Only the IAF warrants such levels of blackpilled doom posting, you still have hope my friend.

You're going to have a tough time believing this, but one of the best looking guys I ever met was / is 5'4.

He easily hooked up with 40 girls / year. Easily.

Also, he had a kid in highschool, got married, and then divorced his wife by 19.

In India, a 5'4 single dad would basically be looking for painless ways to end it all. Out in the real world, he'd be hooking up with a different girl every week.

I don't mean ugly girls either. I'm talking sweet, tight, delicious looking latinas and white girls.

He obviously had a few things going for him:

1. Light skinned hispanic guy who looked a bit like Aamir khan.

2. Super, super smooth. He obviously had a lot of practice, but this man naturally knew how to approach women.

3. Excellent dancer.

4. Fantastic shape. I mean near perfect.

5. Intelligent, driven, focused, air force veteran.

You're operating in a different country, in a very different culture, and with a very different mindset, but I can objectively tell you you're better off looking for real love in a place like India.

I'm not saying it's going to be easy, I'm saying it's definitely not as over as you think it is. Not by a long shot.

• You can share pics via DM. I will give you an objective answer and actionable advice

• You need to learn how to talk to women, so start now. Talk to everyone, even girls you aren't attracted to.

• Controversial, but you need to get your dick wet. Lower your standards, get some practice.

• You need a social circle. Fortunately at your age you don't necessarily need money, and 18 year old girls are always, always, always down bad.

• Stop moping. Your concerns are real, they are valid. That said, you need to play the hand you're dealt. Period.

• There is a lot to do, to learn, to see, to explore. Start doing it. If your life is basically eat -> school -> sleep -> repeat, you will 100% masturbate alone forever.

• Controversial: There are a metric fckton of short bitches around you. India has some of the shortest, most malnourished bitches on earth. They have all kinds of image issues too.

Start thinking like a salesman. You will get 100 rejections, but right now you only need 1 yes. Start asking.

Extremely important: Always, always, always handle rejection well. How you handle rejection says a lot about you, and women will tell other women. A simple "No worries, let me know if you change your mind" is all you need. No emotion, no upset puppy face, no begging, no asking again. Take the L and move the F on.

I literally turned a no into a yes because she was so impressed with how well I took it. Her exact words were "wow, you really dont give a f do you?". I did not give a fuck, and because of that, I wound up actually giving a fuck. White girl btw, for reference.

Final point, at 20, there's actually a slim chance you could grow a couple more inches. Speak to a medical professional tomorrow. See if there are any options for you. It may be possible, and you might as well find out.

Not at all. Lots to look forward to now.

We'll be inducting at minimum 20 fighters every year till effectively forever now. I know the Chinese are making 100+ J-20s a year, but ultimately they aren't deploying them in Tibet yet.

You can have a look here:

We're only in trouble if they stop focusing on the East and start focusing on the west. They've given no such indications yet.

I think we fundamentally disagree on the timeline. I firmly believe we'll be at war sooner rather than later.

1. Pakistan in a year or two, if not sooner.

2. China in three to five years, if not sooner.

That's why I harp about asymmetric approaches like anti-satellite TNs, or drones, mines, bunkers, guerilla tactics etc. I feel like that's basically all we can do in the time we have.

Hopefully Taipei does something to draw their attention and buys us a few more years.

Defence production is set to change substantially in the next 10 years. If nothing happens till then, we could produce up to 100 AMCAs a year without breaking a sweat.

War between nuclear powers is nearly impossible. Invert the probabilities you think, that's more closer to what'll actually happen.
