Take a night course where lectures are mandatory. You'll realize you somehow make the time to attend class and do homework. Now just lead by example and keep making the time, but with your business instead.

I still say: if you're in a big city, the only person to blame about not meeting women is yourself. Be creative. Show girls that you're interesting and like to have fun. For fun I took an acting class in LA, another city of men. It was a sm

Let us suppose that all physics is solved, as you say. Then, why should we even ponder the "why" if there is no way of knowing the correct answer? If we cannot know this answer, then the "why" is in fact unimportant to divine, a waste of ti
