    Going my own way has given me power. I always put myself first and don't let women distract me. Sure, I'll go on dates, but I'll never let getting a woman become my main motive in life. You'll be surprised how many women this mindset brings as opposed to just being hung up on one woman. I also don't make moves if my gut feeling is telling me it isn't right to do so.

I mean if the chick isn't having it I'll back off but when it comes to making move that "gut" feeling is just more propaganda brought on by the new alliance of fake tradcons and bra burning Karens who still think monogamous marriage is a good idea for society lol

    I want to add another thing: It's important to discuss non-negotiables early-on in the relationship. I had long-term relationships {2+ years) end, because I was scared to discuss kids, marriage, where will we live/settle down, careerbuilding, etc. I wanted completly different things and it's sad when a good relationship ends, because you don't see eye to eye on the big things.

    I’m a girl and I love how this video was actual genuine advise for *real* relationships. I’ve had so many times where I started off liking a guy but because I was subtly pressured for sex early on it fizzled. And it wasn’t like they were doing it on purpose (some) but in my experience a girl can feel when u don’t have genuine intentions and that negatively impacts trust early on. Genuinely being interested and wanting to actually learn about each other as people is when I felt comfortable enough to actually get physical with my partner because I didn’t feel like being physical is the goal. And I’m not even talking sex in this case- I’m talking just kissing and holding hands felt uncomfortable because the more I touched them they more they would subtly or not so subtly push me to get even more physical with them. When they weren’t focusing on the strictly physical aspect I found myself actively initiating and actually liking touch with them a LOT more. On a side note I heard this quote some time ago that said “girls get physical when they’re emotionally bonded and guys get physical TO emotionally bond” don’t think it’s entirely accurate but it is interesting to think about

Have 2-3 more texts then ask her to go out. Don't text to get to know a stranger, text to meet up and get to know her in person

    I would say as a man you need financial stability to be able to have a relationship. You can attract with your character and your body, but in the long run they are gone if the money doesn't come in. It was not for nothing that so many people got vaccinated when they were threatened with losing their jobs. Most know that without their work/money, the woman would be gone very quickly. Only pets and babies get unconditional love ;) Greetings and great video as always!

    Man, dating scares the crap out of me. I was living my best life and a relationship just kinda happened. All the stuff you said in the video just kinda happened naturally as I navigated the space as it unravelled in front of me, I've always had a balanced social circle around me, so I just treat men/women as people, I'm kind and show a genuine interest as thats just who I am. So I've never had social anxiety in that sense, I'm pretty confident in myself and people tend to naturally like having me around. Anyway, me and a work collegue would go on lunch walks, just talk about random stuff, our lives, and we'd message about what each of us are getting up to or send each other music and stuff. That kept getting stronger and we hung out more outside of work, then after about 6 months we both caught feels, I said I was interested but she wasn't ready yet, a month or so later and she asked me out. We were practically already in a relationship anyway and both admitted that later down the line. That relationship lasted 5 years, the happiest 5 years of my life and it ended out of knowhere a month ago. I'm still devastated and working on moving on, the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life as its like fighting against your own heart and soul, against my own happiness. For only being a month on my family/friends have said my progress is remarkable, but I don't feel it. I feel awful. I'm so scared that all this is ahead of me again, although its way to early to be thinking about that stuff, I gave everything I could to that relationship and supporting her through so much trauma and self discovery with all the unconditional love I had in me - which now feels all thrown back in my face, which is horrible. We always worked on ourselves and met the others feelings with openness and a willingness to work on oneself. We always had eachothers best interests at heart. We played like kids and let our hair down, lived in our own little bubble. We retained active private lives and time for ourselves. When stuff got serious we went into that mode, then when silly times rolled around again we'd relax into that. Urgh, it was heaven, but its over now. Therapy and processing this all healthily with lots of journalling and KZreadr's like Cole have really helped ease the mind and work through things. I refuse to ever entertain certain ideologies people go down at this time (redpillers/incels) for this isolated heartbreak. Call me naive, but I just see the good and happiness in people, be kind to people, and that's how I've always lived my life and intend to always do so. Just turned 30 as well (which just adds to the mental pressure). I'm just lost and scared at finding that deep connection again, that vulnerability, that trust. Having it all happen so naturally in the past means I've never had to face this reality of modern dating. I'm not a cynic, and refuse to ever let the world turn me into one. I've seen too much good and good in people I've met to believe otherwise. But I'll be damned if that journey doesn't scare me again. I'm not going to be ready to start that path for many months yet, but I hope when I do I don't let the world crush me. I want to retain my character, continue to build and grow as I always have and who I am regardless of what others think. But right now, I'm still at the phase of 'we had it so good, I can't believe its all over'. Because we genuinely did.

