    Men become feral if left alone long enough. They identify with the mountains and the moss. They smoke their pipe tobacco while looking longingly along a river. They maintain weight for the winter. They become one with the universe. Then they become horny and the great cycle continues

        It means the impetus that drives you to improve yourself or even maintain yourself comes from other people, rather than self-regulation.

        In your case, social status, specifically social approval from women you find attractive.

        There’s nothing wrong with that. Sounds like you just need to maintain contact with those types of people to stay motivated. Shouldn’t be too hard to arrange.
