BALANCE BALANCE BALANCE. Yes.Get a vasectomy, party and go have fun.
You're 21. Enjoy it. There's more to life than just making money.
That aside ... who ever said the two ideas were incompatible ...?
Why pick when you can do both ...?
It's all about balance.
Some guys want to get into business to get rich to get girls. Bad idea. Get rich to build the lifestyle you want. Here's my advice:
If you want to get good at something you have to only focus on one thing at a time. If you want to get good with girls, then take two months and go out and only focus on getting girls. After that, put girls aside or get a gf and only focus on business for 6 months. Oscillate whichever you feel is a higher priority. Eventually you can learn to balance both.
My story. I'm 23. Went to engineering school in a small shitty town from age 18-22. Barely partied. Towards the end of school I slept with a handful of girls, had a gf. I felt like I was missing out. In your 20's you should be having sex.
Towards the end of junior year I got into PUA (I know you hate this MJ lol). After school I moved to a party city and went out 5 nights a week (didn't drink much at all), 3 months straight. Friends and I would chase girls non stop. Pull them home from bars/the streets for one night stands. Sometimes I would sleep with a girl after knowing her for 10 minutes. Confidence soared through the roof. I achieved abundance with women. Was able to go up to any hot girl anywhere. People always tell me now that my eye contact is unwavering and intense. People gravitate towards me now because they can tell I'm killing it in all areas of life.
I didn't get anything done with business progress. I don't regret the experience I got, however.
I started working in another great city. Partied a lot until I got sick from going out too much, literally. Realized that chasing girls is a low return of investment of time if you keep doing it consistently. I fulfilled that area of my life--put it aside. Now I want to immerse myself in business. I'm not doing business to get rich to get girls. I'm doing business to get the LIFESTYLE I WANT.
