With every coming day my eyes have become more and more clear to the reality of the world. I am but flesh, bending and probing an inert, unfeeling world. I realize that there is no inherent "meaning" in the world other than that produced by the unknowable machinations of my consciousness: it is simultaneously nothing and insignificant yet infinite and all encompassing, impossible to find in the outside world as it is produced within myself. My goal is to align myself with my inner compass and seek a straight path through the void to infinity. Right now, my inner yearning is to seek to connect with other people, to love and suffer. Once I have that I will pursue my artistic pursuits to their finality, and once I am done with that I may starve myself in a monastery.

Anyway anyone have any tips on how to make friends?

Sometimes I have the idea that what I'm doing is having a battle of wits with some Platonic super ideal, that of Beauty, or Good, or True, and what I want from it is to present itself, and what it wants from my is my naiveté, my spontaneity. They say what God lacks is limitation. So here, in myself, is where the finite and the infinite meet, and my idea, like a Taoist, is to stand up and let it happen. And the thing is that I feel it everywhere when I'm not doing it right. I'm being selfish, I'm demanding too much control, and the spirit won't have it. That's not for me. My place is to be myself, with my ridiculous ignorance, and, well, to have faith.

PSA: Young women (college freshman for example) ARE LOW STATUS, so the status differential is to your advantage, as long as you're not a complete fuck up.

Now I get why guys in their 30s date really young women. Even if you were a fuck up in your teens and 20s, if you're halfway smart and not a completely retarded degenerate, you'll have a decent job, a car, some money, and hopefully learn how to groom and present yourself by the time you're in your 30s.

There are plenty of naïve 19 year old girls that you might come across that WILL compare you to the pothead bums in their community college class whose moms drop them off at school, for whom the only thing they know is video games.
So don't forget that as much as we might lament our relatively low status for our peer groups, maturity IS status to women.
