      I wouldn't call her entitled nor high maintenance. There are some negative things I could call her. But I'm not going to do that. Why dwell on her negatives when I can focus on her positives.
      The point being that there are plenty of beautiful women with nice enough personalities. And in my experience the proportion of beautiful women with nice enough personalities is about the same as for plain and ugly looking women.

    A couple of years ago I managed to attract an extremely extremely pretty girl, pretty much a 10/10, way out of my league, and after a while she became my girlfriend. At first, I felt like I had won the lottery, not only she was super attractive, pretty and with a nice body, she was also well educated, came from a good family and wanted to marry me and have kids. I literaly felt she was perfect and I had found the love of my life. After some months with her, I started seeing everything you're saying in the video. Like every single thing you mention here she had it: The entitlement, the princess mentality, the complete lack of resilience, the extreme lack of empathy, the narcissism.
    Just to give an example, I have several cars that I rent to other people. At one time we were at a wedding party of a friend of mine, and I receive a call that one of my cars had been stolen. It was the first time this happened to me so I wasn't very sure how to act. But even I got nervous, I kept my composure and started making a bunch of calls: to the police, to the insurance company, to the gps tracking company, etc. Later, I got news that my car was found abandoned somewhere and I had to go there to get it, since the police was already there. So I told her that we had to leave. In the taxi she was cold and distant, and I asked her what was wrong. She said she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable by how I acted at the party, and that I ruined that party for her. Like, excuse me? My car was literally stolen and the problem for her was that SHE felt uncomfortable? I realize then she would never stand by me under any difficult situation in life, or give me any support whatsoever, or be of any help to solve any problem. There were plenty of situations like this with her. Everything was always about her and her needs and her wants. What I initially thought was going to be THE ONE relationship in my life became the worst relationship I ever had. I ended up dumping her.

      I had a very similar relationship like that. The highs were amazing but the lows were hell. And no support when problems or crises would arise. Entitled spoiled brat syndrome was eventually diagnosed as BPD, which I believe is a lot more common in women than most men realize. I’m much happier alone now and not even sure what a good match would look like for me today. She doesn’t have to be a 10, but there’s no point in dating someone I’m not attracted to. No longer holding my breath. The bachelor life is better than most of the alternatives.

    I married a pretty woman. She was gorgeous to me. But into the marriage she refused to help with house projects like painting interior walls, gardening, simple tasks everyone has to do and many couples enjoy. She shunned "manual labor". When kids came she became super anxious about everything involving the kids. She would pile blankets on the baby and the baby would kick them off. I said "I think she is feeling hot" so removed the blankets. Kid was fine, but wife lost it with worry. Every gift was too little. Every vacation we had to have the best view room, and not facing a noisy pool. Hyatt in Poipu Beach she complained about. Eventually she left for a wealthier guy. Trying to fill an empty whole in her psyche with material items new car, bigger house, fancy clothes never ended. I live simply now and am way happier for it. By the way the old adage "you never know your wife until you face her and her lawyer in divorce court" is true.

She went ballistic and told me I had to cook what she liked. I said no way. I told her if she didn't want to cook that was fine, but cooking was not my forte' and I wasn't going to learn how to cook just to appease her. 6 months later we divorced.

    I’m 58 now, divorced and much happier than I have ever been. I was dating a very attractive girl for about 2 years when I was around 35. She was 26 and one very important take away I observed was how many other men would flirt with and try to swoon her as soon as my back was turned. For example we may have been out at a pub and I would go to the bar to buy a drink, guaranteed upon my return there would be some guy with her trying to ‘cut my grass’. I wasn’t insecure at all but I did realise it would only be a matter of time before the right guy came along.

    • @bobblacka918
      @bobblacka918 2 месяца назад +25

      That's why I always advise men not to take a date to a bar. If you suggest dinner and a movie, and she insists on going to a bar, then that's a red flag she is only using you to attract the attention of other men. On the few times I took a date to bar with a group of friends, if some random guy (not part of the group) started taking to my date, I would get between them and start a conversation with the guy. If my date accused me of interfering with her private conversation, that was the red flag I was looking for. I would immediately tell her we are leaving the bar. If she said she didn't want to leave, then I gave her a choice, leave with me now, or I'm leaving by myself. If she chose to stay, that was confirmation she was just there to give out her number to random men. And I would just leave her there and never contact her again. The moral is, if you let them get away with disrespecting you in public, they will have no respect for you ever, and squeeze every penny they can out of you until you smarten up.

