We've all heard this load of BS before; if you work hard and show merit, then you'll be the successful one. Study hardest in school, go to church, drink milk, do what adults tell you.
And then when you are an adult, you'll be the most successful person. People will respect you for how nice you are to them. Success will just come to them.
We all know the truth. The stoner/ druggie asshole in school can easily have the best life afterward depending on what job they go into. And other guys, who follow the traditional path of avoiding vice, college, etc; they can end up as middle-class emotional wrecks, at best.
If I could do high school over again, I'd DEFINITELY be one of the drunk/ drug/ class-skipping ones. It's a hell of a lot funner, and in the end no one really cares about the good kid anyway.
Same with dating. Women/ girls don't actually want the respectful/ clean-cut/ hard-working/ good character guy. They care about two things: physical appearance, and... no, that's actually it. I was gonna say money, but how many billionaires get raped in divorce for that to be true? You can be the "good guy" in that equation, but at best you'll end up as the step-dad, simp, or the "best friend" that she doesn't want to hang with. I've been 2 of those.
There's this youtube channel called Ethereal Fox, and he has a video series about Elliot Rodger. He says that one of Elliot's problems was that he "didn't develop his character". Does this clown know? I wouldn't advocate harassment or threats, but we should go to his videos and say that character doesn't mean anything, because it really doesn't.
The "if you work hard you'll succeed" myth applied to dating
