I would say that masculinity really boils down to being focused, assertive, and overall stoic whenever life throws chaos your way. It's being able to handle your everyday responsibilities while also being emotionally mature enough to handle life's obstacles, and as it pertains to a relationship with a feminine woman it means being the leader and allowing her to be free in her femininity because it will lead to a much more happy and healthy relationship between the two.

Frankly thats crazy , as if a man is going tot be more worried about if he likes her than she likes him, think about it, the woman is getting several hundred offers a week minimum which is 77000 a year which is 1.3 million from the age of 16-35, set that against a guy who will get zero offers EVER and you have a power imbalance of nearly 1.5 million% in favour of the woman, so of course you are going to be nervous when the odds are stacked that much against you lol.

"Feels like options but aren't really options" She just single handedly described how female hypergamy being fueled by social media and dating sites can become a narcissism machine for a lady and severely limit her odds for anything more than a "situationship" in a sea of Chads and posers. Ultimately these two ladies are right in what they are eluding to: it's not natural to have so much exposure to flopportunities. For the ladies watching: if you found each other on social media and he got YOU, he can get HER on social media while he's with you just as easily. And of course turnabout is fair play: a man paying his due diligence to his situation almost subconsciously expects a woman he met on social media to be putting herself out for other men while she's courting him. If he's capable and steeled himself against the early stage onset of "one-itis" for that girl...he will continue to find and hook up with new, sexy InstaBabes. Potentially wrecking some really great opportunities.

Women have never had it so good, women always had all the power but like you said maybe they had power over 1-5 thosand guys in her life time, maybe up to 20 000, but now women have axcess to millions of guys, women are getting hundreds of offers a week, which is like 77 000 a year, which is 1.3 million from the age of 16-35 lol, women are lucky bastards, i genuinly cant believe women can complain about anything given how lucky they are.

Courtney- Though I have no interest in finding love through an app (some people do), I do find you offer solid advice on your channel and thus feel it's stuff that can be shared with others needing relationship insight. Good seeing Hallee again. The chart was spot on.

Choosing that person over and over again. That's a really strong message that goes overlooked.

Thank you! Hey, so I have been single for months, and at the point of the split, I had decided to really focus on reading, meditation, my health, next steps to improve my life and the like. I had zero interest in dating coming out of that 7-year relationship. I found your channel about two weeks ago. As I thumb through your videos, I feel such a rejuvenated joy towards women and myself again. I've always related to people who prioritize kindness and are inclined to constructive conversation. So many men seem to be out of touch when it comes to presenting themselves and understanding women's needs and preferences. Your work has helped me to reorient my goals and to rethink what type of man I am and want to be. I thank you a thousand times. What you do is fun, real and powerful.

I think women are going to have to make the first move a lot more going forward if they want to find successful relationships. The current climate is that any sort of advance from men is unwanted or harassment, so the good guys aren't taking the risk, while the bad guys ignore the rules anyway.

Many times women are attracted to the resources older men provide. Many women are not angels.

Finally women talking that there is such thing as toxic femininity. Still being very cautious and scared about it but please don't avoid the topic. When men bring it up we're automatically labelled misagonistic, so mature women calling out each others BS is the only way to balance things out.

7:40 this is something that I am always conscious about. I'm not void of emotions and am very conscious about them. I will express what I am feeling when appropriate, and will tear up when sad. I enjoy wholesome things and refuse to be emotionless. I avoid anger at all costs, but will communicate when frustrated or upset, and will do so in a non accusatory way. However, I worry that it comes off as feminine. I understand that having emotions is human and healthy, but it seems like culturally it is odd to see a guy who acknowledges emotions and tries to understand them instead of ignoring them.

Totally agree. Walking away gives so much freedom, to me is all about the truth, you tell the truth( and you accept the truth , whatever the outcome) I guess true love has a bit of that in it

This is one of the most important dating and relationship videos in all of the internet. Wish you made videos when I was younger, Great job.

Great video as always. Love that you're such a positive person and so authentic! Dating sites are a wasteland -women have far too many options and tend to overlook solid nice guys for frivolous reasons, or just abusing the system to get free meals or attention. These are tough issues to solve, but you are making a difference, and I always look forward to your content.

