While I agree that women should not tolerate having to play the "cool girl" and just embrace their feelings. I think the main problem is the exhausting amount of guys that cannot handle the slightests amount of commitment.... It's honestly just exhausting to date atm and I wish guys would be more aware of themselves and how they affect others

​@@ichigoMomomyaChan Wrong. It is only the top 20% of men who will not commitment. The other 80% of men most likely will. However, the real question is if you will be attracted to the other 80% of men or if you will friendzone them after the first in person meeting.

This is so true. I fell into the trap of the "cool" girl persona for a guy I fell completely in love with. When I finally felt safe to be myself it was suddenly too much for him. I realized I set my standards to the minimum and made it easy for him to be the "low effort" boyfriend. I gave so much in that relationship that it left me completely drained on the inside while he made it seem like I was the bad guy for asking for too much. I learned so much from that relationship. Set your standards ladies/gents and set boundaries. Don't be afraid to walk out if he/she doesn't step up or invest as much as you do because they most likely never will and you are just wasting your time!

I played it cool with a guy I always had a crush on, because I figured he was out of my league. This was before I heard about some of the women he dated. He seemed out of my league, so I wasn’t really playing games, I just blew him off, but that was because of my self-esteem issues at the time. He chased me down relentlessly, and when I rejected him, he took it personally, and became very mean to the point where I had to actually block him on social media. He had actually really liked me, I thought everyone told me. Then we reconnected, and he was very fearful. So I started to walk on eggshells, and played the Cole and laid-back chick, And could never just admit how I truly felt and would blow him off when he would tell me how he felt. So I couldn’t use words, and I came on strong as a super friend, who wanted to hang out all the time, but it ended up, making him fearful of me. You really have to be your true and authentic self. That does not mean being crazy and needy, and chasing a man down, which I believe, never works, at least not with the man you really want. But there has to be a happy medium. You don’t chase someone who shows no interest, yet at the same time, you could only play hard to get and play it cool before people start to treat you exactly the way you were presenting herself. Most of us don’t look inward and we just blame the other person.

If you are unable to connect via conversations and share your thoughts with him or her. You no longer have a connection. Don’t be afraid of losing a person who is using you. You matter as much as he or she does.

@@lila5239hi Lila. so, thoughts and feelings radiate energy. if you adjust your thoughts and if your feelings also change, the vibration or frequency emitted from those thoughts and feelings is affected. the vibrations emitted from thoughts and feelings are picked up by others, often unconsciously. an example is when, say, person A breaks up with person B. person B is sad, missing them, maybe obsessing, trying to get them back, anything like that where they are giving their energy to that person A still. person A feels repelled by this energy of person B desiring them so strongly. then, you ever notice how when person B finally lets go, moves on, and stops giving to that person energetically (maybe without even contacting them), person A feels that energy shift, or that loss of person B's focused thoughts and feelings on wanting person A, and then person A comes running back...? that is an example of someone feeling an energy shift. it happens on an energetic plane. telepathy, to me, is more when you send thoughts to a person and they can pick up on what you are sending, like communicating to someone without words, for example looking in someone's eyes and having/sending your thoughts and they know what they are, or to me when working with or studying with someone and sharing the same thoughts and even finishing sentences. that is all my perception of these meanings, they may differ for others. ❤

Then, I said "If you don't have space for me in your life, if it’s not possible for your to make me a priority, then I can't go on. I'll be sad because I want to keep seeing you, but I'll be okay, and I'll have space in *my* life to find someone who *can* give me what I need." You should have seen the look on his face. He asked for time to process, and after a couple of days, he admitted he'd taken me for granted, he apologized and said he wanted to make it up to me. Asking for what we want is important, folks.

I’m not the cool girl, but if they don’t put effort anymore, if they pull away, if they get distant, I’m just doing the same. It’s about reciprocation. If I ask you directly, you say the good thing but you don’t show it, Imma step away cus I know I deserve way better than that so if they wanna lose a good thing it’s with them, but if they don’t they might step up. That’s all. If you can’t meet me at my level, I’m not going to step down. I’m not gonna be the one always texting first, I’m not gonna entertain more “left on read” and then calling me when they want or need. And no one should. Men or women

Be you! Authentic! If they don’t like it, then they aren’t for you. 💜

If someone doesn’t want you, they will never ever want you. It doesn’t matter how little or how much you invest. You’re either a girl they want to be with beyond a hookup or you’re not. And I’d argue they know that on date one.

