Attention is the most important resource a man has--more important than time itself--so I do not choose to squander it by granting it to that which is not deserving. You move towards what you aim at. Indulging in loser literature no doubt rewards in its own currency.

This anon is right in that a relationship can't fix you if you're broken. A good women can provide assistance in the process (and a bad one can make it infinitely worse), but you ultimately have to walk the walk yourself in any case. Otherwise instead of being alone and depressed you will be balls deep in qt cupping her supple breast at night in your hands and still depressed, probably even more so.
