Real talk.

One of the most recurring advice here is "ditch your loser friends".

They see it for a reason.
You can't climb a mountain with an anchor chained to your back, could you?

Here's my story

Up until 18 y/o I was a beta and a loser with ugly loser friends

They had no social skills, neither did I.
I attracted some chicks because I looked good, but they ran away very fast after discovering who I hang out with.
"Tell me who's your friend and I'll tell you who you are".

We never went to parties or hit on girls. We would watch movies

Or play video games and talk about meaningless shit like the last iPhone and how Samsung is shit.

Eventually during my service I woke up and realized they're not the company I want, but I kept them around.

Guess what? I couldn't grow beyond their level until I said goodbye.

Many fear being alone.
And want to keep their loser friends around until they find something better.

Being alone > being with losers.

You can't pick up diamonds when you're clenching stones in your hands .

You need to create opportunities for a better social circle.

Once I made that decision and broke contact, my growth was exponential.

I lost my virginity within 3 months, started to hang out with Alpha dudes and on hit chicks.
Had access to insane social circles with hundreds of hot girls available.

Do u think they would accept my old me?

I'm not ashamed to tell where I came from. In fact, I'm proud to announce that.
I owned my life and made a change.

I know many are in similar position.

I'm not special, everyone can do it if they decide "enough is enough!"

Let losers be losers.

Find your winning circle

I know that many believe that cutting loser friends is what assholes do, and it's not "friendly".

This act of cutting them may not sound nice for them, but we don't care.
You are finally putting YOURSELF FIRST.
If they will own their shit, they'll improve and find you.

In the meantime? They're holding you back!

But what about helping them?

I've never met a man who managed to lift his entire social circle of losers up.

Remember, you can't rescue someone from a pit if you're down there with him. Lift yourself up and then throw a rope.
Goodluck
