Chapter 1: Understanding the Challenge

"Steve, why is it so difficult for me to find a girlfriend?" This question echoes the sentiments of many who have faced similar struggles.

Nearly 35 years ago, a friend named Otis expressed his frustration to me. "Why can't I find a girlfriend?" he lamented.

I paused and replied, "What qualities do you bring to a relationship?"

After a moment's reflection, he responded, "Well, I’m kind, a good listener, and a loyal friend." He was correct; Otis possessed one of the most generous hearts I had ever encountered. Yet, he remained trapped in the "friend zone," where one person desires a deeper connection while the other does not. It was a painful situation, one many can relate to. I saw the genuine anguish in his eyes.

He was experiencing what is often termed as Involuntary Celibacy, completely lost in navigating the complexities of romantic relationships. As I contemplated his situation, I spoke words that would profoundly impact both of our lives.

What if we utilized the Three Gates and the MAGIC Formula to enhance our understanding of relationships? While we had previously applied these concepts to the SOULMATE PROCESS, it became clear that we needed to simplify our approach—helping men learn how to engage with women.

Many men, particularly teens and those in their early twenties, grapple with this challenge. Others might face shyness or neurodivergence, making it difficult for them to grasp the dynamics of human connections. Then there are those who have recently exited long-term relationships and feel out of practice.

I’ve experienced all three scenarios at different points in my life. After being asked countless times to share my journey from a clueless young man to someone celebrating 25 years of love, I realized there was a missing piece: clarity.

Part of the challenge stemmed from my hesitation to speak openly, fearing backlash from those who profit off misunderstandings about gender and sexuality. However, I have grown weary of this dynamic. Now that I am "out of the game," I feel empowered to share my insights, especially for my son who is approaching adulthood.

In crafting a straightforward guide on ethical seduction, I aim to provide the final pieces of the adulthood puzzle.

Yogic teachings spanning six millennia emphasize that nothing is more vital than our connections with others—beyond even survival. The absence of emotional and sexual intimacy can lead to significant fear and depression. Unfortunately, many men are baffled by these concepts.

So, I wrote a book with a title that cuts through the confusion, designed to guide individuals from beginner to mastery—if they are willing to put in the effort.

Involuntary Celibates, or "Incels," often find themselves in a toxic environment that muddles their understanding of relationships. Recognizing that anger often stems from fear can illuminate why I felt compelled to create a resource for young men to refer back to in times of confusion.

This is my "message in a bottle" to my younger self and others navigating this tumultuous journey. Each of us faces pivotal moments in life that impart hard-earned lessons, but we emerge on the other side.

If you're walking a similar path, know that you will also find your way through.

I estimate it will take about 100 days to reach clarity—ten days to read my book, one chapter each day, followed by daily practices for three months. I assure you that if you commit to this process, your perspective on relationships will be irrevocably transformed. You will move towards healthy emotions, love, passion, and a profound sense of self-acceptance.

There is no room for guilt or shame, but you must take responsibility for your actions. This is what I refer to as "response-ability"—the capacity to respond proactively to life’s challenges.

If you are ready to undertake this journey, I have developed what I call an "Incel Cure." You may wonder if this is achievable. I can confidently say that every creature in nature finds a partner; it should not be so complex for humans.

Yet, our instincts are often tangled with societal beliefs, values, and pressures, complicating our natural desires for connection.

Tomorrow, I will share how you can begin this transformation for yourself or someone you care about.

Namaste,

Steve
