are You Dependent?

In my previous post from last year, ?Stay Sober, Close Women?, I covered most of the bases of why one is better off keeping substances OUT OF their body while attempting to meet and mingle with the opposite sex. It comes as no surprise how many human beings are sheep when it comes to addiction of some kind. And the interesting thing to observe for me personally is how one?s commitment to their addiction remains steadfast regardless of how much self-improvement jargon they swallow in this PUA subculture. Every day one shouts ?I?m gonna become a PUA!? with a sick desperation in their voice, a glass of liquor in one hand and a cigarette in the other. It?s not that different from the pride countless spectators give themselves when ?their? sports team wins. Did they help the team win? No, they weighed their couches down while filling themselves with crap. Dating Coach, David Wygant, who for those of you don?t know is the same fella Will Smith?s character was based off of in the film ?HITCH?, has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to surrounding himself with drunken buffoons. In fact, I have even more respect for Dave after reading that because I am pretty firm about screening those I allow into my social circle, as well as my singles events in Los Angeles. Heavy users of (insert substance here) needn?t apply. But he goes even further and separates himself completely from the group the moment beer bottles start opening. Considering how many singles events I?ve hosted and attended that have had open bars, or at the very least some wine, that eliminates a huge percentage of what could be great opportunities. But again, you can only admire a grown adult who stays true to HIS preferences and doesn?t bend for anyone. And that?s especially difficult when you?re talking about friends with whom you share a history. So as I?ve stated many times before ? if you do in fact claim to be pursuing self-improvement, then challenge yourself to take that so-called ?liquid confidence? and reproduce it while completely sober. For until this is achieved the fact remains, you?re dependent.?
