As a woman, the #1 biggest turn off for me is bitterness and hostility. And I'm pretty sure that goes the other way around...bitterness and hostility in women are also big turn-offs to men. The attitude of "All you women/men are the same, you just want (fill in the blank)" is gonna make any sane person NOPE right out.
Yes, you're right. This "you must be confident cause I'm not" that some girls do as well is to tiresome. Its ok to be afraid sometimes and you should be allowed to talk about your feelings, as a man or woman.

Quitting addictions for good (if you have any - consider stopping it as it makes you mentally weak + affects your confidence and all other areas of your life!) 🚀 Take it easy and I hope you found one thing helpful in this list 💯☝
Being burned out on life in general. It happens and why a lot of people don't move on. They feel it's just trading for another set of problems they have zero control over.
As a man who's last relationship (few months ago) ended because I did some of the things you mentioned, I have some advice for the gentlemen. Don't listen to a young lady when she says she wants you to be open (emotionally) with her. Stay emotionally distant until you've been with her for at least a year.
Yes I agree with u. A woman I was interested in wanted me to open up to her and when I did she was ghosting me after that. Never again will I open up to a woman until I know 100% that she is the right one for me.
Yup. Women don't care and don't want to know. It's not emotional vomit to look for support. But, the women in your life aren't there for you in that way. Get a beer with your friends
I think the difference between vulnerability and emotional vomiting is pointless to a man. It's basically the difference between venting about a small issue and being downed by a serious problem. Men need to know when his life gets rough their woman will be there just like if a life threatening fight broke out his boys will be there. Vulnerability about small problems rarely gives you answers from your woman or makes you feel better so you might as well deal with it in your own and say nothing or ask some friends. If women can't deal with the only part men need that they are more appropriate for than friends then it is no surprise most men choose to act completely stoic because they'll be judged. At that point a man is getting sex/companionship and the same level of emotional support outside of a relationship so there's no point to having a partner.
Yeah if you look at it there is not much difference between emotional vomiting and vulnerability it's basically the same in practice and men can't balance this that's why we always have to be stoic no matter what women or this society says otherwise it's game over.
You nailed it on the head. I was going to comment something similar but you did it for me, lol. The issue with this way of thinking from women is that the line between emotional vulnerability and vomiting is almost nonexistent, and ultimately defined by each individual woman. The worst part of this is that a woman expects for a man to be able to handle all of his own emotional baggage solo, while she has a network of family and friends to unload on and get the satisfaction of release, as well as advice is she is looking for it. A man is supposed to just turn everything in on himself. And yet we wonder why as a society we have some of the problems that we do regarding men and violence. We are told from a very young age to not cry, suck it up, only sissies to this or that, etc. Well, you reap what you sow, ladies.
And in my case, when I'm asked why my marriage only lasted one year, if I DON'T give a good explanation that it was due to my ex wife's alcoholism that got significantly worse just before our wedding and led to her being very dishonest and even becoming physically violent because of anger management issues while drunk and arguing, I look like a commitment phobe. But if I DO give this good explanation, I'm accused of emotional vomiting
There is nothing wrong for man being serious about a sensitive subject. Emotional vomiting as wording is like an insult to man trying to set things right with a subject that should be addressed for a better relationship.
For number 1, while being too passive and losing control of you life can certainly be a bad thing, we all have times in our lives when we aren't at our best or find ourselves in situations that overwhelm us and you deserve a partner who will support you through those times, not make you worried that you're turning them off. Everyone should try to improve, but you shouldn't beat yourself if you stumble and you definitely should not be with a partner who adds on to your stress in those moments of hardship. For number 2, this kinda hits on the first point, but as a man you are just as entitled to occasional ranting or moments of doubting yourself as a woman is. If your partner does not allow for that then they are toxic, especially if they ask the same of you. Now, obviously there comes a point where you need to stop complaining and take steps to solve the problem, but talking to your partner about it can even help you figure out ways to solve the problem. Pretty much agree with everything in points 3 and 4 though.
Yeah dude. You nailed. Concur with the other posters. There is little between emotional vomiting and being vulnerable so we are stoic. She has her head on her shoulders generally but she is really young and this one is messed. Women can always find a way to be unhappy. They want you to open up but lose faith if you do. She needs a big rethink on this one. She should do another video on your comment alone.
Dude, she's just listing things that she finds inconvenient in men. She also talks down to men like men need to be told what's what because their idiots. She's not doing it in away that validates the man, but rather corrects him and improves him because he needs it. Feminist slant.
If you need to emotionally vomit, seek professional help! Therapy exists for that reason. You're not entitled to toss all of your emotional baggage on to someone and they are not obligated to hear you even if you are in a relationship. You need to understand we all have our OWN boundaries what we can handle and process and those boundaries need to be respected too. Your emotional vomiting might give a huge load of stress to someone else. Supporting and being supported is a two way street where boundaries of all participants need to be understood.
@@Haha_Haha_Ha don't be a simp! she's outlined all the SIMP traits so deal with it. If you need help, listen to Andrew Tate coz he's TOP G! And she is actually right on all her points.
@@eveliinahannele Emotional vomiting makes it sound way worse than it is. I'm not going to go to therapy because I had 1 frustrating day at work. My partners "emotionally vomit" to me too and it's not a big deal. If it's something more serious then absolutely go to a therapist but theres no need to go to therapy for life's minor inconveniences.
What things annoy us men and cause us to lose attraction? Here's a few things that come to mind. 1) When a girlfriend expects her boyfriend to act as her free psychiatrist. 2) Girls who think guys are just sperm donors and ATM machines. 3) When a girlfriend compares you to her friends boyfriends & husbands. If men did this it would be considered misogyny on steroids. 4) Girls who think it's all the man's responsibility to make the relationship work. And there's lots of girl bosses out there who get furious if you do act like a man and assert yourself and take control.
5) Girls who waste their 20s with Chad Pookie Tyrone, but still expect to get good men (This is, like, the most popular red flag in the red pill community) 6) Girls who are co-dependent
@@ShadowbannedAccount men actually do this more then women. They sleep with bunch of women and when they become old and unattractive they try to settle for any woman that’s ready.
I think my biggest issue is self-doubt, which I’ve gotten a lot better at dealing with. It still pops up sometimes but I’m feeling more confident than ever
Why can't a woman just like a man for who they are? Meaning you're attracted to them and like their personality. That's mostly all a man wants out of a woman. Stop leeching ladies. Here's an idea. You too can walk your own path! Yeah I know it's crazy but go out there...and have your own goals and hobbies. My parents when they decided what to do for dinner...Mom.."where are we going to eat" Dad..."that's up to you. Always is." Mom "why can't you ever make a decision and just want to eat somewhere from your own mind?" Dad "ok...welp how about we go to Fridays" Mom "No, they cook everything in butter I can't eat anything there. You know I'm on a diet. Remember we went there 20 years ago and they put the dressing in the salad instead of on the side" Dad "Fine, how about Fudruckers" Mom "did you not hear anything I said?? They cook their buns in butter. There's always a 30 minute wait there. I don't like to have to ask to special order something. They don't have anything else that I like." Dad "Well what places can you eat at?" Mom "I don't know maybe the diner that we were at for the last 25 weekends" Dad "Well I guess we're going to the diner then" Mom "was that so hard to pick a place? gessh what is wrong with you" Yeah... you women really like a guy who makes decisions. What you ladies really want is to be the CEO of a board meeting.. Where all of your little suborniantes come up with the ideas for you. And you get to sit there and cherry pick their ideas and inspirations and make the final decision while patting yourself on the back for it. oh yeah and ...YOU drive me there. YOU make the reservations.... YOU pay the bill. All I want as a woman is to sit there for the fun and best parts. That's what I look for in a guy. To be my tool. That's why I like my men in suits. Because it means they're important and have money and can do all that shi t for me. Do you guys ever listen to yourselves? It blows my mind. Yeah men are tired of it. This is why you hear all the time "dating is dead in 2022" "Dating apps" is the only way to find someone. Why is it so hard to date. Litterally all the cards are in your hands and all the balls in your court. Us men are easy, simple and pretty damned forgiving with very little expectations.
Yeah I think that women will only ever actually like you if you were a friend they knew for a long time...Mostly they only like men for what they have and not for who they are..but I believe this goes both ways I mean men also like women mostly only for their looks..people are very shallow
Dude, you're advocating weak-butt behavior. All you said is the reason you're not getting laid. It's weak! The sooner you come to terms with that & work on yourself, the sooner you'll get laid!
you know, she is right, you shouldn't be any of these four things. But, I completely agree with you. There is a lot of hypocrisy when women have so many issues, past trauma, etc etc and you are supposed to be as forgiving and compassionate as possible but god forbid you go on a rant because you had a bad day and now you're unattractive. I find it often that my friends will be unhappy and suck up a lot of stuff from their woman, but as soon as a man shows any sign of weakness, the women is packed up and out the door. Sucks man
The problem is women have options while they are young, so this is why women can't just like a man for who they are, there will always be another option that is better. This is why as a man you need to be assertive and be the best version of yourself, funny, good looking, rich, happy, horny, and then make yourself available to her, if not, then another guy will and it's not like she ISNT liking you for being you, she's just picking someone else who is themselves but better.
Bruh its crazy how majority of the things we were told thay a woman wanted. And told how to treat a woman and act towards them was all backwards. I wonder how many of us went thru unecessary pain bc we were lied to.
@@remilane9206 Blue Pill Conditioning, Bruh. Every man has to wake up and take the Red Pill. I did after getting crushed in an early relationship when I acted the way I thought girls wanted. I was wrong. Now, understand this. The Red Pill is not Black Pill/MGTOW. It's actually how to have a healthy relationship with women. It's knowledge AND application. You can be married 30 years and be RP. Indeed in modern society to get to be married 30 years REQUIRES the Red Pill!
Courtney, I think your 100 5 on this. I was all those things. Came out a loss of wife of 43 yrs. No experience in dating other than her. Met a beauty that was interested in same things as me but I was still shaking form loss and could not understand much. Thank you
I think when her very first question is “What do you do for a living?” Is a huge attraction killer. She just wants to know how much resources she can take advantage of if she sticks around you.
That's kinda unfair...unless you read clear gold digger vibes from her, she may just be trying to make conversation. Because most people can connect on that. Knowing someone's job can also give clues into their personality.
If you are here looking for relationship/dating advice, here is a tip. Don't agree to go out with someone unless you are open to being a partner to them. No one is perfect. You have issues, they have issues, the magic happens when you both work on each other together while tackling life's difficulties as a team.
Everyone has different needs in a relationship and those needs may change over time. What you are implying someone should never do may be exactly what that someone's special someone needs. Be open to what comes ;)
@@danielhartley9003 Someone's Special Someone? Their Soulmate? Their One? Who talks this way? Blue Pill, White Knight Capt. Save-a-Hoe, that's who. You go out with someone to DECIDE whether you want to be with them and as a guy you NEED to have STANDARDS, BOUNDARIES and be able to spot RED FLAGS. Yes, no one is perfect but that's not what many guys need to hear. They need to be more selective, not less.
The world isn't a red or blue place and not everyone is bitter or playing those kind of social games with titles. The thing about pills is, you don't have to take them ;) Relationships are complex enough without throwing in the lastest engineered terms to create artificial heuristics. People are individuals, not products from a production line that can be generalized.
@@danielhartley9003 Dating is nothing like relationships. But it is the price of the ticket. Dating is a social game, it is compulsory to find heterosexual companionship, and it is also fucked up bullshit. How do most people get thru it? _By being products that can be generalized._ You need to put your dreams and your needs aside, participate fully in this bullshit game, and take it _seriously_ - enough that you become experienced and good at it. For a heterosexual, especially a man, there is NO alternative.
Women fear weak men, for good evolutionary reasons, so turn away from a man who shows vulnerability. Not hating on women on this jssue, but most women just don';t want to know about men's problem. They want a man who is a rock and offers them stability. Just a fact. You are better talking through your issues with a male friend or better still a trained professional.
@@storyok3261 and even hot or rich get accused of emotional vomiting. And it sucks, because if you're asked certain questions, sometimes you want to give a detailed answer that explains your position, vs a "yes" or "no" or "My marriage lasted one year" reply, because you risk being wrongly judged, if you don't. So it's a no win situation with some women.
@@Lonstermash I was partly joking. My point is really just that it depends how much the girl likes you. Women make their own fantasy in their head. For example, if a girl loves a man and he beats her. She will convince herself it is because he loves her. Its really at the end of the day just excuses. Women will creates excuses for why they like or don't like you. They think they are seeing reasons, but really it's just excuses for how they felt anyway.
My ex was constantly emotionally vomiting over text and I can absolutely agree with Courtney here. It was probably the number one reason why I lost attraction for her and it really took its toll on our relationship. At first I didn't see it as a bad thing because I thought she was just being vulnerable, but now looking back it was a huge red flag that I wish I didn't overlook. Trust your gut, boys. Not your dick.
@@personalgoogleaccount9694 their would probably be less babies overall lol . But I do see you point though, you should only have kids with someone who you really love, and not someone who you don’t .
I've come to view "being vulnerable" like the "what are your weaknesses" question on job interviews; people don't want to just listen to you describe negative things, they want to see that you're taking ownership of them and taking steps to improve things. I'm not surprised a lot of people stumble on the "being vulnerable" thing given how many people stumble on the "what are your weaknesses" question in job interviews
@@Robert_Westwood Bullshit helps in interviews, and bullshit is CRUCIAL in dating. It's how we get to the next level, where maybe, for awhile, we both can be genuine.
Job interviews don't mean nothing emotionally or doesn't require any kinda vulnerability, u could fake a weakness n tell them or sugar coat ur weaknesses to present them something as something else. But being vulnerable is different it's being raw with ur emotions n tell what are u experiencing really n what's on ur mind without a filter or fear. If a woman think u complaining about a shitty job is over-bearing n emotional vomitting then thats the women's problem. And then women wonder why men are not vulnerable with them.
Watching listening paying attention and learning from you and your channel has changed my life completely.... I started a RUclips channel because of you court. and when I make it big with my gtaV channel... god said you're getting a chunk of the change... that's all I know...
Women want a guy that is confident, runs his life with decisions and schedules - but are consistently are late and waste a guys time. Women want a guy that shares his emotions ... but not too much - and remember guys, anything you say can & will be used against you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but 100% on the way out the door. Never be clingy - give her a consistence, persistence, attentive, supportive, connected, concerned, safe, secure atmosphere ..... and she will leave you for the Bad Boy that gives her none of those. Watch for it - it is nearly inevitable. Have a purpose in life - and never make it a girl. Treat them like transactional, utilitarian, temporary and disposable - treat them like furniture, cause they will dump your dumb a$$ the moment something better, different, dangerous, taller, richer or more clout comes along.
Remember, everything you are saying is 100% true if you want to date women on par with you. If you want to date down, you can break every single rule Courtney just talked about. Women will respond all throughout the day to your needy text messages if you want to talk to her that much and tap out of this f'd up hypergamy dating market.
This is absolutely why I choose to be single right now. I know I'm in a couple of these categories and I don't want a relationship while I work on it. To be absolutely honest, I'm not working on myself with the end goal of being with a woman, but rather for my own peace of mind. Still kind of fun to see whats going on in the relationship world every now and then tho, ie. channels like this.
You’re absolutely doing the right thing. I wish you luck becoming more focused and likeable by yourself. I think it’s important to not humiliate us (men) more trying to be with someone when we still have tons of developmant and maintanence still to do on ourselves - this for several reasons.
Same here dude ... I'm single for the first time in my life - and now is not only my time to heal from the past, but also to work on myself. Absolutely not interessting in dating - especially since i've discrovered Courtneys channel here :D
Like the other guy said. You dont need to be perfect to get into a relationship. Chances are the girl your going to be with is gonna have alot of baggage and your gonna have to work with that. Good luck 👍
There's nothing wrong with telling your gal about your day so that she understands what you go through but, yes, the negativity, the complaining and the fact that you aren't doing anything to change your circumstances, or at least influence them, yes, that is your own darn fault and if she doesn't like it that is her prerogative
Agreed. Unproductive whining and complaining is a turn off in both sexes. And it leads to the other person getting frustrated and trying to solve the problem for the complainer, which is ALSO a relationship mistake. Basically opens a nasty Pandora's Box of toxicity (I speak from experience, unfortunately)
As true as your comment may be. I find it more than a little ironic that women will constantly complain about their problems to you, but will also be upset with you, when you try and help them solve their problems.
Here's the summary of your video. Be the strong and silent type or don't say to much because the women will take some things as weaknesses and think it is a turn off. Be dominant (i.e bad boy) and not passive. Got it.
Things that make women lose attraction 1) Be Genuine 2)Show her that you care 3) Provide No Drama 4)Be Consistent Do these 4 things and yo A$$ will immediately get FRIENDZONED:)
So right about that. I know that through experience. When you’re ambiguous with your feelings and show you don’t really care that’s when they work harder for your attention. If you show neediness and appeasement that’s when you’re ass get friendzoned.
The more i watch these videos the more id rather be the guy women “hate”, literally nail and bail.. women don’t see the irony in these vids, they are creating emotionless robots who pick sex only and then complain about theres no good guys: you reap what you sew
You're right, women in the 50's in America wouldnt friend zone the man you describe, they would marry them quickly. This is the devolution of the modern "westernized woman" in the dating scene.
What on earth is wrong with women? Life is full of uncertainties and just because I am a man I don’t have it easy. That’s right ladies - MEN DONT HAVE IT EASY. There are days when I feel down and would want to vent out about he crappy job that I am working. If I am telling my partner all about it, its because she is the only person in the entire world I feel I can do that with. We do not expect you to fix anything for us, but the least, THE ABSOLUTE FREAKING LEAST you can do for him is to just be PATIENT and LISTEN, instead off passing of stupid judgments like “oh this guy doesn’t have his crap together, I better start making contingency plans”.
Amen, bro. Couldn't have said it better. Why stop at the crappy job? Imagine losing a parent or loved one or even a good friend and you cry over their loss and she aggressively says "stop crying and get over it!" instead of being supportive and being there for consolation, that's one of the biggest red flags to have zero sympathy and compassion for guys who they expect to feel nothing even after losing someone they cared for
You forget that relating to one another as human beings is a luxury few intimate heterosexual relationships can afford, and a burden many cannot withstand. Most that find a human level are no longer centered on sex or gender, due to aging or the growth of family. A couple can only begin and grow close as a microcosm of the social world, with all its roles and poses - gender above all. We must first be men and women to one another, or we will be profoundly alone as humans. We earn our refuge from society only by acting our role in society. Humans are souls, but men and woman are beings of the heart. The heart is not the soul. The heart "wants what it wants." It doesn't care for the needs of the soul. It can't understand needs, only desires. It binds the soul, but cannot protect it. We must treat the heart and soul differently, and learn when to relate in the roles of men and women and when to relate as humans. Otherwise, the heart _and_ the soul are liable to suffer lasting damage.
