@Sub-Zero,
Men compare themselves on a lot of things:
- Height
- Muscles
- Money
- Looks
- Smarts
- Humor
- Cock size
- Popularity
- Partner counts
- Bedroom performance
- Hotness of their girlfriends/wives
- Grades/athleticism/success of their children
... just about anything else you can imagine.
It's obvious for you the main things are money and age. Presumably if you saw a 23-year-old roll up in a Lamborghini you'd turn green with envy, right?
You need to get good at something and take pride in it.
If you rank men on money, then never take time to get your money handled and are always broke, you've condemned yourself to loserdom.
Just like the guy with a tiny cock who ranks men by cock size is condemning himself to loserdom, and the short guy who ranks men by height is condemning himself to loserdom.
If the guy with a tiny cock gets good at picking up girls or good in bed and starts ranking himself on that instead of cock size, he is not going to care about having a little cock anymore.
If the guy who is short makes himself super popular and starts ranking people on popularity, he won't be bothered by his shortness anymore.
Figure out something you can get good at, get good at it, then measure yourself by that standard.
That's the quickest path out of feeling like you do not measure up.
The more complete path is letting go of one's attachments to status and rankings... which is tied to letting go of one's desires... achieving a certain level of Zen. There are some seducers who go this route; e.g., Duncan North, the famed short, overweight, broke Zen-like seducer the movie
The Tao of Steve is based upon.
Those are your two routes:
- Learn to rank yourself on something you're actually good at, or can get good at, instead of something you suck at
- Learn to let go of your desire for rank superiority, through letting go of needy desire overall (due a lot of meditation)
Choose which one is the route for you, and get to work on it.