Playing games is the problem. It's like trying to manipulate someone into liking you and if you're both playing that game, it's a big mess. When I used to date, things would get dragged out for longer than they should have. Mostly because of the guessing games and lack of certainty. You get a sense early on if a person really likes you and if you like them. When I met my husband, it was pretty much like "yup, he's it." within a couple of weeks. Nothing dramatic, no games and no one acted cool at all 😂

Exactly. When you're attracted to someone, although you wouldn't want to play the game, you just find yourself in it. The guessing game, the silent communication, picking up each other's cues. I don't want that. I don't want to play. So even though it was hard, i really just stopped. Like, stop. Distracted myself in a way that's productive so i won't be thinking about him. And he noticed it. I want to keep it that way. I don't want to be scared losing someone who isn't even genuinely interested about me.

I have this guy with whom i am doing circles, it's been a year now. First i thought we are already dating when I found out he thought we are just friends plus, although we acted as a "normal" couple in every way - besides him sleeping with others too. I stood up for myself,and wanted to quit,then he quickly agreed to be exclusive. Three months later he realized he cannot do that and broke up - but didn't want to let me go. Wanted to get back to this friends plus something which looks actually more like an open relationship. I went with the flow because i still had feelings for him - just to realize he basically doesn't even respect me because I prioritized others and his happiness as well over mine (he still doesn't want to let me go,but would never commit to me). What to add,we should stand up for ourselves and be true to what we want: the wrong people won't respect us either way.

Most of us have made the mistake of thinking that if we really love some one, then we should stick it out. But that's not always the best solution. It really is ok just to realize that while we may love someone, it does not mean that they can, or will be able, to love us back. While we must take responsibility for our own feelings, we also must let them take responsibility for thier's. Whether they choose to or not, is out of our control. Your not being mean by having healthy boundary's. His journey is his own to walk, and you have yours. You are not responsible for his actions

This man is literally changing the dating standards for all of us.. Precious. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I agree with you but the truth is that “asking for what you want,” will scare a few people away but that’s a good thing, especially if you love them because you might have otherwise spent years waiting for this person to invest in you only to realize it will never happen.

Tbh as a woman in the dating scene, when I was "playing cool" I actually didn't want much of the person and didn't expect anything and they would get smh more and more hooked which was very weird for me. It's years of about that made me seemingly so "cold" but now I know that's not true to my heart. Since then I've healed and am a much different person. I had to really invest time and effort to figure out that I actually DID want things, DID deserve good things in life and I was allowed to ask that of a person I like and likes me. My point is 1) first heal then date 2) don't chase after emotionally unavailable people. They either don't like you or have some work to do.

Matthew, I'm a 38yo guy watching your videos for about a year. They really help me have more confidence when I'm struggling with social skills and dating.

It wasn’t what I wanted but now he knows that I will not get attached to someone that can’t give me what I want and need. Like Mathew said once he has his reasons, I have my reality.

Being cool with everything, from personal experience, can easily result in being taken advantage of heavily. That will also eventually turn to resentment, which is a guarantee the relationship will not last.

Self-love =self respect, align with that frequency and you will mirror that to the universe and guess what happens, the universe responds.

Very very good point. It seems like some men have used the manipulative tactic of calling girls with descent standards “high maintenance”, to prevent them from ever asking for their needs to be met. Sneaky sneaky. Great video and topic!

I think it comes down to telling yourself “I don’t play games.” When you take that attitude it becomes very easy to see the people who do and stop them in their tracks. If they want you and you don’t accept the game playing, they have to raise their standard. If they’re not genuine or serious about you they will keep up the facade and you know you can walk away

Love and respect yourself and be willing to lose him to keep your boundaries! Keep your body to yourself until he gives you a real commitment! It will weed out the users and save you from wasting time

I took seriously "not chasing". So after the first date, i believed i should wait and not reach out, and my male friends agreed - if he doesn't reach out to you, "he's not into you".

