Why is it so hard to really live in a YOLO way?

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I try to tell myself "one day we'll all be dead, and none of this will even matter, so why not?" as motivation for like talking to a woman if I am scared of rejection or something... and I find it hard a lot of the time, because people are so dang mean so much.

Ego. Which is your idea of who you are. The world teaches us to crave acceptance and approval from others. The truth is you are already enough without being anything. Life is the gift. we make it into what it is. The world we are born into other's opinions make us into who we think we are. Try to come at yolo in a different way not like this is your only chance at life and your chasing greatness. Look at it like the gift of life was given to you and you choose to live now. Live every moment to its fullest because that's what you already decided your purpose was...

Hope this helps, i struggled with the same idea I've searched hard for a solutions and this is the best I've got

I'm just going by your age. You're probably coming to the realization that most effort with most women is wasted effort. Once you start getting to 35 and above. The power shift changes and the women that are left start asking men out (or those women just remain single). There's simply no reason to ask women out. Why guess which ones will recieve you well when she'll do it for you. By this age she's more likely to know what she wants and. ore importantly doesn't. Let her do the leg work.

I mean, I can ask out a 30-year-old or something.

Because TRUE "YOLO" can be very reckless and most people have obligations to others.

Because Yolo County is kind of boring, though it is within a couple hours of the Sierras and the Bay Area.