If a girl is actually interested in you, she will jump through hoops to be near you. If you have to text her multiple times per week before you get a response, that means she ain’t interested, and you should just move on. After you go radio silent on her, she may well come crawling back to you. The reason is because by you ignoring her, you subliminally signaled to her that you are alpha and that you don’t need her because you have options, which makes her start to chase after you. She is not actually interested in you as a person. She just wants to bend you. Women are weird this way. If what you are looking for is a serious adult relationship, do not give in to these games they play. Stay strong and ignore her.

And it’s the man’s and even the woman’s job to do a good job at pre-qualifying your dating prospects. Most will be toxic, broken, rude, and difficult. That shouldn’t diminish you as a man or make you perturbed. Out of 10 women, 1-2 will like you. Out of 100, 10 - 12 will go out with you. That’s just the average numbers for men. And that’s just the way it is. Stay busy on your purpose and you’ll eventually meet someone who will value you and your time. Best mindset to come from.

I’m stuck there too. Met her, went on some dates, had numerous encounters with her, and I’m kinda like what now. Does she like me? Is the interest still there or was in genuine to begin with? How do I pursue without chasing her off? Have a chased her off already without realizing it? Do I ask for another date? Are the signs she’s giving me now a hint at her level of interest or is she just being friendly? Holy damn the list goes on and on. People probably think I’ve complicated things but I really haven’t. When you meet someone and go along with dating, these things naturally come up and you get to know and observe the person you’re trying to date. You can’t just ask any question(s) you want regarding the ones above without risk of scaring her off or making her uncomfortable. I think dating either flows naturally for some but for others it naturally complicates itself. And yes, we humans can complicate it easily too. But in my situation neither of us have complicated it to a point it’s not repairable. Here’s an example or two. We met last November and went on 2 initial dates spaced out over a few weeks. I didn’t get a chance for a third date due to school and other factors. So by the time I got around to asking for a third date, she got sick in February and was out for a couple of weeks. After she came back, I asked her on the third date. Early March but she declined due to a knee injury. She didn’t say she didn’t want to but that her knee needed to heal first. I thought she was making it up and just left it alone. Then she was gone for over 6 weeks. I found out it was her knee she was taking a break from to heal. I saw her again last week after that 6 weeks and she waved and came over to speak to me. In that time we didn’t talk. I gave her space and let her do what she needed. She’s not a big texter anyway. She will respond to me very quickly but there isn’t much to her texts. So I prefer to talk to her in person. Point is I’m currently stuck in my infatuation for her and don’t know how to proceed. Another example is her twin sister. Night and day difference with personality. I met her back in November and I was introduced to her and she literally walked up to me, shook my hand, told me her name and expressed how she loved my height (6’3) and had this big smile on her face. Her sister just stood there with an OK look on her face. The twin was more upfront and expressive which made it easy for me to know how to respond. She straight up asked me if I was going to ask her sister out again and I honestly said yes. And I did. But the point is the one I’m interested in is not so upfront. She hides certain things and only confides when she knows she can trust. Her sister had no problem telling me right there within the first 20 seconds of meeting her that she liked me. It’s been almost 6 months since my first date and I’m still questioning if this girl likes me or is just being friendly. It’s her reserved nature and I’m the same way but there’s a time to be reserved and a time to step up. I’m stepping up but it’s more work it feels. Maybe she is the type that takes awhile for her to get there. I haven’t given up just yet.

I never did but it is the normal masculin way, insted as of today when women date multible men and men only one at a time.

I have a trick to get over being nervous on a first date. Just before going to meet her, I'll watch 15-20 minutes of clips from Impractical Jokers. That puts me in a good mood, I'm laughing, I want to have fun, and it helps boost my confidence. It doesn't get rid of the fear completely, but it definitely helps.