When I state my needs, rather than doing it intensely or saying “my way or high way” I am learning to state them playfully but with equal firmness. use as few words as possible with a decoration of an emoji when asking for things, which makes it so powerful ⚡️ And also set a standard when to negotiate and when to say goodbye 🤗

Yeah... And speaking about your own wants/needs is literally a muscle that has to be practiced in the first place!

This is so true. Additionally, giving people the space and grace to invest in you.

Came right on time! I've been that girl who's wearing the mask to keep him. But one time, I asked him about his future plan, and he got annoyed. He became distant, changed his relationship status, and blame me for the chaos we were dealing.. He asked me to leave him alone, I gave the space.. I am not sure if I did the exact thing but it is hurting, tbh..

Exactly right! If we don't invest in something we don't really value it. Someone who never asks for investment will always just be convenient and disposable and that's sad. Ask people for what you want and that will connect you to your value! Awesome video Matt!

love this, also realising and understanding peoples own condition of worth is a good place to start. learning why people feel the need to "play it cool" helps to know why we do it

Don't assume a man knows what you want. Tell him what you want.

I have always been a nice cool girl, sometimes I would break when I had a breaking point but until then it would be too late to make the guy understand your needs because you make them easy. I always thought that men need space, let them have a chill life, be easy, let them take, get nothing in return and turns out no guy would stay in a relationship with me cz I was too easy.

I love how clear and well spoken you are ❤

This is true. Dont try to be all things to all people.

I love the part about investing in someone or something is what make us care, and it gives us momentum to invest/care more. It can be applied to everything

Carry yourself with confidence and composture, feeling the tension between your standards and their desire for convenience - so well put. Thank you.

Great video. I loved this. I totally agree about asking for what you want. Being “cool” is just too much work.

Very liberating to know you dont have to be cool and can make your demands and switch the tables. Loved the movie and the sudden twist. Thanks for bringing this up.

I've had a habit of finding really needy and insecure men. This is true. Once I had a need WOW UNBEARABLE. I completely did it to myself by being the super cool helper, wanting to be needed backfired horrendously. Great video, and well said.

I always played the cool girl something I learned from home , never be the first to call or invest in him he should be the one to do so and I ended marrying twice the wrong person , going to take your tips now ❤❤❤ thank you for these tips .

Just your videos keep me sane.only these comfort me. It is the lowest point of my life.

Your a great person Matt "the moment someone backs away we break our standard" I am so happy your in the world. Bless you and your family and your lovely mum Pauline

Asking for what you picture as ideal from your view, then seeing their perspective in return. And you're spot on ~ it conveys mutual value (with healthy boundaries.)

He’s describing a “doormat”, not a “cool girl”. A “cool girl” would walk away because she knows there’s other men out there that want her because she’s easy to be around.

He is not talking about really being cool but about „the cool girl“ that is pretending being cool

I love the analogy using the difference between our hotel room, and our own house. That’s a great, simple way to really understand investment. 👌🏻

14yrs later of the back and forth and broken promises I think I’m finally getting this. I need to learn to be strong without him just because I love and miss him that shouldn’t be enough reason to put up with it.

Oh my goodness! This is spot on! This was my entire adult life. 2 marriages later I’m emotionally depleted. 59 years old and just now learning this crucial lesson. Thank you so much❤

you are the best matt! bless you for bring peace in my life. will always support you!

Thank you Matt for letting me believe it is okay to just be me.!❤

Isn't this mindset symptomatic of the current (casual, hook-up) dating scene which prioritises men's desires over and above women's?! It's sadly social and cultural conditioning (collective brainwashing) along with a lack of healthy values, standards and boundaries, and knowing how to communicate them from a place of self love. So pleased you're addressing this Matthew, women need to feel empowered and know their value ❤

True - playing it cool is not cool at all! Be you!

The real issue is how many "adults" are too scared to have their hearts open, being insecure, being obsessed over surface-level things, and run away from loving romantic interests. lol

Appreciate the apparent lack of toxic advice on your channel. I have read some toxic self help in the past and it probably did more damage than if I had had no advice.

