Okay, I'm gonna tell you right now - you have a struggle, and you're only allowed ONE. In your case, it's your height.

So what do you do?

Well, right now, you're 18. You stop thinking about pussy because you are unable to compete at this point in your life. Women your age are fucking the tall hot studs, the established older men, or the bad boys. You are none of the above.

Right now, you need to focus on maximizing the shit you can control:

GET YOUR MUSCLES RIGHT. You need to get women out your head. You're lifting to make your body better for you and that's it. It won't be easy or fun. You don't see results until about 6 months in a real training program. Spend your time looking up diet and fitness programs to use since you don't know shit about lifting.

GET YOUR MONEY RIGHT. You should be spending your time pursuing your education and employment opportunities. You don't want to be short, fat, and broke in your 30s. I've seen it, it's horrible.

You are young, and fortunate to have found a resource like TRP early. The answer to what to improve now is simple yet daunting: everything.

Lifting is a fundamental aspect of manliness in this day and age, it's good that you've started. To begin with, start with a simple program like Starting Strength. Do it 3 times a week while following a good diet and getting enough sleep and you will see solid progress.

For dieting focus on getting enough protein (aim for 0,9 gram per lb bodyweight per day) and eating enough total calories for your goal of either cutting or bulking. For sleep get at least 7,5 hours a night. It will do wonders for your health and mind too.

It's only normal to focus a lot on girls at your age, but it really is going to only get easier as you grow older. So dont let it derail you from your main goals of building a great life.

Do your best in school and if you want to get a higher education, make sure to do your research so you know it will grant you a good lifestyle and a good income. Consider starting businesses. Work while in school. Limit your free time and dont procrastinate.

Think less, do more. There's no point in philosophising over why you aren't getting girls, whether your body can improve, or your workout plan isn't good enough, before you've actually gone and done it, and kept it up consistently for a few months at least. Do the basics, then you can think about stuff, coming from a better head space.

The macro level TRP stuff can be depressing as shit if you're already in a bad mental state, unable to frame it into something positive for you. Your general mood is a determining factor as to whether you frame something as an opportunity, or a death sentence. So set some simple, basic targets first (a.k.a. lifting), and experience the joy of actually doing what you set your mind to (a.k.a. mastery), before you dive down the rabbit hole of hypergamy, dual mating strategies and whamen be like this.

Date down. Hit up high school girls.