Complacency better be on this list! ANYTHING&EVERYTHING in life can be ruined/lost/damaged due to complacency. Trust me folks. Men need to always keep pushing forward and learning more. Let women get into a routine because they naturally do not want complacency and will always seek to make things vibrant but men work so much they too wanna rest and have peace; well, that's her job to provide that peace so KEEP DOING THE WORK, men!
I agree with you but this should be for everyone not men only. Kids, students, workers, women etc… need to always strive for better and not be complacent.
I feel like these 4 things in the video are the pre-dating or maybe early dating red flags. I don't think being clingy is like a thing after a year+ of dating - you've both likely banged dozens of times, you're both in full comfort of one another. And this is where I believe the complacency issue starts... (separate from the list in this video).
I didn't know the right word or term of explaining what my last relationship was like until this video. It started off as a vulnerability of the things we would share but after experiencing the emotional vomiting from her end, it created new boundaries for me. It made things too depressing and I couldn't hang onto that.
Firstly, well done Courtney 👏 I find your thoughts and perspective refreshing. I usually don't have the desire to leave comments but with this video I definitely did. The points raised were spot on. On the topic of lack of control (especially a lack of control emotionally), I have personally found it is best to remain non-reactive in provoking/unsettling circumstances. The ability to remain calm and collected when most would not allows you to analyze a situation at face value without "clouded judgement" and essentially allows you to effectively mitigate the issue at hand (whatever it may be). Sometimes a reaction is just a distraction. Being self aware exudes a level of confidence that others either consciously or subconsciously pick up on. People are naturally more inclined to want to be around others who are emotionally in control of themselves as opposed to those who are emotionally unstable. This due to the fact that the latter is viewed as unpredictable and sometimes destructive, whereas the former is viewed as predictable and reliable.
Been watching your videos these past few weeks. I really appreciate the effort you put towards them. I’m understanding relationships & women better over time by putting what you teach into practice. Definitely educational and a professional environment you create, thank you for your efforts!
#4 clicked in my head with a metaphor: If you are aimed at someone you will crash into them, if you are aimed at the same place you will end up there together.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the difference between vulnerability and emotional vomiting. Some times emotional vomiting can come off as manipulative trick or a pity party. I have issues with this too. Personally I take my time to understand if my partner is ready for me to unload some baggage.
Yes, but sometimes it's simply being candid when someone asks you a question that deserves a longer answer than "yes" or "no" or "one year." With me, when I'm asked why my marriage only lasted one year, if I don't explain that it was due to my ex wife's alcoholism that got substantially worse just before our wedding and all of the other wonderful things that went along with her alcoholism (major dishonesty and even some physical violence during arguments), I probably risk looking like a commitment phobe.
@@Lonstermash great point. During the time I'm getting to know someone, my primary focus is if they are mature enough to handle emotional baggage. I have had relationships that ended because a girl wanted to be more intimacy but was unprepared for what happens after. In those cases, I just say that she wasn't ready for what I was looking for and try not to allow it to get the best of me. It gets easier, the more I practice it. Emotional vomiting and vulnerability seems to differ from woman to woman and its up to you whether the woman in front of you is mature enough to understand that your emotional turmoil is part of being in an intimate relationship or not.
@@janpauledwarddedios5366 thanks. Now, try receiving such investigative questions from a woman trying to vet you on a first date or even a first phone conversation! Then what do you do to avoid being unfairly judged for your past, yet not be seen as emotionally vomiting even while maintaining a calm tone of voice
@@Lonstermash that's a lot to unpack.. long story short... I'll just move on.. you get judged either way.. I dated someone for 2 years and as much as I liked to say I kept my cool when it ended I did not. It did affect me with subsequent relationships but I'm not going to feel i lost something that wasn't that worth investing in the first place. I rather be judged by my truth than by lies. If the person across from you doesn't like that then time to find another girl.
Erm you do know that just being vulnerable for a few seconds is enough for women to regard it as "emotional vomitting"? Basically you show any vulnerability to women and they will disqualify you, yet when asked if men should be vulnerable they give the politically correct answer. Just know that if you are with a woman, you should be prepared to provide for her and be her emotional punching bag yet she's not gonna share any burden with you.
Great video as always! Still can't shake how unfortunately common this is.. I tried talking to and asking out this woman who I was interested in from college and she was quick to say she's really good friends with her ex and that I had to be okay with that if we went on another date. Why keep someone from the past but still actively want someone new / for your future? Not the first woman this happens with...
that's a huge red flag, do not proceed. first, she doesn't respect you, she's basically flaunting it in your face that she still does stuff with her ex, "good friend" more like FWB lol - and that you would need to accept that about her (cuck). second, she's stuck in her past, if she doesn't focus on you and only you then you're wasting your time my brother. all this terminology makes me feel like im some red pilled guru (i really couldn't care less about red pill) but im just trying to give you my sincere advice. best of luck!
4 is a good point. After college I really didn’t have any social outlets, just work, the gym, then home. I joined a chess club and got involved with the community theater, which has helped me make new friends and get me out of my shell
I was always passive in our marriage. I pretty much always did what she wanted and gave her what she wanted. Classic "Nice Guy Syndrome" stuff. When I learned this wasn't ideal and started doing as you said by having an opinion, making decisions and sticking to them or not agreeing to something she wanted to do that I really didn't want and taking charge and being a leader. Those are some of the things she used against me when she wanted a divorce.
Regarding #2, I think an incredibly important thing to note for guys gals and all others, is that it's okay to complain about your day when you have a bad day. It's okay to come home and say "Well we had this really bad customer and I got in a disagreement with a coworker which turned into a big fight and it was just so stressful." Once In A While; And in a clear concise way.. You shouldn't be whining about it all day long, or bringing it up 6 different times that day. Just say "I had a bad day", explain why, and then cuddle up(or do whatever you and they do for affection) to show them they make you feel better! It's when you do this to your significant other Every. Single. Day. That it becomes emotional vomitting. It's stressful to the person you're doing it to; You're constantly dumping negativity on them, and no one wants or should have to suffer that; It's also when you do it every single day that it becomes less "you being vulnerable" and more "You've completely lost control of your work life."
Reals, not feels. What's tearing you apart inside doesn't matter a damn to someone who expects you to fill a role. And "significant other" is a role. So is "man." And you don't get to unilaterally rewrite the script. That's a privilege earned by playing the role well and getting to stay around.
I've learned a good 2-2-2 rule so you balance your life with your relationship: - Bring them on a date once every 2 weeks - Invite them to do something thrilling or spontaneous once every 2 months - Bring them on a vacation/roadtrip once every two years
If you are both working as hard as you are supposed to, and can afford it, 1 vacation a year is better . The rest of it is good. If a little sparse on dates. But once every 2 weeks is definitely an achievable goal
@@odium3691 I'll admit my time frames were sparse, mainly because I've mostly been in long distance relationships. Not to mention I haven't been on a vacation in 10+ years so I'm a bit uneducated on a healthy balance of when to go. Definitely accelerate some of these if you can afford it, but this is the rule I stick to by default.
It’s important to self reflect and avoid doing some of these things, but at the same time don’t be to hard on urself. Ur partner does not have to be turned on all the time. It’s not ur job to make sure they are always turned on this is not a porno, we’re all human and humans can be repulsive sometimes
One of the reasons I find Buddhism such a wonderful spiritual system is that it teaches your "salvation", if you will, rests ENTIRELY within you!! You will never obtain it from any "external" source--only YOU can validate and accept you!! I think whenever you enter a relationship looking for any kind of validation you are headed for trouble. All relationships should be a "synergy"--each person's energy, heart and soul flowing freely into the other person. It's the purest and most beautiful sharing that there is in life and that's what is meant by the phrase "two that become one."
Sometimes emotional vomiting happens because the person wasn't getting an opportunity to be vulnerable before. They were getting denied and then the one time she does listen, everything comes out. It sucks for sure but it happens.
This means you have no healthy outlet. Appearing out of control, lacking in coping methods, lacking in close friends to talk to, etc. These are all unattractive things. When my wife asks how my day was, “Not bad” and then deflect on her so she can do the talking. By the time I got home, I already addressed my day with someone else or went to the gym, or drove around listening to thrash metal.
@@vijayiyer8518 I can see that. That’s where you have friends (I suggest other men) that you confide in. For me, there are distinct differences between my spouse and my friends and one of those differences is I am a friend to my friends and a husband to my wife. I have a job my wife would never understand, so what’s the point of talking with her about it?
Dude there is a very thin line between emotional vomiting and being vulnerable men can't balance that we have to stay stoic and keep own sufferings, feelings, sorrows to ourselves if we ever have to impress a woman that's the only way.
Good video Courtney. Most points are quite obvious but the ’women need to feel secure’ is more of a imagined opinion from women rather than what they actually seek in real life. I’m stunned when I see the risks some women take just to date a looser then complaining ’all men…’.
The emotional vomiting issue works both ways. Especially when one continually complains about one or more problems and refuses to do anything to remediate them. Had this happen with a woman I dated recently. No matter what I suggested she do to fix the problem/s, she always seemed to prefer to remain a victim and continue to complain scream and cry to me about them. Fortunately, she had her own place and I was able to convince her that it would be best if she went back to stay at her place. (Initially not permanently, and that I wanted to continue to date her, but that I thought this way would be best until she was able to work out her familial issues) She then complained claiming that she felt like she was being punished (like a 5 year old might act) and then eventually blamed me saying that it was because we were incompatible and then broke up with me. Which is what Iwas actually shooting for in the first place (lol).. It’s called the Sam Kinison method, only without all of the coke and liquor…
3:33 I would say that to anyone at the appropriate time, not as an opener. I don't see how that is emotional vulnerability, it's just a potential career plan. A better example about emotional vulnerability is telling your partner about how you feel about her flirting with your friend, but that could turn into emotional vomiting, depending on how it is done.
Thank you so much for these videos. Most of these things (other than a life passion) are very big issues with people that have autism spectrum disorder though not for the reasons that you mention are what typically causes them. As I have Asperger's Syndrome I find myself doing all of these things out of compulsion and difficulty with social interactions despite knowing not to do them. Thankfully there are people out there like you doing these videos as watching them does help reinforce the concept and helps, at least for me, to catch myself when I do them (sometimes in time and sometimes after the damage is done.) Out of all the content creators on the subject of social interaction that I watch or read you are one of the best and put it in a way that isn't demeaning to people that may have these issues whether on autism spectrum and a compulsion or just those that are socially unaware. Thank you so much you make self-improvment not only easier but less embarrassing!!!!
100%. Chris Hemsworth could cry like a lil school girl complaining about his day on a hot woman's shoulder and she would consider that being cute and vulnerable.
@@brent4073 It is the truth. And nobody will admit it. If you are average, you almost go completely unnoticed in this age of online world. Chris Hemsworth could literally do anything he wants and get let off just because of his face. Kind of insane. Also quite common to see these sketches where people approach random people on the street on TikTok and do weird stuff to 'mess with them'. I can guarantee if it wasn't HOT or CUTE guys doing the pranks it would be classed as harassment. And the women would be calling cops. Society is weird.
Courtney this is off-topic, but I was downtown Cleveland Friday, and man it has changed a lot in the past 5 years WOW. The East Bank looks completely different. So many new bars and clubs! It was packed.
I have seen guys who will totally drop everything when they get involved in a relationship and become obsessed with the girl. They shun their friends, family and hobbies just to wait on her hand and foot. It is as if an alien came and body snatched them and replaced them with somebody unrecognizable. In every case, it never works out. I just don't get the obsession. I'm too darn busy to make some girl the total center of my life.
Yep I’ve seen that. They get into a relationship and they just drop off the face of the earth. That’s bad. I play basketball on Wednesday. And will continue to do so and any woman will have to accept that. If not there’s the door
Video ideas: - contervsial styles - differences between a bad boy and a tough guy (unless it's more of a movie and tv show fiction) - fictional character styles ( too get an in sight of we're we get our styles and inspirations from)
My ex wife actually wanted most of these things. Which is what lead to breaking up. She wanted passivity and got mad that I wasn’t jealous etc. Was not healthy or fun.
After reviewing these videos about what woman want, what they hate, what a man needs to be and why, what he should look like....it's quite frankly , terrifying! I don't see kindness in that list....I dont see caring, intellect and smarts, empathy and and gentle, loving ability to foster the growth of a child. I see everything that confirms the worst shallowness of today's dating scene and I want no fucking part of it! I will wait for a kind, loving caring woman who wants those same qualities from me and if I die before she comes along, so be it. Who knows.....maybe that woman no longer exists.
2:26 Don't you just love it when a woman invalidates the things you say. HAHAHAHA LMFAO Sometimes "emotional vomiting" needs to happen before someone can actually be vulnerable. Why do women do this? We made up a term, determined our definition of it and judge you for not complying with our wishes.
Great video Courtney. The specific details and comparing/contrasting you do in this video are so in-depth, and are never explained this precisely anywhere. Please keep doing highly detailed videos like this, I think they'll benefit people immensely.
And damn'it now I am subscribed. I don't agree with everything that you say in your videos but they're very informative and gives a lot of insight. Thanks.
I like most of Courtney's stuff, but the ultimate problem with this/these videos is that they ignore the fact that women can simply pick up and start a dalliance/relationship as and when they please with no emotional/time investment. Abundance is the de facto situation for them. This isn't some kind of incel rant, it just rings hollow somewhat when women tell men not to be emotionally vomit/needy, as they (women) are given free range to be all of these things and suffer no consequences.
Life certainly isn't fair. Women want to be able to live through whatever emotions they are experiencing at the time. To do that safely, they need you to be their rock. If you are acting in a more feminine, emotional manner, then 1) you will appear to be gay, which most women aren't attracted to, 2) you will attract more masculine women, which is probably not what you want, or 3) you will make women feel insecure, and they will toss you out, so that they can find a guy who *CAN* be their rock.
Who tf cares tho. High value men arent picking those types of girls up for relationships. A woman needs to work on herself just as much as a man to get the relationship she wants and has less power over her looks which matter the most. Its way better being a man. You're only thinking of it through a lense of getting easy sex which isnt fulfilling for anyone. If you're not putting in the effort you dont deserve a girl. So go out there and become a man and stop complaining. Be someone you admire and others will too.
@@matthalo89 There's a flip side to the observation. First, most women won't actively go out and approach men, so their choices are limited to the men who approach them. Many won't even bother developing their dating skills, as they don't have to when abundance works in their favor. Later on, this makes things more difficult for them. Second, while abundance might seem enjoyable at first, it becomes an annoyance for many women. They have incredibly superficial standards, simply because they have to weed out some of the men. Even after they've chosen a guy, they still have guys approaching them, so who wouldn't be tempted to find a bigger, better deal? Third, women go from abundance to scarcity relatively quickly, from their 20's to when most hit the wall in their 40's. There's also no magic wand they can wave to find a good man-- the guy who looks great today, can be abusive, lose his job, turn out to be gay, etc. at the worst possible time for a woman, as she hits middle age. The really smart women recognize the illusion of beauty for what it is, and lock down a high-quality guy when they are both still relatively young. The women who fail to do so, find dating gets progressively harder.
Courtney is such a breath of fresh air like wow she really came at a good time in my life where I am getting older and need to know this but ugh I wish I knew all this before 😔
I use to think women wanted a macho man but later I realized they didn't want a partner who seeks validation from them. Confidence is impossible to measure so I don't seek it.
If you're really being yourself, then you're not "trying" to get dates. You're in the moment. Having fun. Not worried about whether you're attractive or not. But people don't have faith that theyre good enough just as they are. So they learn how to be "attractive" which is just a bunch of crap anyway that has nothing to do with being real and authentic. So be yourself. Just be prepared to never get dates, because people who date are usually learning how to love themselves by getting the approval of others. So Why not skip that step and just stick to yourself, forget dating, and know that just being yourself is already perfect.
I still try to do me because I believe it’s the right thing to do and I try to do what’s the best because I want the best situation for me but everything seem pretty complicated with relationship wise and im 20. This is embarrassing for me🤦🏻
@@julianfelix7652 but what, then, are you supposed to do if you see or even meet someone you find attractive and would like to get to know better? You kind of have to "date" them in order to do this, and, at least in my case, it has nothing to do with lack of self love/self esteem.
I agree with all of these points. I hate to admit that this year I've been too focused on myself, just not too sure if I'm doing the right thing but I feel like I am doing the right thing in my heart. I've taken up dance lessons and finally going to the gym (lost 25 lbs or more within 7 months). But guys please stop these bad habbits, just work on yourself trust me I used to be scared and insecure but working out and most importantly working on myself made me a better man. Though I am still single I'm happy of everything I've done this year in terms of focusing on myself.
keep at it man. There's nothing wrong with putting yourself first. Being your own MENTAL POINT OF ORIGIN is the first step to a great life, including success with women.
And yet they fall mostly for men who never truly commit to them -- inscrutable and emotionally distant players with many options, whom they can neither trust nor rely on, and who might dump them any day. Whereas more often than not the guys who could actually make them feel secure get friendzoned. One of countless female contradictions.
@@iancavon7125 That's right. A degree of emotional unavailability can draw women in, strangely. Women want to feel secure but also enjoy the emotional rollercoaster that some guys can keep the on. It doesn't make sense but then neither do women.
I'm thankful that you carefully defined emotional vulnerability with examples, but you may really want to come up with a different term. I don't know of any man who views the sharing of hopes and dreams (woodworking per example) as vulnerability. Sharing your hopes and dreams means you have goals, purpose, and ambition. These are all positives and strengths, not weaknesses or vulnerabilities. Being vulnerable for most men would be more akin to sharing fears, failures, and insecurities. Those are for sure vulnerabilities and I seriously doubt a lot of women would care too much for that. Maybe it would be a good idea to get Men to define what they think is vulnerability so we can make sure our communication is on the same page.
Another great video! The takeaway from this is emotional intelligence. I'm not a fan of where I'm at currently with managing emotions, but I'm still working on it