Dear Matt, thank you so much for your warm, peaceful, clear and motivating words for this. I think the same goes for finding true friends and a good job situation.

Thank you for this!!! It encouraged me to pause my cool card and reach out to a guy I like. I'm waiting to see what happens but it feels good to just be my authentic self.

Absolutely! So many situations where teaching me this and ir didn’t click for a while but now after an extremely hurtful thing has happened it opened my eyes. This video has confirmed what I thought already, it was kinda stemming from anger and hurt but slowly it will become a default and coming from my heart and kindess. ❤

So true! The thing is one has to be ready, or learn to get a lot of rejection

Not really: one just has to be able to walk away if the deal is less than reasonable, enjoyable and fair. Walking away from shady situations is the coolest thing ever

Wow, wow wow. It's like you are in my head reading my mind. I had tears listening to this. Yes, I have been trying to be the "Cool girl" (woman), and I needed to hear this. Thank you!!

I'm watching Gone Girl right now. Sometimes, it ends up messy. Better just leave if it's not worth the time and energy to be happy within the relationship.

The moment you feel devaluation ready to take place you need to run as if a lion is after you. Run Run hard. When someone disposes you it’s no joke. Love bombing devaluation BOOM!!! Disposed 😫😫😫😫😪

you are a wonderful human being, I prayed for you that you will meet your real real love of your life

I'm a guy but I also have my providing attitude and expecting less I never thought that I can make a mistake for not letting others care. EYE OPENER THANKS

Just found Matthew's videos and I find them quite enlightening. Although these videos are tailored for women to men dating, they are applicable to virtually any dating dynamic to include male to male dating. His videos have shed a bit of a light on very recent heart wrenching situations I have had with my own dating experiences.

Boils down to being authentic. Which is not a state so easily attained for someone who has been heavily abused while growing up. But we can all get there, no matter what. Life journey. And it is actually fantastic when that happens.

What an accurate description of what most "boys" think of "cool girls". Fortunately, I'm a "cool woman" 😂😅 and the only "man" I would ever allow in my life, is one that truly embraces his ✨divine masculine energy✨ and matches mine! Brilliant advice, you're phenomenal! 🙌

Glad you found the dog found a lovely home, even if you couldn't find it's original owner 👌🐕🥰

Oh my gosh I am absolutely loving the new style of cheeky humour about subscribing and sharing! Also love the sarcastic humour, it makes me want to subscribe a second time even though I have been subscribed for a long time LOL!

I always feel enlightened by your amazing relationship videos. 😊

Thank youuu ❤❤❤ Just be always yourself no matter what!😊😊😊

I was into the "cool girl" era to protect myself in the initial stage of the relationship. But as the relationship grew serious and he started being a little too okay with not investing the bare minimum, I made a few demands or rather communicated my non-negotiables. But he never got me. I kept trying and he never got me. I don't know what to do in such a situation. Its like he says he knows what is wrong but he will not do anything to make things better.

I played cool. He was irritated. I was myself, he was overjoyed. Learn from this man 😅

thank you for this…i now know i have done the right thing in asking him for commitment and walking away

Great video. Practical explanation. So many women are doingg this to keep the man around; to be more convenient and yielding to him. He ends up using you & secretly desiring the girl that called him out of his BS.

Thank you for this pep talk, I really needed it 🥹

and yes, for a relationship to work, it is necessary to give two people, in the area not only physical, but also emotional and sentimental, I like it when you talk about something that has failed us in relationships: communication, a relationship without conversation is a battlefield doomed to failure, so I I appreciated this tip, thanks

I hate it. I always play too cool and super uninterested. But actually I CARE and daydream and have butterflies everytime i event think of them.

Can’t wait for your videos !!! Thank you! You are the best’

Good god. I spent the first 47 years trying to be the cool girl and not asking for what I needed and wanted. Awful. I’m going for what I want now. ❤

You are the best, Matthew. I wish I could ask for more from him. He runs the show, and I'm nothing to him. He plays me constantly. I am worn out. Simply don't know what to do about him anymore
