I really don't know how the guys who are claiming to have gone crazy and indulged in their own emotional abuse could have success with women. I know I went after girls while I was in my own emotional turmoil. Never actually resulted in sex except once, so that perplexes me
Don't be perplexed. It depends on your definition of "success." Women who just want a fling go for guys they don't value in any way save for a sexual experience (meaning the guy is low value). These same guys who tout their issues and say it helps them with women, it's like Shannon said - low value women that don't have anything going for them. So low value women and/or low value men. Furthermore, we don't really know what these women look like. They could be one-legged trolls.
Anyway, don't let it bother you (if it does). To me, success with women is totally different than those guys' definition. Having a healthy LTR with a high-value woman, that's the way to go. But if you bang a few others while you're waiting for that high-value relationship to come along, go for it . I'd rather be happy and healthy, and get sane/intelligent/beautiful women. The other scenario (coming to the conclusion that poor mental health = success with women) is riddled with logical fallacy.
