Break the cycle by spending a lot more time interacting with girls than reading or writing on the Internet. And when you are reading, avoid theory and focus on positive and practical game advice.
That's it right there.
Time spent on the internet can be vastly rewarding, but in the dangerously seductive waters of researchtainment, people-watching, and "reality" communication lie strong currents of dopamine and intermittent reward. The end result is more satisfaction than truth or progress.
Notice how deep-diving into something technical to solve a problem or to fix or build a physical item requires a deeper level of focus and intellectual honesty to achieve the end result. It's not about the dopamine or emotional epiphanies, it's grounded in truth.
Researchtainment is the ultimate cop-out -- it absolutely can help entertain and provide insight, but with enormous opportunity cost. Similar dopamine payoff to habitual porn-fapping?