      very true, stupid young men all always hype up the ugly or average guy that pulls hot chicks. if you see behind the scenes and how that girl actually treats that guy, or hear how women talk about guys like that, it's just pathetic lol
      women post their disgusting psychology all over social media these days, so you can literally see how they think about guys below their league, they say things like "i dated an average ugly guy and he actually doesn't worship me??", they lower their standards because they believe the guy will just be a pathetic simp, and when he just sort of treats her like a normal girlfriend they can't stand it.
      secondly, they just generally from what i've seen in actual relationship of people i knew personally, AND have been in with girls out of my league, they just generally aren't invested, they treat you like crap, barely try. the hottest girl i dated was my first gf, she used to literally just do awful shit and then say "so break up with me then" if i complained, it was actually unreal to see in action.

      as a 41 year old guy who meets a lot of women all the time and lives in LA with attractive women, everyone sees early signs. The problem is the S I M P mentality, fooling yourself and falling out of desperation. attractive women who have issues will show you little red flags on date 3 if you actually shut up and listen to them. Women tell me im attractive and so im used to getting their approval soon and I see the red flags very early on. Again it's desperate guys fooling themselves. The woman needs to show you she's willing to adjust for you and is super into you right away because she wants to connect with you. If you are the one making all the adjustments to fit into her mental state, this is stupid. Take accountability and accept that you as a guy enable this behavior by praising beauty as priority. I went out with 9s but I'd happily take a stable sweet 7. The most important rule to follow is that she has to see you as her first choice. If thats not the case, you are in for a long journey of feeling insecure.

    I was dating a beautiful woman, totally out of my league when I was in my early 20s. She was a money pit that bled me dry. Everyone thought she was perfect, all except my grandfather who saw past her beauty. He told me in confidence that “women who are pretty on the outside are seldom ever pretty on the inside”. Truer words were never spoken. She had everything handed to her since she was 16 and really didn’t appreciate it. I found out from the wife of a friend of mine that she had a couple of Chads on rotation while I was away, that was it. I was just being used for resources. I broke it off and never looked back. In time, I found my unicorn and lived a much better life than I would have had if I was solely letting the little head do my thinking for me.

    This makes total sense, and since I hit puberty I have always known that "the prettier they are on the outside, the uglier they are likely to be on the inside." I am now 45, and I believe that this is more true nowadays, with social media, the prevalence of internet porn, the relegation of religion, etc, than it has ever been. I might have a unique perspective to offer on the "Pretty Girl Paradox" because I happen to be the male equivalent of a pretty girl, with all due humility. From the time I hit puberty until now, I have constantly had girls of all ages and backgrounds chasing after me--married or otherwise. They've kissed me in the streets, taken pictures of me when I wasn't looking, propositioned me for threesomes, encouraged me to be a stripper or model, ... I can indeed say, as Jesus did: "It takes a steady hand to hold a full cup." When the opposite sex is constantly pining for you and worshipping you, it's very easy to take advantage of others, to selfishly utilize all that adoration for your benefit, etc. I get where these girls are coming from, but it still doesn't make it right, and I believe that giving in to such selfish actions is in large part a result of poor parenting. In my case, my parents raised me Catholic, and my mom made great efforts to teach me and my brother good character, and that beauty is only skin deep. Another reason girls become this way is because guys themselves do not have the right values. They put these girls on a pedestal, shamelessly chasing after them, as if their looks were indeed the most important aspect of who they are, hoping that they'll be able to sleep with them, validate their own worth, etc. Girls also become this way--no surprise here--due to the tendency of the media to champion physical attractiveness as the end all be all, as noted earlier. After all, sexual attraction is a human trait that is easy for Hollywood, advertizers, etc, to leverage so as to get into people's wallets. Again, none of this is to excuse such behavior from women. At the end of the day, we all have choices to make, but certainly it can be harder for some of us to make the right choice as a result of our life history and circumstances. And as suggested in this video, it goes both ways: vain women with relatively little character value have no power over us unless we let them.

      @@cultureofmen @cultureofmen Yes, I do understand the wisdom; but, in my humble opinion, such legislation is too extreme, and it is unnecessary. Human beings of all cultures will naturally value and endeavor to protect a degree of modesty, privacy, sacredness, etc., even if it's just a matter of a loincloth alone--there are always short-lived historical anomalies, of course. When the balance is upset, humans will naturally seek correction, since doing otherwise results in all sorts of problems. At the same time, there is certainly both objective and subjective physical beauty, and individuals should have the right to be able to select and advertise for a mate accordingly, just like all the other animals of the world. What this entails varies from one culture and one era to the next, but almost always involves coverage of the genitals at a minimum, presumably since they are directly responsible for the creation of life, which most cultures deem as sacred. There are many enforceable laws in Western, and nearly all cultures, that limit the "mingling" of the opposite sex; it's just a matter of choosing laws that are neither too restrictive nor too permissive. There must be a balance, and I think that Western Judeochristian culture has done a pretty good job at that. It's just that maintaining a balance between our animal nature and our human civility--especially with the advent of new technologies, ideologies, etc--is a difficult endeavor, and we are currently in need of a bit of correction.