Emotional intelligence is part heart and part skill. But it's not very useful without _social_ intelligence, which is almost all skill - and often has to lead and force EI to follow. You could say SI is the real "manager." It's concerned with more than being decent or caring (which is the heart of EI). SI augments EI because it tempers your decency and caring into a form that others can see and value. It makes sure you're hitting the "metrics" (often abstractions) that get results and bring people into your life.
@@antonboludo8886 Absolutely. But it doesn't follow from learning EI. It has to be earned out in the world, from failure, mistakes, loss, hurt, and always - _always_ - coming back for more.
Courtney: You really need to think about addressing the fact we are descending into a deep recession and thing will change dynamics. Love your channel. I agree with you the vast majority of the time. Men will have to step up as our economy crashes to the ground. I do agree that women hate weakness as I have done this couple times over couple relationships. Women hate men being vulnerable unless a death is involved. Anything else is a no go. Only death event is allowed guys. Nothing else. 25 years of relations and couple marriages. Women absolutely hate weakness if you have always come across strong.
4:40 I’m conflicted on this one. Firstly, I can’t think of a single woman I’ve dated who hasn’t complained about their workday to me. It’s literally the first thing that comes up whenever we talk or see each other again. I’m typically not the type to complain in general, and most of the time I just sit there and listen, but even that in itself can take a toll on ME especially if I’ve had a horrible day myself.
@@lexicon4u Yes it is, but guess what, men and women are different. Stop looking for equality in relationships. Just let the girl talk, interjecting phrases like "that sounds very upsetting" or "really? That must be hard". Don't try to fix her problems because when you do you'll only make her resent you or be co-dependent on you and the cycle will continue.
I would lose attraction to a man if he doesn't know what he wants in our relationship, comes and goes as he pleases. When I'm in a relationship, I would to commit to the relationship but that takes work.
Hate to break it to you, but not every man can spend time with you 24/7. For example, I live a very busy life and I can’t be around a person 24/7. However, I will make time for that person when I have time to spare.
@@B1GK1NG Good point but I never said I wanted to be with him 24/7. I was pointing out that he should know what he wants in a relationship and he and I have the same wants. What kind of woman does he want. Example: A good wife, good mother. Does he want children. Does he want a woman who's successful with her job and financially successful. You can do want you want in your relationship as long as you and her want similar things in a relationship and make it work.
@@Courtney-Alice-Gargani that true. Not sure if you saw my post above but indecisiveness is one the the turnoffs I mention. A man should know what he wants and covey his needs with confidence. If I like a woman and am very attracted to her physically and mentally, I’ll let her know right on the spot. Trying to be the “nice guy” is disingenuous. Many women can spot the bullshit from a mile away and will toss that person into the friendzone.
The explaination for the "wanted or right way of showing" vulnerability for a men... is so awfull and cruel!!! it really hits hard. I think your completly right in the fakt that what you describe as "emotional vomiting" is a huge turn off for woman. I had to experiance and learn that the hard way. Your video is really great in giving men a very cold, harsh but honest answer to how most women feel about those topics. So great job there :) At the end of the Day.. Women desire men that have themself, there emotions and life completly or at least mostly under control. After all he is supposed to take care of here. But!!! The Idea that a man should/can share his issues, insecruritys, problems and struggels of his live.. ONLY! ..under the circumstance that he has allready completely dealt with them + an answer or plan at hand.. or otherwise risk loosing his girls/wifes attraction.. is truely sad. I understand why "emotional vomiting" is extremly unsexy. Seeing someone in a weak or even desperate state, simply doesn't inspire confedance. It leaves the women in a position where she would be expected to take care of him. To help and support him even thoe she's wants it the other way around. First, if one can't share his emotional struggles with his significant other at a point where he has no idea what to do about it, where is the point in saying it at all? So it only leaves the option of looking for someone else to help or simply talk to. We men aren't perfect beings 😂Building a strong an confident charackter that can deal with alomst all things alone takes a long time and even more effort.. and at the end no one is perfect. If I can't share weak, vulnerable moments with a "partner" than she simply isn't one! Yes, only whining and complqanying is shit. But everyone deserves to say his truth at least once! And a good partnership is about give and take. At this point i probably do this video unjustice. After all it's about how women fell about those things. Not how it should be or how extremly sexist it is. And hey.. the other 4 points are luckily really reasonable. So as the take-away i would say... just don't do it at the beginning of the relationship... And don't be an overly crybaby and start doing something about it afterwards! Learn to comunicate the solutions wehn you found them. So it's not always only the negativ things she hears from you. But if she can't be there for you, wehn you have a really bad time.. wehn you just want to vomit emotionaly.. to lett it all out.. at least from time to time.. than it's an unhealty partnership or none at all. If you can't be your weakest in front of her.. That's a huge turn off for me as a man. Something i wouldn't want anymore in a future partner/girlfrind/wife.
That's alot of Vital Details For Men to look Out for...Most be lacking In some areas and still Blame the opposite sex...Sometimes a woman is a Reflection of the Man In Her Life.🌷
@@sandeshrangari694 Seem We Both Have Different Beliefs,However I Respect Your Beliefs,But It Might Not Always Be True As We Have To Expect To Receive 👍
LOL men have been working jobs, providing, protecting a family for a millenia. They still do that in 2022. It is women who entered the workforce who royally f'd this all up. Two people having careers and no one to look after the kids DOES NOT WORK!
Hello! Ms Courtney. I came across your videos and had liked and subscribed it too. Now, I am definitely not the right person who can exactly tell what turn down a woman ,but certainty she will love to be with a purpose-full ,high in social order guy. I seriously felt blessed to find such content on you tube (created by you) and YOU are a👸 GREAT,ELEGANT,POLISHED and APPEALING LADY I have ever seen -TEACHING MEN'S about "What it is To Be An ACTUAL MAN " 💪💪 Keep going, eye opening😱 and inspiring video😊💞💞
This is why my elders have always told me to “hear your woman but don’t listen to her”. As much as she says she wants you to open up and be express your feelings she really really doesn’t.
Fantastic advice, Courtney! I think I am hearing that though have solutions that my tendency is want complain but forget to share with folks my changes to improve stuff.
There is always a danger with relationships when a person overthinks. Emotional overthinking will ruin a persons life. A mutual commitment is better than consistently analyzing your partner. Be strong and courageous for your partner at all times while strengthening your own weaknesses. Life is complex and there is no need to create problems to fix problems. Take time to know a person instead of building a fantasy around them.
I'd like a future video on how to tackle social anxiety (not just being introverted which I believe is completely different), what's the best treatment? Going to the gym actually helps me a bit mentally but my SA still creeps in no matter what, even when I know a woman is interested & in many other parts of my life. I've had SA since forever & only ever had 2 gfs (both just lasted months) in my lifetime because I'm still afraid to approach (they approached/asked me out), life sucks here & I'm sure any guys here like me with SA can agree...
Look up social animal RUclips channel. Great channel for this stuff. He meets his subscribers and coaches on how to approach people in general (usually girls). Watching guys go out a tackle their fear of rejection is very motivating. So I’d give it a look.
I feel you brother, I struggle with it a lot too. I know it seems too simple to be true but it's one of those things that you just have to walk into and just do it. That's how we grow as people, we charge head on into our greatest fears and tackle whatever makes us most afraid, uncomfortable, anxious ect. Sure, you may fall a few times maybe even a lot but if you keep doing it then you eventually will only get better and at some point you'll be good at it and you'll look back at your progress with such pride because you grew so much as a person. I realized this when I accepted a promotion at my job about a year ago. I was very green in the field and terrified of doing the job, but I knew I had to do it for my own growth. Now I'm good at it and I'm making more money. I don't know where I'd be if I stayed in that other dead end job out of fear and complacency. Imagine how much your SA is holding you back and maybe that will motivate you to tackle the fear.
I removed most of my social anxiety by forcing myself to talk to women in challenging places.. ie on the street, grocery store, uni etc. Its just exposure. Id give myself some leeway if possible and accept that its something that will get better over time with experience. Cardio, cutting out sugar and dairy helps too. Intermittent fasting, meditation and positive thinking. Nothing will beat exposure tho.
I mean they do say for best results, listen to both sides and come to your own conclusion, so at least we have one of thee best if not theeee best female perspective on these matters (here on RUclips that is)
Even with the economic times making it challenging for people to live a somewhat sustainable life, there's really no excuse for a man to have control over his life to some degree. The last thing you would want is for your life to be so chaotic that you can't even keep up with anything or solve any of your problems.
You don't need to worry if some people will "overreact" to your points; if they do, it's likely because it's a sore spot for them...they may be working on it and not like the reminder or they don't like it because it makes them uncomfortable. However, it's their psyche trying to tell them they need to fix it--which is what Dr. Jordan Peterson would conclude (and any other psychologist for that matter) is happening! I found all the points straightforward and helpful. I'm glad (once more) I don't make these mistakes...BUT I have seen many confuse vulnerability with the emotional "vomiting," as I always thought the vulnerability was the brief statement like you gave. Thanks for a great example. Things that would certainly drive a woman away (but not novel): 1) You treat your mother and your friends like garbage 2) It's obvious you manipulate 3) It's obvious you're not honest Since I've never had trouble with women telling me "I feel safe with you," I'll mention a 4th one I've heard mentioned more and more: 4) They don't feel an instant "spark" or "chemistry." Recent data on females on dating sites rejecting 85% of men as "not attractive enough," as cited by Dr. Jordan Peterson. I would not have believed that possible until he followed that up with data on female hypergamy where 75% of females choose mates that are across (similar salary/kind of job) or up (higher salary/job prestige) from them on the salary/job scale--because they want that economic stability. Curiously enough, 75% of females initiate divorce proceedings nowadays...so guys trying to do the right things REALLY have work cut out for them!
100%. Most modern day women are afraid of being a mother, wife and relying on a guy so they can forever put it off until 30 and they hit the wall. But hey, they got that degree and law firm job! The cats will get fed.
This is what hypergamy and sexual liberation of women created. A game of who cares less and women end up going only after the most attractive 20% of guys. It was a lot f'ing easier when women literally just said 'if you like it so much, put a f'ing ring on it or go away'
I agree once more. Emotional stable and leadership is also very important. Example Going out with a female friend. You just take the lead ( not in a cocky, aggressive way), choose the table, make a suggestion for her on the menu. Women are constantly thinking about what to wear, make-up... So many things going throw her head, then it's for her so refreshing that a Guy is stepping up, by taking the lead and she does not have to worry about these other things. Threat her as a person and pls be authentic. If you do not agree, you just say it. Do not try to impress her. If she asks about your ex, I just answer that's in the past and this is the present.
With all these "rules", or List of "Do's and Don't's" (from so many RUclipsrs) it's like women want/expect men, or a man to be absolutely "Perfect". That if a man has even one minor flaw, or doesn't check off every single box, he won't even get the time of day from a woman; regardless of how many "flaws" she may have. Whatever happened to taking the good with the bad and being realistic? Nobody's PERFECT; yet it seems women EXPECT a man to be in order to be "good enough" to have the honour/privilege of having her even talk to you. Yes there should be some standards, or basic requirements met; but there shouldn't be SO MANY RULES REQUIRED before you may even be considered.
Couldn't have said it better. You just mentioned the reasons why I take these videos with a grain of salt. Always remember that everyone is different, and yet there are people on RUclips like Courtney here, acting as if representing all women everywhere when fact she doesn't. In addition to what you said, it's as if she's assimilating even foreign viewers to American ways which won't work for some if it means stepping out of one's own culture and values. Not only that, but comply to her image of ideal, as if the problems always lie in the guys, or that we have more problems to fix than girls who are perfect little angels waiting to the right guys to come round which is a stupid assumption. And so the first point about the guy being a leader. Okay so if the guy plans out where to take the girl, and it turns out to be a strip club, without getting her opinion or input, and yet he made the firm decision to go there, is that going to be attractive to the girl? Courtney can argue this isn't what she meant and that it was inconsiderate, but how anyone be considerate to anyone they don't know? And how can anyone comply to vague "rules" as you mentioned? The solution to this problematic scenario is simple: just talk about the place you'll go to and come to an agreement. No need to make it a surprise, especially an unpleasant one.
@@michaelrespicio5683 The thing that really made me shake/scratch my head was in Courtney's video a few days ago about Summer Styling tips where she mentions going sockless even in favour of no show socks because at times you can still see a little of a no show sock. Now if a girl/woman is so shallow, or nit picky to reject someone JUST BECAUSE 1/8th of an inch of his "no show" socks MIGHT be showing of what might otherwise be a great, summer outfit, then OMFG WHO is the one with the problem? If something as nit picky as that will turn someone off, or cause them to reject you; then what the heck is wrong with the world?
@@jasonhurst8599 Again...could not have said it better, man. I thought the same thing. This is why I keep reminding myself and others to just wear what you like and screw what anyone else thinks as long as one does not look suspicious or is naked. It feels borderline like brainwashing, like "you can wear what you want but I'll still tell you what to wear anyway". She sees fashion differently than most other people; to those who don't care that much about style they see a bunch of clothes without much thought. Courtney sees "art" that needs to be done perfectly because it's the chick magnet and there are rules to consider when it does nothing for the most part. How often do people approach someone just because of their outfit? Not much I bet. Also dunno about you but let's be honest, does anyone actually remember everything she talks about...cause I don't. My brain learns things it deems relevant. Also she says girls hate this or notice that, even though they do or wear themselves. For example, she says girls hate graphic shirts...I've seen lots of girls wear graphic shirts or flip flops in warmer climates, why can't guys? Sorry for the tirade but for God's sake, screw what anyone thinks amd stop conforming to someone's ideal image
Also let's not forget that somebody makes these clothes. They have families to feed too so why can't we just appreciate what we have instead of giving in to pressure on being judged. It's ironic that she tells people to be confident and yet if one truly was, they wouldn't be influenced by this kind of stuff
@@michaelrespicio5683 Thanks Michael, and again, We'll said. I agree that your clothes should fit, and look presentable; bit you should not have to be perfectly matched, and coordinated, or GQ styled every single time you leave the house. Especially if it's just to run to the store for a loaf of bread. Also talking about the fit of clothes, it works both ways, and I'm sorry but there are some people - both men, AND women who should NOT WEAR TIGHT clothing or material such as spandex. But the bottom line again is, you could dress 100% of the time like a GQ cover model, have the greatest sense of humor, and personality, be the most confident person alive, have your life in exquisite order, etc; but if you're not "hot", or "cute", most women will never give you the chance to prove it because far more often than not they judge a book by its cover...aka your LOOKS.
To start, I’m a big fan of your work C.R. I think you are giving a lot of guys genuine good advice. I have an issue with one thing. I need to address the example you gave of being vulnerable. I thought it was a weak example to share something such as thoughts about a career change as being vulnerable. This diminishes what true vulnerability is IMO. For a man to show Vulnerability he may share a traumatic experience or a fear (one he keeps well hidden). His voice may crack, his hands might and shake and he may shed a tear. Not lose his control but, lower his emotional walls to grant permission for a special person to see his depth. This is real vulnerability. It doesn’t guide his actions but something he carry’s. The problem with this, is it is too high a risk to share with a girl. She would be turned off. Because of the example you gave I think it may be women in this case that may not typically understand the line between emotional vomit and vulnerability, however I do respect they know what turns them off. Food for thought.
" the person you are with is going to enhance your life and your happiness , not be your life and happiness " this one just made me think differently ...
We are lied to about love. It's two hearts in time, not two souls in harmony...unless it lasts a lifetime, and both gain the wisdom that is possible with age.
I haven't had a place in my life for a woman in 29 years which was the last time I was in a relationship. I don't see the point. I would rather be alone. I became a very strong man to learn how to be happy without women. No, I'm not gay if that's what your wondering.
I wasn't wondering. And frankly you are to be congratulated. Far too many men spend far too much time pursuing women. In fact the most successful men I know are unmarried, have no girlfriend, and don't date. They spend all of their time focusing on their professional careers, hobbies, the gym, and charity work.
My girlfriend was full of emotional vomit, was always very needy and clingy, and despite me being in a weak position I was still in a slightly stronger position than she was, that is why she always came to me. and for a while I was very supportive and I still consider her a friend but after a while the spark disappeared. she disappeared too, not that I hold it against her maybe she had something important to do she had a lot of problems and I hope she is ok. But if she doesn't reach out to me than I simply can't help her. But when women don't feel like they need you they wouldn't give you a time of day. I'm not saying all women are like that but many of them are. if they are weak they go to you, but when they are in stronger or equal position as you are, then many of them will see you as inferior and if you show any kind of weakness (maybe because you had more than your fair share of bad luck) then they at best see you as unworthy. At most will cause problems for you of all kinds. And as far as I'm concerned what you said just proves this point. I thought women grow up when they get above 25. In fact I thought women in their 30s are more mature than we are at that age. But it seems I was wrong. and they call us immature. maybe the reason why I act like a teenager sometimes is because I had no chance to really be a teenager when I was one. What is their excuse.
Is it just me or is a good portion of this list just things that women do that we’re expected to tolerate? Like complaining about work without presenting or wanting solutions or “emotional vomiting”? Which imo is a term that shouldn’t exist within the context of a relationship because all that tells me is I have to package my vulnerability in a way that is palatable to my woman. Which is the opposite of being able to be vulnerable without judgment.
That's what a good therapist, bartender, or drinking buddy are for. When you have been in a relationship for 50+ years with the same woman, and you're nearing the end of your life, then Yes, you can be totally honest, because, by that point, Who cares? Until then, when you're courting a woman, most men don't want to see her at her worst (without makeup, when she's sick, etc.). Same thing with women. They want to see you at your best, or, at the very least, that you can handle what life throws at you. Otherwise, it's unattractive. Do that too often, and it's Bye-Bye relationship. 🙁
@@marcmays48 Relating to one another intimately as human beings is a luxury we can't afford until - as you say - "who cares?" For a life lived fully and meaningfully, it's ironic that we also must embrace the empty and the meaningless. We have to live roles and become comfortable in masks.
3. is the most important. Look at guys like Kenny Chesney, Tom Cruise. Attractive short guys, even at 5'7", there are still tons of girls that are 5'0"-5'4" that can wear heels around you and you are taller than them.
i'm guilty of the first one, i really don't do a whole lot unless i have to, i sit and listen and space out and think about everything and nothing and is easily entertained by others who throw themselves at the lime light. i have no desire for that, if i end up in the lime light i do not shy away from it but rarely do i get put in that situation, it's usually a pleasant surprise to people when it happens. but so far i don't know any woman who is able to just kick it and enjoy life coming at them. it's true what they say, one of the worst thing you can do is bore a woman, ain't no woman about that quiet life.
1 - Lack of Control / Being to passive
2 - Emotional vomiting (unload inappropriate amount of emotions ...)

