> they want better than a good girl and they themselves aren't good enough to obtain this.
Many men & women out there believe they are due an extraordinary wife or husband when they themselves are anything but extraordinary. Becoming someone worthy of greatness tends to make the rest fall into place, but that takes will & effort and most who wish for the easy path have neither.
>These men are going to be forever unhappy and that's fine.
Agreed, and happiness shouldn't be a goal anyway because happiness is a fleeting feeling. The goal should be contentment, and contentment isn't found in another person (though that is usually where people seek it) it is found in a life well lived, building oneself in breadth of ability & experience (and the knowledge & wisdom gained from both) yet never being completely content because the journey itself is the triumph.
Contentment is also found in lower testosterone that happens naturally over time or in death.
The goal should simply be living the life you want to live. If you aren't living how you want to live but are instead depressed and complaining then you have a problem. Take action to live how you want to live. That should be the goal. Never stop acting how you want to act. Nothing comes easy in life, especially to those who want exceptional men or women. You need to constantly be acting.
