I see that my wisdom is finally gaining acceptance in the mainstream,

In all honesty, I agree in principle with my typical saying and with Rhy. You are a pretty smart guy PVC and as long as you show that with confidence to the ladies, you will find the right girl for you.

Find some way to gain back your confidence. I wouldn't necessarily say you need to improve yourself physically but it just so happens that hitting the gym hard helps many people with confidence through physical improvement.

Cheer up buddy, we all have such heart breaks from time to time.