As a woman, the #1 biggest turn off for me is bitterness and hostility. And I'm pretty sure that goes the other way around...bitterness and hostility in women are also big turn-offs to men. The attitude of "All you women/men are the same, you just want (fill in the blank)" is gonna make any sane person NOPE right out.
Thank you, Ritchie!
💯 this. 👍
Yes, you're right. This "you must be confident cause I'm not" that some girls do as well is to tiresome. Its ok to be afraid sometimes and you should be allowed to talk about your feelings, as a man or woman.
Indeed. I have friends who hates their ex and talks about "women" always like that. It even turns me off...

9 things to quit for all Strong people:
1. Caring about what others think
2. Not believing in yourself
3. Not experimenting different ideas / solutions for problems (life&business)
4. Not prioritizing your health
5. Wasting your precious time
6. Wanting something (instead write a plan and work towards it)
7. Chasing meaningless relationships
8. Wasting time by scrolling social media
9. Quitting addictions for good (if you have any - consider stopping it as it makes you mentally weak + affects your confidence and all other areas of your life!) 🚀
Take it easy and I hope you found one thing helpful in this list 💯☝
That list says to me, stay away from women. Couldn’t agree more with you.
Scrolling can eat up huge time. And watching boring content, And com
1-8 works for me….i need my porn.
Being burned out on life in general. It happens and why a lot of people don't move on. They feel it's just trading for another set of problems they have zero control over.
As a man who's last relationship (few months ago) ended because I did some of the things you mentioned, I have some advice for the gentlemen. Don't listen to a young lady when she says she wants you to be open (emotionally) with her. Stay emotionally distant until you've been with her for at least a year.
Definitely gotta watch how her mind works to really trust her with these things imo
I think the key is emotional *strength* above all
Yes I agree with u. A woman I was interested in wanted me to open up to her and when I did she was ghosting me after that. Never again will I open up to a woman until I know 100% that she is the right one for me.
Yup. Women don't care and don't want to know. It's not emotional vomit to look for support. But, the women in your life aren't there for you in that way. Get a beer with your friends
@@KenLeggatt do 'men' care too? In modern society anyway.
I think the difference between vulnerability and emotional vomiting is pointless to a man. It's basically the difference between venting about a small issue and being downed by a serious problem. Men need to know when his life gets rough their woman will be there just like if a life threatening fight broke out his boys will be there. Vulnerability about small problems rarely gives you answers from your woman or makes you feel better so you might as well deal with it in your own and say nothing or ask some friends.
If women can't deal with the only part men need that they are more appropriate for than friends then it is no surprise most men choose to act completely stoic because they'll be judged. At that point a man is getting sex/companionship and the same level of emotional support outside of a relationship so there's no point to having a partner.
damn, that's facts bro. resonated with this, no cap.
Yeah if you look at it there is not much difference between emotional vomiting and vulnerability it's basically the same in practice and men can't balance this that's why we always have to be stoic no matter what women or this society says otherwise it's game over.
You nailed it on the head. I was going to comment something similar but you did it for me, lol.
The issue with this way of thinking from women is that the line between emotional vulnerability and vomiting is almost nonexistent, and ultimately defined by each individual woman.
The worst part of this is that a woman expects for a man to be able to handle all of his own emotional baggage solo, while she has a network of family and friends to unload on and get the satisfaction of release, as well as advice is she is looking for it. A man is supposed to just turn everything in on himself.
And yet we wonder why as a society we have some of the problems that we do regarding men and violence. We are told from a very young age to not cry, suck it up, only sissies to this or that, etc. Well, you reap what you sow, ladies.
And in my case, when I'm asked why my marriage only lasted one year, if I DON'T give a good explanation that it was due to my ex wife's alcoholism that got significantly worse just before our wedding and led to her being very dishonest and even becoming physically violent because of anger management issues while drunk and arguing, I look like a commitment phobe. But if I DO give this good explanation, I'm accused of emotional vomiting
There is nothing wrong for man being serious about a sensitive subject. Emotional vomiting as wording is like an insult to man trying to set things right with a subject that should be addressed for a better relationship.
For number 1, while being too passive and losing control of you life can certainly be a bad thing, we all have times in our lives when we aren't at our best or find ourselves in situations that overwhelm us and you deserve a partner who will support you through those times, not make you worried that you're turning them off. Everyone should try to improve, but you shouldn't beat yourself if you stumble and you definitely should not be with a partner who adds on to your stress in those moments of hardship.
For number 2, this kinda hits on the first point, but as a man you are just as entitled to occasional ranting or moments of doubting yourself as a woman is. If your partner does not allow for that then they are toxic, especially if they ask the same of you. Now, obviously there comes a point where you need to stop complaining and take steps to solve the problem, but talking to your partner about it can even help you figure out ways to solve the problem.
Pretty much agree with everything in points 3 and 4 though.
Yeah dude. You nailed. Concur with the other posters. There is little between emotional vomiting and being vulnerable so we are stoic. She has her head on her shoulders generally but she is really young and this one is messed. Women can always find a way to be unhappy. They want you to open up but lose faith if you do. She needs a big rethink on this one. She should do another video on your comment alone.
Dude, she's just listing things that she finds inconvenient in men. She also talks down to men like men need to be told what's what because their idiots. She's not doing it in away that validates the man, but rather corrects him and improves him because he needs it. Feminist slant.
If you need to emotionally vomit, seek professional help! Therapy exists for that reason. You're not entitled to toss all of your emotional baggage on to someone and they are not obligated to hear you even if you are in a relationship. You need to understand we all have our OWN boundaries what we can handle and process and those boundaries need to be respected too. Your emotional vomiting might give a huge load of stress to someone else. Supporting and being supported is a two way street where boundaries of all participants need to be understood.

