I've accomplished things in my life that most people never even attempt because it's "too hard." I've endured my share of trials and tribulations. I've paid my dues a thousand times over. I've journeyed through hell on foot, and made it back out again, and still managed to put an occassional smile on my face.
Yeah yeah, trials over come and all. Good stuff. Probably describes 86% of the population. Average. Bland. Like a bowl of soggy cherrios without any fruit.
You're not putting in a job application, you're trying to find a girl. The whole "I've been to hell and back" line is dead. Maybe you should try dancing. Or become a good conversationalist.

Seduction is a matter of making yourself into a fascinating object. Not to simplify your love life.

Think of it this way. Instead of all the reasons why you 'deserve' a girlfriend, instead try to think of the reasons why a girl would want to spend time with you. Once you've got it, run with it.
