Face it, most men are self-improving for sex and love. But modern dating has come to a point where women can contact Chads all over the world with their phone and actualize all their hypergamous instincts and fantasies. They never had as much societal power as now. So if you're not good enough compared to the modern feminine powertrip of grifting simps and the state to pay for your independent girlboss lifestyle and getting fucked until you can't walk by a different Chad every week in some 50-Shades-of-Grey-esque sexual utopia, you're not gonna have any reward for all your work.
In short self-improvement for males only works if you have the right stuff to become Chad.