@@eveliinahannele Emotional vomiting makes it sound way worse than it is. I'm not going to go to therapy because I had 1 frustrating day at work.

What things annoy us men and cause us to lose attraction? Here's a few things that come to mind.
1) When a girlfriend expects her boyfriend to act as her free psychiatrist.
2) Girls who think guys are just sperm donors and ATM machines.
3) When a girlfriend compares you to her friends boyfriends & husbands. If men did this it would be considered misogyny on steroids.
4) Girls who think it's all the man's responsibility to make the relationship work.
And there's lots of girl bosses out there who get furious if you do act like a man and assert yourself and take control.
Misogyny on steroids lol
5) Girls who waste their 20s with Chad Pookie Tyrone, but still expect to get good men (This is, like, the most popular red flag in the red pill community)
6) Girls who are co-dependent
Then don't be with those women.

Why can't a woman just like a man for who they are? Meaning you're attracted to them and like their personality. That's mostly all a man wants out of a woman. Stop leeching ladies. Here's an idea. You too can walk your own path! Yeah I know it's crazy but go out there...and have your own goals and hobbies.
My parents when they decided what to do for dinner...Mom.."where are we going to eat" Dad..."that's up to you. Always is." Mom "why can't you ever make a decision and just want to eat somewhere from your own mind?" Dad "ok...welp how about we go to Fridays" Mom "No, they cook everything in butter I can't eat anything there. You know I'm on a diet. Remember we went there 20 years ago and they put the dressing in the salad instead of on the side" Dad "Fine, how about Fudruckers" Mom "did you not hear anything I said?? They cook their buns in butter. There's always a 30 minute wait there. I don't like to have to ask to special order something. They don't have anything else that I like."
Dad "Well what places can you eat at?" Mom "I don't know maybe the diner that we were at for the last 25 weekends" Dad "Well I guess we're going to the diner then" Mom "was that so hard to pick a place? gessh what is wrong with you"
Yeah... you women really like a guy who makes decisions. What you ladies really want is to be the CEO of a board meeting.. Where all of your little suborniantes come up with the ideas for you. And you get to sit there and cherry pick their ideas and inspirations and make the final decision while patting yourself on the back for it. oh yeah and ...YOU drive me there. YOU make the reservations.... YOU pay the bill. All I want as a woman is to sit there for the fun and best parts. That's what I look for in a guy. To be my tool. That's why I like my men in suits. Because it means they're important and have money and can do all that shi t for me.
Do you guys ever listen to yourselves? It blows my mind. Yeah men are tired of it. This is why you hear all the time "dating is dead in 2022" "Dating apps" is the only way to find someone. Why is it so hard to date. Litterally all the cards are in your hands and all the balls in your court. Us men are easy, simple and pretty damned forgiving with very little expectations.
Damn man. You okay?
Yeah I think that women will only ever actually like you if you were a friend they knew for a long time...Mostly they only like men for what they have and not for who they are..but I believe this goes both ways I mean men also like women mostly only for their looks..people are very shallow
Dude, you're advocating weak-butt behavior. All you said is the reason you're not getting laid. It's weak! The sooner you come to terms with that & work on yourself, the sooner you'll get laid!
you know, she is right, you shouldn't be any of these four things. But, I completely agree with you. There is a lot of hypocrisy when women have so many issues, past trauma, etc etc and you are supposed to be as forgiving and compassionate as possible but god forbid you go on a rant because you had a bad day and now you're unattractive. I find it often that my friends will be unhappy and suck up a lot of stuff from their woman, but as soon as a man shows any sign of weakness, the women is packed up and out the door. Sucks man
The problem is women have options while they are young, so this is why women can't just like a man for who they are, there will always be another option that is better. This is why as a man you need to be assertive and be the best version of yourself, funny, good looking, rich, happy, horny, and then make yourself available to her, if not, then another guy will and it's not like she ISNT liking you for being you, she's just picking someone else who is themselves but better.
I caught myself being clingy and needy when I got too involved to the “partners for life” concept! Wish I’d seen this sooner!

