This is great. One thing though Steve, when you talk about weeding out weakness... I do that as well. I have a notebook full of hundreds of weaknesses I've discovered about myself and have weeded most of them out through constant effort. Like you say...Tough process.

The hardest weaknesses to discover were the ones hidden in what I perceived as strengths. In your blog post you talk about holding a piece of yourself back naturally from perfect women. It sounds to me a little like you are justifying an action. The thrill of the hunt (the strength you list here as to why it's never too late to meet women) has made you incapable of fully connecting with another human being.

I'm sure you are a man who is fully capable of ridding himself of habits so I won't offer advice on the subject. I just wanted to share with you a revelation I've had about discovering weaknesses and flaws in my character.

You cannot permit yourself to succumb to the love and warmth and fulfilment of a beautiful girl who would literally do anything for you. To hold a piece of yourself back from even your most perfect girl. Not deliberately, but naturally.

(Incidentally, holding yourself back is one of the things that can keep a girl on her toes, but god damn it’s not a technique, it’s not something you can learn or fake). It stems from this deep seated need to keep hunting and from a mindset of total abundance.

Of the clients I’ve met over the years and spoken to, the majority are not cut out for this. Or if they think they are, it is rapidly proven to them that they are not!

When I was in a relationship, I literally felt trapped, like a Tiger in a cage that is too small. I would literally clench my hands sometimes and go nuts trying to hold myself back from hunting.
