Mate
pioneer of "fratire" and a leading evolutionary psychologist team up to create the dating book for guys Whether they conducted their research in life or in the lab, experts Tucker Max and Dr. Geoffrey Miller have spent the last 20+ years learning what women really want from their men, why they want it, and how men can deliver those qualities. The short answer: become the best version of yourself possible, then show it off. It sounds simple, but it's not. If it were, Tinder would just be the stuff you use to start a fire. Becoming your best self requires honesty, self-awareness, hard work and a little help. Through their website and podcasts, Max and Miller have already helped over one million guys take their first steps toward Miss Right. They have collected all of their findings in Mate, an evidence-driven, seriously funny playbook that will teach you to become a more sexually attractive and romantically successful man, the right way: - No "seduction techniques" - No moralizing - No bullshit Just honest, straightforward talk about the most ethical, effective way to pursue the win-win relationships you want with the women who are best for you. Much of what they've discovered will surprise you, some of it will not, but all of it is important and often misunderstood. So listen up, and stop being stupid!"

What Hacker News says
- +1 to CrossFit. It pulled me through the birth of my youngest daughter, three job switches in a fairly short amount of time and the pandemic. Like others have said, it will not solve all your problems, but it will definitely make you feel better about yourself.
I actually came to CrossFit through reading Tucker Max's book "Mate" (ISBN-10: 0316375365) which I also recommend you read. Good luck brother.
- Read and internalize "Mate" by Tucker Max (search for ISBN 9780316349437 on Amazon, no affiliation). I read it when I was already happily maried. But this is the book I wish I read when I was about your age and that I seriously consider giving to my now 13-year old son as soon as he reaches the appropriate age. And assuming he will accept that kind of advice from his father off course :) I also enjoyed the accompanying podcast that you may find here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-mating-grounds-pod...