@@remilane9206 Blue Pill Conditioning, Bruh. Every man has to wake up and take the Red Pill. I did after getting crushed in an early relationship when I acted the way I thought girls wanted. I was wrong.
Now, understand this. The Red Pill is not Black Pill/MGTOW. It's actually how to have a healthy relationship with women. It's knowledge AND application. You can be married 30 years and be RP. Indeed in modern society to get to be married 30 years REQUIRES the Red Pill!
Courtney, I think your 100 5 on this. I was all those things. Came out a loss of wife of 43 yrs. No experience in dating other than her. Met a beauty that was interested in same things as me but I was still shaking form loss and could not understand much. Thank you
I think when her very first question is “What do you do for a living?” Is a huge attraction killer. She just wants to know how much resources she can take advantage of if she sticks around you.
Tell them you work at Walmart or be extremely vague with what you do.
True,...however, there is also a status stipulation. Women today put a high value on Doctor, Lawyer, and Misogynous Rappers.
That's kinda unfair...unless you read clear gold digger vibes from her, she may just be trying to make conversation. Because most people can connect on that. Knowing someone's job can also give clues into their personality.

If you are here looking for relationship/dating advice, here is a tip.
Don't agree to go out with someone unless you are open to being a partner to them. No one is perfect. You have issues, they have issues, the magic happens when you both work on each other together while tackling life's difficulties as a team.
yes but, you are not your partners therapist. Never "White-Knight" for a girl.

Who talks this way? Blue Pill, White Knight Capt. Save-a-Hoe, that's who.
You go out with someone to DECIDE whether you want to be with them and as a guy you NEED to have STANDARDS, BOUNDARIES and be able to spot RED FLAGS. Yes, no one is perfect but that's not what many guys need to hear. They need to be more selective, not less.
The world isn't a red or blue place and not everyone is bitter or playing those kind of social games with titles. The thing about pills is, you don't have to take them ;)
Relationships are complex enough without throwing in the lastest engineered terms to create artificial heuristics. People are individuals, not products from a production line that can be generalized.
@@danielhartley9003 Dating is nothing like relationships. But it is the price of the ticket.
Dating is a social game, it is compulsory to find heterosexual companionship, and it is also fucked up bullshit. How do most people get thru it? _By being products that can be generalized._
You need to put your dreams and your needs aside, participate fully in this bullshit game, and take it _seriously_ - enough that you become experienced and good at it. For a heterosexual, especially a man, there is NO alternative.
The best way to get up is to get up yourself... for yourself, for those around you, for this miserable, hopeless world.
tank you for this
It's so hard to draw the line in the moment between "emotional vomit" and "emotional vulnerability" that it is safer to say nothing negative.
Basically, it's not what you said it's how you said it. Remember, they're delicate little flowers. I can't with these girls.
Yeh just don't be vulnerable. How hot or rich you are depends if it's emotional vomit or vulnerability😂
Women fear weak men, for good evolutionary reasons, so turn away from a man who shows vulnerability. Not hating on women on this jssue, but most women just don';t want to know about men's problem. They want a man who is a rock and offers them stability. Just a fact. You are better talking through your issues with a male friend or better still a trained professional.
@@storyok3261 and even hot or rich get accused of emotional vomiting. And it sucks, because if you're asked certain questions, sometimes you want to give a detailed answer that explains your position, vs a "yes" or "no" or "My marriage lasted one year" reply, because you risk being wrongly judged, if you don't. So it's a no win situation with some women.
@@Lonstermash I was partly joking. My point is really just that it depends how much the girl likes you. Women make their own fantasy in their head. For example, if a girl loves a man and he beats her. She will convince herself it is because he loves her. Its really at the end of the day just excuses. Women will creates excuses for why they like or don't like you. They think they are seeing reasons, but really it's just excuses for how they felt anyway.
My ex was constantly emotionally vomiting over text and I can absolutely agree with Courtney here. It was probably the number one reason why I lost attraction for her and it really took its toll on our relationship. At first I didn't see it as a bad thing because I thought she was just being vulnerable, but now looking back it was a huge red flag that I wish I didn't overlook. Trust your gut, boys.

I've come to view "being vulnerable" like the "what are your weaknesses" question on job interviews; people don't want to just listen to you describe negative things, they want to see that you're taking ownership of them and taking steps to improve things. I'm not surprised a lot of people stumble on the "being vulnerable" thing given how many people stumble on the "what are your weaknesses" question in job interviews
And most of the "improvement" responses are bullspit anyway...
@@Robert_Westwood Bullshit helps in interviews, and bullshit is CRUCIAL in dating. It's how we get to the next level, where maybe, for awhile, we both can be genuine.
Job interviews don't mean nothing emotionally or doesn't require any kinda vulnerability, u could fake a weakness n tell them or sugar coat ur weaknesses to present them something as something else.
But being vulnerable is different it's being raw with ur emotions n tell what are u experiencing really n what's on ur mind without a filter or fear.
If a woman think u complaining about a shitty job is over-bearing n emotional vomitting then thats the women's problem.
And then women wonder why men are not vulnerable with them.

Women want a guy that is confident, runs his life with decisions and schedules - but are consistently are late and waste a guys time.
Women want a guy that shares his emotions ... but not too much - and remember guys, anything you say can & will be used against you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but 100% on the way out the door.
Never be clingy - give her a consistence, persistence, attentive, supportive, connected, concerned, safe, secure atmosphere ..... and she will leave you for the Bad Boy that gives her none of those. Watch for it - it is nearly inevitable.
Have a purpose in life - and never make it a girl.
Treat them like transactional, utilitarian, temporary and disposable - treat them like furniture, cause they will dump your dumb a$$ the moment something better, different, dangerous, taller, richer or more clout comes along.
Remember, everything you are saying is 100% true if you want to date women on par with you. If you want to date down, you can break every single rule Courtney just talked about.

There's nothing wrong with telling your gal about your day so that she understands what you go through but, yes, the negativity, the complaining and the fact that you aren't doing anything to change your circumstances, or at least influence them, yes, that is your own darn fault and if she doesn't like it that is her prerogative
Agreed. Unproductive whining and complaining is a turn off in both sexes. And it leads to the other person getting frustrated and trying to solve the problem for the complainer, which is ALSO a relationship mistake. Basically opens a nasty Pandora's Box of toxicity (I speak from experience, unfortunately)

@@RavisherDevil then here’s the solution, ignore and don’t waste your time.
You all value women's opinions too much, because when it comes to gender you base arguments on 'who' rather than 'what.'

