Yes but he also said that we'll only attract girls that are on our "frequency" (he used a radio analogy). That sounds an awful lot like soulmates to me, especially if you get super strict.
Combine that with the anti-sniper warding off "unnacceptably unhappiness causing" and it could easily leave you with no women except those who are EXACTLY like you.
I'm not saying that's what's going on, but it's possible, and another reason why I think the anti sniper needs tweaking.

You created your own truth and lived that reality. Coming off dmsi you lost that as resistance resurfaced as well as old beliefs about your attractiveness.
Here's my theory. DMSI is so powerful you can basically live 2 mindsets at once. Your self defeatists one and the empowering one. Whichever one you feed more grows. If you leave dmsi and that defeated side is more prominent it self regenerates and pushes out the positive.
Interesting theory.
To me, there are certain things that NEED to be done (like relating to the girl for example) and if you can't do that, it doesn't matter what your beliefs are.
You can believe that if you jump off the top of a skyscraper without any parachute you'll survive, but you won't.
Personally, I don't see that as being self-defeatist at all. It's just common sense.
