Making more friends is a goal.
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
Why am I attracted to older men?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