Love your perspective ladies as it is always informative and well articulated. Like you I hate the terms masculine and feminine and tend to prefer terms like Active and Passive, Physical and Spiritual, Mental and Emotional, Yin and Yang, Direct and Subtle, Grounded and Free, ect. I think people try to use the Masculine and Feminine as a way to pigeon hole multiple aspects into one gender to make it easier but also to either compliment or insult a person who has traits generally associated with a specific gender.

Hallee spitting truth! "It feels like options but they're not REALLY options"

I’ll keep my salt with the pepper, I’ve earned this gray!! Lost to many people along the way. Lost to much time and I still stand tall shoulders back, ready for whatever is next. A man that dyes the gray should maybe recognize the challenges that life has literally thrown at us.

So thankful for you Courtney. You are delightful and these videos/topics are very important and get scant little attention in MSM. You're actually a great role model for young women and a voice of reason in the decadent wilderness we find ourselves in. As a young man dating, there are soooo few women who are marriageable it gets really frustrating. Somehow you have a logical mind but are very feminine and don't imbibe the propaganda that being feminine is 'weak'. Quite a unicorn really, but I must say there are very, very few women who have a realistic idea of their own value, first off, and secondly the long-term consequences of living a party/hedonistic lifestyle based on pleasure-seeking. Women are more fragile than men and although the party lifestyle is not good for men either, it's soooo much worse on women. But they're having so much fun and anyone who dares criticize sluttery or selfish behavior is called a 'misogynist' and loses social standing, so most men shy away from criticizing. A topic I'd love to see you cover is not being FICKLE when evaluating a mate. LOT of women are primarily interested in fickle stuff, like 'i need a date for this wedding' or they absolutely need the guy to be over 6'2 or something like that. Or perhaps they really want a guy who has a beard or who has the exact same politics as them or likes the same music, drives a Jeep, etc. None of these things matter in terms of having a healthy relationship. A man's CHARACTER is what matters, primarily. Yes, there are objectively attractive or less attractive traits too, but these are more deeply rooted and aren't fickle BS like what kind of a car a guy drives or w/e. Charisma, for example, isn't fickle. I'm beginning to see why a woman's father and/or brothers would often exercise some authority over what guy she chose to marry --- on their own, women seem mostly lost and clueless for what a good man is. Some guys are good guys and attractive -- that should be your endgame.

10:56 healthy feminine is slowly dying as years go by btw having drinks on the first date actually makes you more relaxed and open to the other person, you dont have to get wasted, alcohol like everything else is a tool, depends on YOU how you will use it Also a friendly advice for all gals out there, dont say you are interested to go out with someone even when you are actually not, just leave the guy alone, dont try to contact him, i know you love the attention, but instead try to be more emphatic and put yourself in a role of the other person and if you really want to find somebody dont act unavailable and uninterested like you are doing us a favour by just existing, because this will just annoy majority of man who might want to approach you.

I gotta find that balance between pursue and chase. I work in sales and it’s the thrill of the chase and getting the close that I like. Not the same always with relationships. I have turned some girls who were really low to no interest before. Maybe it’s better not to put that energy in but I like a challenge.

This is really helpful and encouraging. I really appreciate that about your videos

i feel like the mention that not every female wants the bad boy type speaks a great deal. a lot of these channels put all women in the mindset of something intense and like you need to put all this effort in to woo them. the reality that not every single one of them are that way does a lot. there truly may be someone for everyone out there

As a guy, I lose 100% interest in a girl if she's dating more than one person at a time. I'm not talking being in multiple relationships, I'm talking simply dating. I'm not going to be dating multiple people at the same time because that's seriously disrespectful!

I feel like women lose interest easily is also because they get bored quicker than men do. I’m not one of those people that has a desire to do something new every day and that turns off quite a few women I’ll match with on dating apps

@@lucascamarasa2081 I think you need to keep on your purpose. I'm getting a lot of "desperate" energy off that, and if I guy like me could sense that, what do you think the average woman could sense? Look, I'm not making fun of you, I'm just being real with you. With you thinking that you have all that, a woman is just going to fall on your lap? You have to have no expectations and get out there. Best of luck to you, King.

