Once a month isn't bad for your age range, don't let that discourage you. It does sound like you need to improve your game and I suspect a lot of that is your attitude. You need to enter every interaction with a woman with very low expectations, be outcome independent.

I agree with your point that most women are pretty worthless, and if you do not enjoy sex with these women feel free to ignore them and reject them as it will only increase your social status. Just don't be afraid to talk to them or approach them and screen them to see if they are the kind of girl you're interested in.

If you want someone who is more compatible, go enjoy hobbies you like and meet women through that. Go to the library and book stores and see what books women are reading, if you find one that enjoys something you also enjoy you might have some common ground and she might interest you more. After that you need to use the same redpill strategy which is to invest very little, have a date preferably with 3 venues AND NO dinner or movie. Break the touch barrier, push and pull, polarize the conversation, make her qualify herself, hit her with compliance tests, squash shit tests. You know the fucking drill by now I hope.

I get that you don't want to wait until your 30s for your peak SVM, but take it from a guy who's gone through what you've gone through. It's not like a switch and you're suddenly better with women at that age. As time passes you become more experienced, more IDGAF and more outcome independent and your game will improve significantly, the key is not to give up and become black pilled or some blue pilled cuck. Just keep improving yourself and do it for you not to attract women, they will come sooner or later, you won't have to wait that long.

Meanwhile when I hit on girls I hold their attention for 10-15 seconds before my bad vibe throws them off

try to run different game than you do now, try different scenarios. Dick, brutal, direct, geek, EMO, dress accordingly so there's some congruence.

Don't believe too much in religious girls. Sometimes it is cover up for bigger problems and /or slutiness [my experience]. Theres simply too much going on for them to stay well behaving. I was just wit one that was listening to preaching online, having picture of saint [was +30yo]. She was insisting she does not wear slutty stuff [or overly feminine]. Unluckily for her I just ended relationship with another praying, secret branch swinger and had good insight. Also I did internet research on her and it took about 10 min to find out she liked fairly skipmy stuff some time before.

If you want any security from religion move to Muslim country after building assets. I doubt there is girls left without some sort of cock carousel in past. They all go to school.

Before you move on about your thoughts about marriage/kids read divorce subreddit, read. This advice should be [maybe is ] in sidebar, essential. BUt sidebar will not show you the real stories and their numbers. Even if youre not sure about divorces then that is a good read https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/s9dkpr/learning_to_run_through_hell/

And do not believe in 'if youre alpha enough you will make it'. This is just putting in front of you the challenge to make you beta again - in a different way.

This challenge is not for you to undertake, you will work in someone else's frame by accepting challenge.

Remember, betas are smart people but you can't be specialist in everything. They have never learnt about relationship otherwise - only reason they are betas at the beginning. Some of them change because they are smart and shown the truth.

Go watch Kevin Samuels. That's how you deal with them. Knock the pedestal out from under them. You're at a pretty low point in your SMV curve and they're at their peak. You're basically a gamble at this point and they want to wait at the finish line for a ready-made winner.

The obvious solution is to use ridicule-reframe when they shit test you. Another practical thing to do is learn to game them. Then you could also do orthodontics and plastic surgery if you want. These are objective, real world actions.

hold their attention for 10-15 seconds before my bad vibe throws them off. The obvious answer is that I have shit game which is probably true but I think it's deeper than that.

Bad vibe won't help matters. If YOU think it's bad, she certainly will.

I think the problem is that I'm wired differently. I've had enough casual sex to know that it's meaningless and doesn't make me happy. So I just don't try. What satisfies me is having a hot feminine girl that I have an emotional connection with. I couldn't care less about fucking another slut named Crystal or Chantel.

Great, but you need to find girls and approach them in a way that this will happen.

Unfortunately in the modern world with the decline of religion and rise of social media these girls (relationship material ones) are so rare that the competition is insane.

Rare yes...... but the competition is not worse than for other girls. Reason is: the girls who want that are about as rare as the guys who want that.

Yeah I could wait until my SMV peaks at 35

It doesn't peak automatically at 35. It peaks at 35 when guys have spent 20 years MAKING It peak.

To bring this back to the title I am in my last year of college

Girls that age are playing social circle game. You're probably on the edge of that social circle, so you're halfway there, ,but they're most interested in the guy their friends are interested in, the jocks, etc. It's almost incestuous and brutally difficult if you don't have conventional looks or lead the football team.

Girls are also kinda your equals at that point, and girls are not interested in equal. When you're a bit older than them, can do shit they can't, are more confident, more popular, and earn 10x more than boys her age:: then you can stand out in other ways than looks. Social dominance, funny, talk well, physique, etc. You can build that in the next few years and be more attractive than guys your age, therefore get more girls the age you are now. But socially it's harder because you're still not on the football team.

Every day I feel like shit because I'm wired to desire something that is fundamentally unattainable, and my friends get it for free and take it for granted.

Honestly yes, that's super fucking tough.

Meanwhile: build yourself, your career, your LIFE. Work on girls, they'll get easier and better and hotter over time.

What are some objective, real world actions that I can take to overcome this mental barrier and improve my quality of life?

Lift like a mofo.

Work on self acceptance, world acceptance, stoicism, meditation.

Recognise that you are being a little hypocritical: college girls are the absolute most attractive girls that there are. They aren't top 10%, they are top 2% over the age range 18-40. You want the very best for yourself, but you don't have the very best to offer them.

This sucks for you at age 20, but it's fucking awesome when you're an attractive self made man at 40 while she's saying "why the fuck don't you date women of my age any more???"

Join Toastmasters or whatever to improve your speaking.

Get involved in something/anything outside of college!

Meet girls in real life. They aren't all on Tinder, get out there and meet the ones who are as interested in a genuine connection as you are.

Bro live for yourself I know it's harder when you're early 20's. I now do the things I do to improve myself because it makes ME feel good. I used to lift when I was younger for a month and if the girls didn't notice I'd give up.

I know it feels like you may as well kill yourself now but when you get into your 30's you stop giving a fuck so much about the things you can't control and focus more on the shit you can. It just takes time, a bit of loss and pain to work all that out.

Just keep at it bro you will be fine. Set yourself up now for a good life regardless of what the sluts are doing.