      Amigo! Eu vou escrever em Português, pois será mais rápido para mim.....
      Pois bem!.... Eu estava na universidade, quando, de repente, eu vi uma moça simplesmente lindíssima, lindíssima, que eu nunca tinha sentido tamanho "estonteamento" antes. Eu senti me dizer interiormente, naquele momento, que eu tinha que, nalgum momento (algum dia), falar com aquela moça. Eu comecei a fazer planos, e meio que me preparar. Eu cheguei a vê-la acredito que mais uma ou duas oportunidades, só que, nessas ocasiões, ela estava ao lado de pessoas, e seria muito desagradável eu me intrometer e puxar conversa, isso poderia arruinar tudo para mim. Mas eu mantive o plano, eu só esperava uma oportunidade. Um dia, eu estava entrando numa biblioteca do prédio de Artes e Comunicação (meu prédio era o da frente, o de Ciências Humanas), quando eu abro a porta da Biblioteca, eu me deparo com ela VINDO EM MINHA DIREÇÃO! SOZINHA! Eu de imediato - gelo - e lhe pergunto: "Moça.... Eu poderia lhe dizer uma coisa? Eu lhe acho uma das mulheres mais lindas dessa universidade." Ela agradeceu e só. Eu me esqueci de pedir contatos dela, de tão encantado que fiquei! Um tempo passou, até que eu a vi novamente, e, dessa vez, não deixei passar! Eu falei com ela e lhe pedi o contato, e-mail, depois procurei no Facebook tudo mais.... Resumo: Eu cheguei a me declarar tempo depois para essa moça, pois não teria muitas oportunidades de encontrá-la, e daí que eu decidi dizer a ela o que eu sentia. A verdade é que, ela disse que namorava, mas, após isso, ela me aceitou no Facebook uma semana depois, e isso me levou a uma ruína psicológica ao longo de quase um ano ou dois anos, porque eu jurei que ela me queria, só que para depois! Ela não demonstrava nenhuma emoção, ela era emoção ZERO, sorria pouco, não a via conversar com as colegas, ela sempre andava com uma única pessoa: um colega homossexual igualmente de pouca expressão. Eu já era esperto a essa altura, e evitei dar presentes, mas observei uma vez um rapaz do prédio dela, observei à distância.... Era época que se aproximava de final de ano, acredito.... O rapaz comprou um panettone de luxo, aproximou-se dela, e lhe ofereceu de presente.... Eu observando TUDO!.... Ela simplesmente pegou o panettone, e nem sequer se levantou para dar um abraço no rapaz! Não era o namorado dela, o namorado dela lhe havia presentado com um buquê de flores imenso.....
      Com o tempo, eu me curei daquele sentimento, eu entendi que eu jamais seria feliz tendo uma mulher como aquela ao lado.
      Mulheres assim só lhe trazem infelicidade!

    💯 on point. They’re a challenge. You gotta be strong af to date a pretty woman. You have to have the audacity to be willing to walk away from them, tell them what’s up or leave them for good and absolutely mean it. Nobody has the balls to do it and she will remember you and usually come back later. Pretty women in my experience reach a boiling point where they’re at their peak of feeling themselves and feel like they can do better than you and will test your strength periodically. You have to be willing to kick her to the curb and be secure enough in yourself to dump her and treat her like she doesn’t matter. Then when she goes back down to her regular self esteem she will see you as more valuable than her again and she’ll probably come back. Pretty women are usually very insecure so when you act like an unshakable rock they come back.

    Absolutely 100% TRUE. I would add that any man who dates a beautiful woman should know that whenever she is not in his sight, other men are trying aggressively to take her away from you. Everywhere. At work, men are offering to bring her coffee, inviting her to lunch, volunteering to help or solve problems; it will escalate into blatant courtship--giving flowers, gifts, sending emails, and so on. At the grocery store, men will flirt, offer their assistance, give business cards or cell numbers. As long as she is beautiful, she will be surrounded by suitors, always doing favors, offering to help or solve problems, playing the knight in shining armor and doing their best to impress her and convince her how much happier she would be with them than with you--and you will never know if any of them are having success--until it's too late.

    You did not mention the a$$ ache of dating a very pretty girl is the moment you turn your back or go to the john when out in public, some dude has already scoped her out and waited for his opportunity to swoop in quick and chat her up, get her number. If he’s still around when you come back he’s pulling an Alpha move, trying to show to both her and you how bold and assertive he is. It’s a pain in the a$$ all the time you are scanning for threats. The song “Never make a pretty woman your wife,” has some great insights. Only you can decide if it’s worth the constant interference.