Here are my thoughts on questions and the comments you gave. I think it's somewhat telling that Hallee said getting in touch sooner rather then later when organising a date is better in lowering the risk of being forgotten or not remembered. In a way it telecasts to some extent that you haven't made a sufficient impression on her for her to consider you memorable. I can understand that the clutter of life can be distracting and disorientating but I'm pretty sure if George Clooney promised to take you out on a date a week prior, you would remember, in fact you would be anticipating it every day until he contacted you again, but as a general rule of thumb I tend to agree with your comments. Sooner is better. For the feminine and masculine comments I'm not so sure there needs to be a equal balance between the two, Men are predominantly masculine and woman are predominantly feminine and each find the other attractive in the opposite sex in the area of dating and mating. The rise of egalitarian relationships over traditional relationships where men don't fulfil their masculine role by taking the lead in the relationship is why people like Courtney find the feeling of being in the masculine role unsettling and unfulfilling, your looking for traditionalism. You can't be a modern women with modern tendencies and expect to be compatible with a traditional men with traditional tendencies. You can try to cherry pick each aspect of each type of relationship dynamic as much as you like, but it's doomed for failure. The flip side of this for men is the cliché image of the "Strong Independent Women" who takes on masculine traits, who leads her own life and leads the personal relationships she has, romantic or otherwise which would be a turn off for a traditional man. I'm not saying the men and women shouldn't have the autonomy to live their life's in the best way they see fit, but rather when it comes to the domain of preferences you can't walk into a bakery then complain about the smell of bread. There needs to be an element of understanding. Question 7 about at what age do women start to think about responsibility, stability and future potential has been outlined in the manosphere quite clearly for some time. Women are at their peak sexual market value at the ages of 20 to 27 and have a multitude of options which they explore quite freely. It's at around 27 years of age that the realisation sets in that her sexual market value is not on an eternal growth path into the high heavens, but instead has been in a steady decline (as everything does with age) as well as the consideration of children and starting a family as being important starts to set in as the looming impediment of the biological clock starts ticking down.

Being appreciative of the people one is with or one has is important. Quite correct.

This is so interesting about the initial connection. There is a video from a relationship scientist from Hinge who says "eff the spark". Initial spark tends to flame out quickly. While better long term options are dropped immediately because of the lack of spark.

Speaking as a guy whose grey and white speaks to his experience 😇 most women don't like "bad boys." What they dislike is BORING. And what excites interest can vary widely. But some women are truly into men who treat them badly, and that almost never goes away. Everyone makes mistakes about people, but repeating that cycle is a red flag, and often a permanent one.

When dating, it's all about being 100% authentic , have 0 expectations and go in with a neutral mindset and focus on having fun and getting to know the person you're going out with. I had a lot of success in dating on hinge and its how I met my current girlfriend of 2 years!! You find your person without looking for them, i am a firm believer in that

The best way to pursue is to simply not pursue. Engage in hobbies, volunteer, join a hiking club or a volleyball league, a bowling league or any other activity you are interested in. Stay away from dating apps and stay out of the clubs. These apps and clubs are geared toward the worst engergies in both men and women by design. You want a real relationship, engage in real things.

Pursuing by not pursing is like Bruce Lee's method of: the art of fighting without fighting. :)

I particularly don’t believe in pursuing or chasing someone if nothing has happened yet. If you are just getting to know someone you show interest, you are clear and transparent. No games. After you started dating and you have been seeing each other for a couple weeks, if both show interest, then you pursue. But what does pursuing here mean? It means trying and making efforts to meet the person you are dating. If you are dating someone else regularly and you “keep your options available” you are just doing something awful. And if you find out your regular date is doing that, ditch them right away.

Great tips! One of the main reasons why women lose attraction for a man is because, attraction is like a plant. If you don’t keep watering it, it dies. Getting a woman attracted to you, that’s the easy part - now keeping her attracted, that’s a whole new ball game. One of the most powerful ways to keep the attraction going is by learning - how to “build a deep emotional connection” with a woman. Once you have learned that, you won’t have to worry about her leaving you - she’ll be chasing you instead. Anyway, that’s my two cents. -Carlos Verde - Dating Tips