    I appreciate you sharing yourself so authentically here. One way to look at it is this: you have firsthand understanding now that this kind of fun, comforting and fulfilling relationship is possible for you. You know how it works and can easily replicate it again with the next right person. From age 25-30 is a time of really becoming yourself and it sounds like you were able to do this within a relationship that was supportive and enriching of the best parts of you. This other soul healed and grew to the point that she needed to be able to understand self reliance or to further heal things that her comfort with you would never challenge or evoke. The same goes for you now. “Every new beginning is some other beginnings end.” When something significant happens like this, look for something equally significant that’s trying to get you to make space in your life. Only this time it will be next level, as long as you don’t let fear keep you from being your authentic self. ❤

I do want a family of my own, but probably not in the U.S. And if it had to be here, than not in the south, and definitely not California. All that is stuff I have to get sorted before I even consider a long term relationship.

    I’m 26, reasonably good looking guy, good shape too, who’s trying his best to self improve daily because of my failure to launch. I’ve never been in any real relationship before, mostly hookups that never went anywhere. Despite a longing to be in some form of a relationship for years, my biggest hurdle is the insecurity of my place of residence. I still live with my relatives, and it’s the only thing that stops me from actually continuing a relationship in fear of feeling judged. I intend to change that, hopefully sooner rather than later, but it has made an impact on my dating life. At the very least, I’ve still been practicing my social skills with women, and hopefully it will pay off in the future.

    I’ve been feeling very lonely and frustrated for the past few months, and I think a lot of that comes from the fact that I have never been in a relationship before. I’m 17 and it’s bothering me a lot. I rarely meet girls who I take an interest in, but the girl I met a few months ago at college, who I developed a crush on over time, already has a boyfriend. It’s made me feel too many emotions, and my brain has just shut down and tried to suppress them. The whole experience made me realise how little I understand relationships, and I almost feel like I will never get into one.

    You're...17. Plenty of time to do what you need to do. I can tell one mistake you made and I made the exact and I mean EXACT same one when I was a 17 year old stupid kid: You developed a crush on a chick. Gotta understand that doing that is the closest thing to being abusive (towards yourself and the chick) without actually being abusive and I actually mean that. Not cool, the earlier you learn that lesson the better. Its alright to appreciate a chick. Perfectly cool to say "you know what, you're better than the other chicks I come across" but leave it at that. Catching feelings like that and looking to a chick for validation like you want her to replace your mom or something? Bad move. Here's a goal you should set, something my dumbass should have done when I was 17: Make it a point to invite at least five to ten chicks out on a date per week. Assuming the school you go to is pretty big, this shouldn't be a problem. Get shot down? Here's a good line to react to save your embarrassment: Right on, that's cool. Sorry if that came off as weird, I made a new years resolution to get a better partner than the last one I had. So I'm just trying to get out there. You can also say something like "Gotcha. Sorry if I bothered you, I just made it a point this year to be more outgoing. Didn't mean to make you a part of that or anything haha." And damn, WTF are you doing in college at 17? I was 19 my freshman year...too early in retrospect. I should have started college at 25 lol.

    There is one thing that I (as a girl) can’t understand in the scenario described. So you meet a girl from a dating app who is basically a stranger to you and you’re not even sure yet if you want to see her again or if your goals match, yet you lean for a proper kiss. The same thing with the sex on the 2nd date… you’re only getting to know this person and don’t know if you want her to become ur girlfriend or not, why have sex then?? Wouldn’t it be more logical to first get to know each other, decide if you want to be in a relationship and only then have sex?? Otherwise, you could end up having random sex with lots of people from dating apps.