@@michaelrespicio5683 exactly!!
You forget that relating to one another as human beings is a luxury few intimate heterosexual relationships can afford, and a burden many cannot withstand. Most that find a human level are no longer centered on sex or gender, due to aging or the growth of family.
A couple can only begin and grow close as a microcosm of the social world, with all its roles and poses - gender above all. We must first be men and women to one another, or we will be profoundly alone as humans. We earn our refuge from society only by acting our role in society.
Humans are souls, but men and woman are beings of the heart. The heart is not the soul. The heart "wants what it wants." It doesn't care for the needs of the soul. It can't understand needs, only desires. It binds the soul, but cannot protect it.
We must treat the heart and soul differently, and learn when to relate in the roles of men and women and when to relate as humans. Otherwise, the heart _and_ the soul are liable to suffer lasting damage.
Complacency better be on this list! ANYTHING&EVERYTHING in life can be ruined/lost/damaged due to complacency. Trust me folks. Men need to always keep pushing forward and learning more. Let women get into a routine because they naturally do not want complacency and will always seek to make things vibrant but men work so much they too wanna rest and have peace; well, that's her job to provide that peace so KEEP DOING THE WORK, men!
I agree with you but this should be for everyone not men only. Kids, students, workers, women etc… need to always strive for better and not be complacent.
toxic masculinity? men can act how they want and they don't have to listen to your misandrist, sexist, toxic masculinity
I feel like these 4 things in the video are the pre-dating or maybe early dating red flags. I don't think being clingy is like a thing after a year+ of dating - you've both likely banged dozens of times, you're both in full comfort of one another. And this is where I believe the complacency issue starts... (separate from the list in this video).
@@moufou4life obviously it's not good for anyone but the message is more for men and something for them to think about
I didn't know the right word or term of explaining what my last relationship was like until this video. It started off as a vulnerability of the things we would share but after experiencing the emotional vomiting from her end, it created new boundaries for me. It made things too depressing and I couldn't hang onto that.
Firstly, well done Courtney 👏 I find your thoughts and perspective refreshing. I usually don't have the desire to leave comments but with this video I definitely did. The points raised were spot on. On the topic of lack of control (especially a lack of control emotionally), I have personally found it is best to remain non-reactive in provoking/unsettling circumstances. The ability to remain calm and collected when most would not allows you to analyze a situation at face value without "clouded judgement" and essentially allows you to effectively mitigate the issue at hand (whatever it may be). Sometimes a reaction is just a distraction. Being self aware exudes a level of confidence that others either consciously or subconsciously pick up on. People are naturally more inclined to want to be around others who are emotionally in control of themselves as opposed to those who are emotionally unstable. This due to the fact that the latter is viewed as unpredictable and sometimes destructive, whereas the former is viewed as predictable and reliable.
Whether it is a male or female showing emotions is not a crime balance is a key we should not over do anything which is unbearable
Been watching your videos these past few weeks. I really appreciate the effort you put towards them. I’m understanding relationships & women better over time by putting what you teach into practice. Definitely educational and a professional environment you create, thank you for your efforts!
#4 clicked in my head with a metaphor:
If you are aimed at someone you will crash into them, if you are aimed at the same place you will end up there together.
Not having a backbone, standing up for yourself, and let people walk all over you.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the difference between vulnerability and emotional vomiting. Some times emotional vomiting can come off as manipulative trick or a pity party. I have issues with this too. Personally I take my time to understand if my partner is ready for me to unload some baggage.
Yes, but sometimes it's simply being candid when someone asks you a question that deserves a longer answer than "yes" or "no" or "one year." With me, when I'm asked why my marriage only lasted one year, if I don't explain that it was due to my ex wife's alcoholism that got substantially worse just before our wedding and all of the other wonderful things that went along with her alcoholism (major dishonesty and even some physical violence during arguments), I probably risk looking like a commitment phobe.
@@Lonstermash great point. During the time I'm getting to know someone, my primary focus is if they are mature enough to handle emotional baggage. I have had relationships that ended because a girl wanted to be more intimacy but was unprepared for what happens after. In those cases, I just say that she wasn't ready for what I was looking for and try not to allow it to get the best of me. It gets easier, the more I practice it. Emotional vomiting and vulnerability seems to differ from woman to woman and its up to you whether the woman in front of you is mature enough to understand that your emotional turmoil is part of being in an intimate relationship or not.
@@janpauledwarddedios5366 thanks. Now, try receiving such investigative questions from a woman trying to vet you on a first date or even a first phone conversation! Then what do you do to avoid being unfairly judged for your past, yet not be seen as emotionally vomiting even while maintaining a calm tone of voice
@@Lonstermash that's a lot to unpack.. long story short... I'll just move on.. you get judged either way.. I dated someone for 2 years and as much as I liked to say I kept my cool when it ended I did not. It did affect me with subsequent relationships but I'm not going to feel i lost something that wasn't that worth investing in the first place. I rather be judged by my truth than by lies. If the person across from you doesn't like that then time to find another girl.
Erm you do know that just being vulnerable for a few seconds is enough for women to regard it as "emotional vomitting"? Basically you show any vulnerability to women and they will disqualify you, yet when asked if men should be vulnerable they give the politically correct answer. Just know that if you are with a woman, you should be prepared to provide for her and be her emotional punching bag yet she's not gonna share any burden with you.
Great video as always! Still can't shake how unfortunately common this is.. I tried talking to and asking out this woman who I was interested in from college and she was quick to say she's really good friends with her ex and that I had to be okay with that if we went on another date. Why keep someone from the past but still actively want someone new / for your future? Not the first woman this happens with...
Run
that's a huge red flag, do not proceed. first, she doesn't respect you, she's basically flaunting it in your face that she still does stuff with her ex, "good friend" more like FWB lol - and that you would need to accept that about her (cuck). second, she's stuck in her past, if she doesn't focus on you and only you then you're wasting your time my brother. all this terminology makes me feel like im some red pilled guru (i really couldn't care less about red pill) but im just trying to give you my sincere advice. best of luck!
Huge red flag. Move on, don’t look back
4 is a good point. After college I really didn’t have any social outlets, just work, the gym, then home. I joined a chess club and got involved with the community theater, which has helped me make new friends and get me out of my shell
I was always passive in our marriage. I pretty much always did what she wanted and gave her what she wanted. Classic "Nice Guy Syndrome" stuff. When I learned this wasn't ideal and started doing as you said by having an opinion, making decisions and sticking to them or not agreeing to something she wanted to do that I really didn't want and taking charge and being a leader. Those are some of the things she used against me when she wanted a divorce.
Because she married you because you were the simp nice guy and changed. Women are never happy so stop trying.
Brutal
Regarding #2, I think an incredibly important thing to note for guys gals and all others, is that it's okay to complain about your day when you have a bad day. It's okay to come home and say "Well we had this really bad customer and I got in a disagreement with a coworker which turned into a big fight and it was just so stressful." Once In A While; And in a clear concise way.. You shouldn't be whining about it all day long, or bringing it up 6 different times that day. Just say "I had a bad day", explain why, and then cuddle up(or do whatever you and they do for affection) to show them they make you feel better!
It's when you do this to your significant other Every. Single. Day. That it becomes emotional vomitting. It's stressful to the person you're doing it to; You're constantly dumping negativity on them, and no one wants or should have to suffer that; It's also when you do it every single day that it becomes less "you being vulnerable" and more "You've completely lost control of your work life."
Reals, not feels. What's tearing you apart inside doesn't matter a damn to someone who expects you to fill a role. And "significant other" is a role. So is "man." And you don't get to unilaterally rewrite the script. That's a privilege earned by playing the role well and getting to stay around.
I've learned a good 2-2-2 rule so you balance your life with your relationship:
- Bring them on a date once every 2 weeks
- Invite them to do something thrilling or spontaneous once every 2 months
- Bring them on a vacation/roadtrip once every two years
If you are both working as hard as you are supposed to, and can afford it, 1 vacation a year is better . The rest of it is good. If a little sparse on dates. But once every 2 weeks is definitely an achievable goal
@@odium3691 I'll admit my time frames were sparse, mainly because I've mostly been in long distance relationships. Not to mention I haven't been on a vacation in 10+ years so I'm a bit uneducated on a healthy balance of when to go. Definitely accelerate some of these if you can afford it, but this is the rule I stick to by default.
Dates = at least 2 times a week.
Spontaneous = at least 2 times a month.
Vacation = at least 2-3 times a year.
Usually very skeptical about a women giving advice about women, but everything I've seen from you so far seems spot on.
It’s important to self reflect and avoid doing some of these things, but at the same time don’t be to hard on urself. Ur partner does not have to be turned on all the time. It’s not ur job to make sure they are always turned on this is not a porno, we’re all human and humans can be repulsive sometimes
One of the reasons I find Buddhism such a wonderful spiritual system is that it teaches your "salvation", if you will, rests ENTIRELY within you!! You will never obtain it from any "external" source--only YOU can validate and accept you!! I think whenever you enter a relationship looking for any kind of validation you are headed for trouble. All relationships should be a "synergy"--each person's energy, heart and soul flowing freely into the other person. It's the purest and most beautiful sharing that there is in life and that's what is meant by the phrase "two that become one."
Sometimes emotional vomiting happens because the person wasn't getting an opportunity to be vulnerable before. They were getting denied and then the one time she does listen, everything comes out. It sucks for sure but it happens.
This means you have no healthy outlet. Appearing out of control, lacking in coping methods, lacking in close friends to talk to, etc. These are all unattractive things. When my wife asks how my day was, “Not bad” and then deflect on her so she can do the talking. By the time I got home, I already addressed my day with someone else or went to the gym, or drove around listening to thrash metal.
@@no_regerts5176 True. It isn't always the case but I can see how it can seem that way.
@@no_regerts5176 I would feel that the consequence of that is that you can never truly express what's on your mind, or share your concerns
@@vijayiyer8518 I can see that. That’s where you have friends (I suggest other men) that you confide in. For me, there are distinct differences between my spouse and my friends and one of those differences is I am a friend to my friends and a husband to my wife. I have a job my wife would never understand, so what’s the point of talking with her about it?
Dude there is a very thin line between emotional vomiting and being vulnerable men can't balance that we have to stay stoic and keep own sufferings, feelings, sorrows to ourselves if we ever have to impress a woman that's the only way.
Good video Courtney. Most points are quite obvious but the ’women need to feel secure’ is more of a imagined opinion from women rather than what they actually seek in real life. I’m stunned when I see the risks some women take just to date a looser then complaining ’all men…’.
The emotional vomiting issue works both ways. Especially when one continually complains about one or more problems and refuses to do anything to remediate them.
Had this happen with a woman I dated recently.
No matter what I suggested she do to fix the problem/s, she always seemed to prefer to remain a victim and continue to complain scream and cry to me about them.
Fortunately, she had her own place and I was able to convince her that it would be best if she went back to stay at her place.
(Initially not permanently, and that I wanted to continue to date her, but that I thought this way would be best until she was able to work out her familial issues)
She then complained claiming that she felt like she was being punished (like a 5 year old might act) and then eventually blamed me saying that it was because we were incompatible and then broke up with me. Which is what Iwas actually shooting for in the first place (lol).. It’s called the Sam Kinison method, only without all of the coke and liquor…
It’s bullshit women don’t want us to use them as an emotional tampon but women are notorious for doing it to men.
After a long relationship break up a friend of my dads said to me. It is better to have loved and lost than to have loved and won!
3:33 I would say that to anyone at the appropriate time, not as an opener. I don't see how that is emotional vulnerability, it's just a potential career plan. A better example about emotional vulnerability is telling your partner about how you feel about her flirting with your friend, but that could turn into emotional vomiting, depending on how it is done.
Saying I’m thinking about a career change in definitely not being vulnerable. I don’t know why she used that as an example.
@@dildoswaggins3724 Becouse she confuses vulnerability with basic emotional intimacy.
Thank you so much for these videos. Most of these things (other than a life passion) are very big issues with people that have autism spectrum disorder though not for the reasons that you mention are what typically causes them. As I have Asperger's Syndrome I find myself doing all of these things out of compulsion and difficulty with social interactions despite knowing not to do them. Thankfully there are people out there like you doing these videos as watching them does help reinforce the concept and helps, at least for me, to catch myself when I do them (sometimes in time and sometimes after the damage is done.) Out of all the content creators on the subject of social interaction that I watch or read you are one of the best and put it in a way that isn't demeaning to people that may have these issues whether on autism spectrum and a compulsion or just those that are socially unaware. Thank you so much you make self-improvment not only easier but less embarrassing!!!!
Step1; Be attractive
Step2; Step 1
Watch the Rom Wills RUclips channel to learn how to become attractive to women
100%. Chris Hemsworth could cry like a lil school girl complaining about his day on a hot woman's shoulder and she would consider that being cute and vulnerable.
@@brent4073 It is the truth. And nobody will admit it. If you are average, you almost go completely unnoticed in this age of online world. Chris Hemsworth could literally do anything he wants and get let off just because of his face. Kind of insane. Also quite common to see these sketches where people approach random people on the street on TikTok and do weird stuff to 'mess with them'. I can guarantee if it wasn't HOT or CUTE guys doing the pranks it would be classed as harassment. And the women would be calling cops. Society is weird.
Courtney this is off-topic, but I was downtown Cleveland Friday, and man it has changed a lot in the past 5 years WOW. The East Bank looks completely different. So many new bars and clubs! It was packed.
I have seen guys who will totally drop everything when they get involved in a relationship and become obsessed with the girl. They shun their friends, family and hobbies just to wait on her hand and foot. It is as if an alien came and body snatched them and replaced them with somebody unrecognizable. In every case, it never works out.
I just don't get the obsession. I'm too darn busy to make some girl the total center of my life.
Were those guys dating narcissists?
Yep I’ve seen that. They get into a relationship and they just drop off the face of the earth. That’s bad. I play basketball on Wednesday. And will continue to do so and any woman will have to accept that. If not there’s the door
Video ideas:
- contervsial styles
- differences between a bad boy and a tough guy (unless it's more of a movie and tv show fiction)
- fictional character styles ( too get an in sight of we're we get our styles and inspirations from)
My ex wife actually wanted most of these things. Which is what lead to breaking up. She wanted passivity and got mad that I wasn’t jealous etc. Was not healthy or fun.
After reviewing these videos about what woman want, what they hate, what a man needs to be and why, what he should look like....it's quite frankly , terrifying! I don't see kindness in that list....I dont see caring, intellect and smarts, empathy and and gentle, loving ability to foster the growth of a child. I see everything that confirms the worst shallowness of today's dating scene and I want no fucking part of it! I will wait for a kind, loving caring woman who wants those same qualities from me and if I die before she comes along, so be it. Who knows.....maybe that woman no longer exists.
2:26 Don't you just love it when a woman invalidates the things you say. HAHAHAHA LMFAO Sometimes "emotional vomiting" needs to happen before someone can actually be vulnerable. Why do women do this? We made up a term, determined our definition of it and judge you for not complying with our wishes.
Great video Courtney. The specific details and comparing/contrasting you do in this video are so in-depth, and are never explained this precisely anywhere. Please keep doing highly detailed videos like this, I think they'll benefit people immensely.
And damn'it now I am subscribed. I don't agree with everything that you say in your videos but they're very informative and gives a lot of insight. Thanks.
I get it I do. But when it comes to personal insecurities and low self esteem, the ball is in their court.
I like most of Courtney's stuff, but the ultimate problem with this/these videos is that they ignore the fact that women can simply pick up and start a dalliance/relationship as and when they please with no emotional/time investment. Abundance is the de facto situation for them.
This isn't some kind of incel rant, it just rings hollow somewhat when women tell men not to be emotionally vomit/needy, as they (women) are given free range to be all of these things and suffer no consequences.
Life certainly isn't fair. Women want to be able to live through whatever emotions they are experiencing at the time. To do that safely, they need you to be their rock.
If you are acting in a more feminine, emotional manner, then 1) you will appear to be gay, which most women aren't attracted to, 2) you will attract more masculine women, which is probably not what you want, or 3) you will make women feel insecure, and they will toss you out, so that they can find a guy who *CAN* be their rock.
Absolutely. Finally someone said it.
Who tf cares tho. High value men arent picking those types of girls up for relationships.
A woman needs to work on herself just as much as a man to get the relationship she wants and has less power over her looks which matter the most.
Its way better being a man. You're only thinking of it through a lense of getting easy sex which isnt fulfilling for anyone.
If you're not putting in the effort you dont deserve a girl. So go out there and become a man and stop complaining. Be someone you admire and others will too.
@@chickenbroski99 it’s not complaining. It’s an observation he made….
@@matthalo89 There's a flip side to the observation. First, most women won't actively go out and approach men, so their choices are limited to the men who approach them. Many won't even bother developing their dating skills, as they don't have to when abundance works in their favor. Later on, this makes things more difficult for them.
Second, while abundance might seem enjoyable at first, it becomes an annoyance for many women. They have incredibly superficial standards, simply because they have to weed out some of the men. Even after they've chosen a guy, they still have guys approaching them, so who wouldn't be tempted to find a bigger, better deal?
Third, women go from abundance to scarcity relatively quickly, from their 20's to when most hit the wall in their 40's. There's also no magic wand they can wave to find a good man-- the guy who looks great today, can be abusive, lose his job, turn out to be gay, etc. at the worst possible time for a woman, as she hits middle age.
The really smart women recognize the illusion of beauty for what it is, and lock down a high-quality guy when they are both still relatively young. The women who fail to do so, find dating gets progressively harder.
Courtney is such a breath of fresh air like wow she really came at a good time in my life where I am getting older and need to know this but ugh I wish I knew all this before 😔
I use to think women wanted a macho man but later I realized they didn't want a partner who seeks validation from them. Confidence is impossible to measure so I don't seek it.
There is a line in a Ashanti's song that says..."all the things that we accept...will be the things we will regret" in relationships....
This channel is consistant with good moral values practiced.
Thank you 🥺
@@CourtneyRyan Troy is 100% correct. Unfortunately, the morals of this channel are very hard to come by nowadays, especially in big cities
If you're really being yourself, then you're not "trying"
to get dates. You're in the moment. Having fun. Not
worried about whether you're attractive or not.
But people don't have faith that theyre good enough
just as they are. So they learn how to be "attractive"
which is just a bunch of crap anyway that has nothing
to do with being real and authentic.
So be yourself. Just be prepared to never get dates,
because people who date are usually learning how to
love themselves by getting the approval of others. So
Why not skip that step and just stick to yourself, forget
dating, and know that just being yourself is already
perfect.
I still try to do me because I believe it’s the right thing to do and I try to do what’s the best because I want the best situation for me but everything seem pretty complicated with relationship wise and im 20. This is embarrassing for me🤦🏻
@@julianfelix7652 but what, then, are you supposed to do if you see or even meet someone you find attractive and would like to get to know better? You kind of have to "date" them in order to do this, and, at least in my case, it has nothing to do with lack of self love/self esteem.
I agree with all of these points. I hate to admit that this year I've been too focused on myself, just not too sure if I'm doing the right thing but I feel like I am doing the right thing in my heart. I've taken up dance lessons and finally going to the gym (lost 25 lbs or more within 7 months). But guys please stop these bad habbits, just work on yourself trust me I used to be scared and insecure but working out and most importantly working on myself made me a better man. Though I am still single I'm happy of everything I've done this year in terms of focusing on myself.
keep at it man. There's nothing wrong with putting yourself first. Being your own MENTAL POINT OF ORIGIN is the first step to a great life, including success with women.
Women want/need to feel secure. Now I've heard it a million and one times.
That why its important to have money and be tall
And yet they fall mostly for men who never truly commit to them -- inscrutable and emotionally distant players with many options, whom they can neither trust nor rely on, and who might dump them any day. Whereas more often than not the guys who could actually make them feel secure get friendzoned. One of countless female contradictions.
@@iancavon7125 That's right. A degree of emotional unavailability can draw women in, strangely. Women want to feel secure but also enjoy the emotional rollercoaster that some guys can keep the on. It doesn't make sense but then neither do women.
I'm thankful that you carefully defined emotional vulnerability with examples, but you may really want to come up with a different term. I don't know of any man who views the sharing of hopes and dreams (woodworking per example) as vulnerability. Sharing your hopes and dreams means you have goals, purpose, and ambition. These are all positives and strengths, not weaknesses or vulnerabilities. Being vulnerable for most men would be more akin to sharing fears, failures, and insecurities. Those are for sure vulnerabilities and I seriously doubt a lot of women would care too much for that. Maybe it would be a good idea to get Men to define what they think is vulnerability so we can make sure our communication is on the same page.
Basic emotional intimacy is what it is called. Completly agree about vulnerability.
@@maciejkleszczynski9808 Basic emotional intimacy is actually a really great term for it!
Another great video! The takeaway from this is emotional intelligence. I'm not a fan of where I'm at currently with managing emotions, but I'm still working on it
I'm literally in the same boat. It sucks
It is a definitely a learnable skill.
Emotional intelligence is part heart and part skill. But it's not very useful without _social_ intelligence, which is almost all skill - and often has to lead and force EI to follow.
You could say SI is the real "manager." It's concerned with more than being decent or caring (which is the heart of EI). SI augments EI because it tempers your decency and caring into a form that others can see and value. It makes sure you're hitting the "metrics" (often abstractions) that get results and bring people into your life.
@@RatPfink66 Yes, you are right. SI is also a learnable skill.
@@antonboludo8886 Absolutely. But it doesn't follow from learning EI. It has to be earned out in the world, from failure, mistakes, loss, hurt, and always - _always_ - coming back for more.
Courtney: You really need to think about addressing the fact we are descending into a deep recession and thing will change dynamics. Love your channel. I agree with you the vast majority of the time. Men will have to step up as our economy crashes to the ground. I do agree that women hate weakness as I have done this couple times over couple relationships. Women hate men being vulnerable unless a death is involved. Anything else is a no go. Only death event is allowed guys. Nothing else. 25 years of relations and couple marriages. Women absolutely hate weakness if you have always come across strong.
4:40
I’m conflicted on this one. Firstly, I can’t think of a single woman I’ve dated who hasn’t complained about their workday to me. It’s literally the first thing that comes up whenever we talk or see each other again.
I’m typically not the type to complain in general, and most of the time I just sit there and listen, but even that in itself can take a toll on ME especially if I’ve had a horrible day myself.
She's allowed to complain, you're not. It's double standards
@@lexicon4u Yes it is, but guess what, men and women are different. Stop looking for equality in relationships. Just let the girl talk, interjecting phrases like "that sounds very upsetting" or "really? That must be hard". Don't try to fix her problems because when you do you'll only make her resent you or be co-dependent on you and the cycle will continue.
It's a female trait, so if you do it you're seen as not being a "real man" but too much in your feminine.
I would lose attraction to a man if he doesn't know what he wants in our relationship, comes and goes as he pleases. When I'm in a relationship, I would to commit to the relationship but that takes work.
Hate to break it to you, but not every man can spend time with you 24/7. For example, I live a very busy life and I can’t be around a person 24/7. However, I will make time for that person when I have time to spare.
@@B1GK1NG Good point but I never said I wanted to be with him 24/7. I was pointing out that he should know what he wants in a relationship and he and I have the same wants. What kind of woman does he want. Example: A good wife, good mother. Does he want children. Does he want a woman who's successful with her job and financially successful. You can do want you want in your relationship as long as you and her want similar things in a relationship and make it work.
@@Courtney-Alice-Gargani that true. Not sure if you saw my post above but indecisiveness is one the the turnoffs I mention. A man should know what he wants and covey his needs with confidence. If I like a woman and am very attracted to her physically and mentally, I’ll let her know right on the spot. Trying to be the “nice guy” is disingenuous. Many women can spot the bullshit from a mile away and will toss that person into the friendzone.
The explaination for the "wanted or right way of showing" vulnerability for a men... is so awfull and cruel!!! it really hits hard. I think your completly right in the fakt that what you describe as "emotional vomiting" is a huge turn off for woman. I had to experiance and learn that the hard way. Your video is really great in giving men a very cold, harsh but honest answer to how most women feel about those topics. So great job there :) At the end of the Day.. Women desire men that have themself, there emotions and life completly or at least mostly under control. After all he is supposed to take care of here.
But!!!
The Idea that a man should/can share his issues, insecruritys, problems and struggels of his live.. ONLY! ..under the circumstance that he has allready completely dealt with them + an answer or plan at hand.. or otherwise risk loosing his girls/wifes attraction.. is truely sad. I understand why "emotional vomiting" is extremly unsexy. Seeing someone in a weak or even desperate state, simply doesn't inspire confedance. It leaves the women in a position where she would be expected to take care of him. To help and support him even thoe she's wants it the other way around.
First, if one can't share his emotional struggles with his significant other at a point where he has no idea what to do about it, where is the point in saying it at all? So it only leaves the option of looking for someone else to help or simply talk to. We men aren't perfect beings 😂Building a strong an confident charackter that can deal with alomst all things alone takes a long time and even more effort.. and at the end no one is perfect. If I can't share weak, vulnerable moments with a "partner" than she simply isn't one! Yes, only whining and complqanying is shit. But everyone deserves to say his truth at least once! And a good partnership is about give and take.
At this point i probably do this video unjustice. After all it's about how women fell about those things. Not how it should be or how extremly sexist it is. And hey.. the other 4 points are luckily really reasonable.
So as the take-away i would say... just don't do it at the beginning of the relationship... And don't be an overly crybaby and start doing something about it afterwards! Learn to comunicate the solutions wehn you found them. So it's not always only the negativ things she hears from you. But if she can't be there for you, wehn you have a really bad time.. wehn you just want to vomit emotionaly.. to lett it all out.. at least from time to time.. than it's an unhealty partnership or none at all. If you can't be your weakest in front of her.. That's a huge turn off for me as a man. Something i wouldn't want anymore in a future partner/girlfrind/wife.
Number 1: Me. I’m 58 now. It’s too late. I’m not even attracted to women my age, which doesn’t help.

