“So it is true that, when properly socially programmed, a man will date socially approved women with more gusto and dedication than unapproved women, even if those women suck. It is as important as the sex itself, for a man to be with someone their respective herd approves of.”
Patrice Oneal used to call those girls “The Uniform”; girls you choose because you know your friends and family will approve of. I think every guys does it in the beginning and only later when we gain confidence are we strong enough to choose what we want.
I suggest avoiding the uniform because you run the risk of making relationship decisions based not only on your own insecurities and flaws; but also upon the collective flaws and “issues” of all your family and friends.
You can do bad by yourself.