      Men date attractive women in the first place - it’s to show her off to everyone else “oh hey everyone, see what i have? I have a beautiful woman by my side”.. many men derive most of their self worth from their ability to attract women. The amount of work these types of guys put in to not only attract but
      Maintain relationships with these women is immense.

I still tend to believe there are good girls out there, but the prettier they are, the greater the chance they are entitled about themselves, which is a bad thing like you said. On the other side, no man will feel attracted to a girl he doesn't think is pretty. To fall or not to fall, that is the real pretty girl paradox.

    It’s not a flaw…it’s a survival tool. It helps us identify physically healthy women to procreate with…from a time when there was no modern medicine or public health.
    The challenge is not letting beauty blind us to a woman’s character. Because that character is what determines what kind of wife/partner she will be.
    The problem is that men will throw the world at the feet of beautiful women, so they have no incentive to grow up or develop what’s on the inside. Until they hit middle age…that outer beauty has faded away…and there is nothing of any substance behind it. The world finally sees her for the selfish, entitled adolescent she has always been.
    A unicorn is the beautiful woman who has not let the power of her outer beauty corrupt her or dissuade her from a pursuit of inner beauty.

    The problem today is that it's not only the good looking girls. Today most women are used to get an abundance of attention and validation from social media and apps. Guys just want to 'smash' and offer validation for nothing, so even medium or below medium looking women believe they are "high quality" when they have nothing to offer and are very entitled. But I'm 55 so before social media I agree it was more like this. And I also fell for this trap. And just like you the real person came out only after my daughter was born (and I had vetted her for over 2 years). The story of 'sirens' luring the man is ancient. I always had if fairly easy to get girls but am now single dad since 6 years and determined to keep it so! I need a date like I need an ashtray on my bike. Single is such freedom! It doesn't mean I don't like women, I know there are also good quality women out there (even if rare). But freedom is more beautiful.

      With women things always working in reverse.

Especially physical beauty. Our culture is so twisted in a knot over this topic and it causes so much pain and confusion in both men and women. if you have a woman who responds to attention from men because of her physical attractiveness, then you are in a relationship that can never work. It’s sad to say, but if that is in her character, then she will never be the kind of woman that any healthy man would want to keep around.

    Great video. The internet + simps have given these pretty women superpowers. I don't have a solution for this other than to say that exercising makes me feel better, normal/cute-enough women give me signs to approach when I'm out in public and I wouldn't say that I'm jacked yet, I could put a feel inches on my arms and shoulders yet, no back definition but huge pecs, I started on the bench. I'm focused on weighted pullups now with low weight (10-15lbs) that I throw in my cheap drawstring backpack and the stretch feels amazing, 198 pullups over the last few days but todays a rest day, I'm just having fun at this point. Weighted dips, weighted pullups, hammer curls, fat grips on everything, I'm not sure what's at the end of this road but I'm starting to get more signs to approach women so thanks for sharing your story and what you've lived through. 💯👍

      Yesterday I had a buxom & attractive woman say hello to me and give me a big lingering smile on the sidewalk, and I said hello back and kept on walking. About ten minutes later, when she was out of view, my brain kicked in that she was quite possibly interested in me. Argh! Lol And this has happened to me before. I have been sort of brainwashed with the whole "women are just being nice to you" mentality. I need to always be ready to nicely approach when those situations happen (though rarely) to me!

    Two mistakes about generalized advice about people, experiences and relationships -- 1. You can't design a preferred type of person with any certainty at all. 2. People all behave differently with different people. So you must have particularly good insight into how you behave if you are particular about another's behavior towards you. Including the dynamic the two partners unintentionally and unconsciously create. Which is unknowable in advance.

Empathy can be difficult sometimes too, but I have gotten a lot better about this.

      Thanks for sharing! The most important thing you can do is wake up every morning and decide that you’re grateful for being alive and all the people that you have in your life. Then decide that you’re going to be happy regardless of what happens. You don’t seek happiness from others or from things outside of yourself. If you can do that, then you’ll stop seeking validation from others and you’ll develop a sense of empathy. Good luck.

And the very few women that meet this category will have many options with guys - especially younger guys. With a such a high obesity rate in this country, it really hits middle-aged women badly.

    Thanks for this precious piece, brother. I once dated a pretty girl. She was a model. It was hell. But i learned a lot about myself and about life.
    My mum was furious, my sisters were veryyyy angry with her. My mentor was vexxxed. My mum told me "to desire the best thing for myself as the girl wants the best thing for herself." When i looked properly, she didn't fall within my definition of best.
    I broke up with her and saw how i gave her permission to treat me horrible. It was my mistake, not hers.
    My mentor asked me to create a negotiable and non-negotiable list. I was VERY intentional such that I interviewed ladies like I was hiring for the role of a wife. Shortly after, I found my wife.
    4 years of marriage, and we share mutual love, respect, and affection for one another.