And Men need women to be feminine again
Men are made, women are born
@@gerardoa9179 Yes but whats your point? A man handles his business and goals and puts women last. Real sht 💯
LOL men have been working jobs, providing, protecting a family for a millenia. They still do that in 2022. It is women who entered the workforce who royally f'd this all up. Two people having careers and no one to look after the kids DOES NOT WORK!
Hello! Ms Courtney. I came across your videos and had liked and subscribed it too.
Now, I am definitely not the right person who can exactly tell what turn down a woman ,but certainty she will love to be with a purpose-full ,high in social order guy.
I seriously felt blessed to find such content on you tube (created by you) and
YOU are a👸 GREAT,ELEGANT,POLISHED and APPEALING LADY I have ever seen -TEACHING MEN'S about "What it is To Be An ACTUAL MAN " 💪💪
Keep going, eye opening😱 and inspiring video😊💞💞
This is why my elders have always told me to “hear your woman but don’t listen to her”. As much as she says she wants you to open up and be express your feelings she really really doesn’t.
Expressing your feelings isn't the same thing as oversharing. You need to be vulnerable and express emotions in order to get close to people.
Fantastic advice, Courtney! I think I am hearing that though have solutions that my tendency is want complain but forget to share with folks my changes to improve stuff.
Please make a video of your thoughts on the philosophy of MGTOW
There is always a danger with relationships when a person overthinks. Emotional overthinking will ruin a persons life. A mutual commitment is better than consistently analyzing your partner. Be strong and courageous for your partner at all times while strengthening your own weaknesses. Life is complex and there is no need to create problems to fix problems. Take time to know a person instead of building a fantasy around them.
I'd like a future video on how to tackle social anxiety (not just being introverted which I believe is completely different), what's the best treatment? Going to the gym actually helps me a bit mentally but my SA still creeps in no matter what, even when I know a woman is interested & in many other parts of my life. I've had SA since forever & only ever had 2 gfs (both just lasted months) in my lifetime because I'm still afraid to approach (they approached/asked me out), life sucks here & I'm sure any guys here like me with SA can agree...
Look up social animal RUclips channel. Great channel for this stuff. He meets his subscribers and coaches on how to approach people in general (usually girls). Watching guys go out a tackle their fear of rejection is very motivating. So I’d give it a look.
move into fear willingly. I try and do one uncomfortable situation every day. Doesn't have to be anything big.
I feel you brother, I struggle with it a lot too. I know it seems too simple to be true but it's one of those things that you just have to walk into and just do it. That's how we grow as people, we charge head on into our greatest fears and tackle whatever makes us most afraid, uncomfortable, anxious ect. Sure, you may fall a few times maybe even a lot but if you keep doing it then you eventually will only get better and at some point you'll be good at it and you'll look back at your progress with such pride because you grew so much as a person. I realized this when I accepted a promotion at my job about a year ago. I was very green in the field and terrified of doing the job, but I knew I had to do it for my own growth. Now I'm good at it and I'm making more money. I don't know where I'd be if I stayed in that other dead end job out of fear and complacency. Imagine how much your SA is holding you back and maybe that will motivate you to tackle the fear.
I removed most of my social anxiety by forcing myself to talk to women in challenging places..
ie on the street, grocery store, uni etc.
Its just exposure. Id give myself some leeway if possible and accept that its something that will get better over time with experience.
Cardio, cutting out sugar and dairy helps too. Intermittent fasting, meditation and positive thinking. Nothing will beat exposure tho.
Hey Frank, I doubt what you say to a woman really matters too much, she will like you or she will not, you can't miss.
the more stuff you tell me i need to do the more i realize women want too much
Listening intently.
I mean they do say for best results, listen to both sides and come to your own conclusion, so at least we have one of thee best if not theeee best female perspective on these matters (here on RUclips that is)
Other Bad qualities in a man: 1) Lying; 2) Not listening; 3) Control Freaks; 4) Gets easily Jealous for no good reason.
Even with the economic times making it challenging for people to live a somewhat sustainable life, there's really no excuse for a man to have control over his life to some degree. The last thing you would want is for your life to be so chaotic that you can't even keep up with anything or solve any of your problems.
You don't need to worry if some people will "overreact" to your points; if they do, it's likely because it's a sore spot for them...they may be working on it and not like the reminder or they don't like it because it makes them uncomfortable. However, it's their psyche trying to tell them they need to fix it--which is what Dr. Jordan Peterson would conclude (and any other psychologist for that matter) is happening!
I found all the points straightforward and helpful. I'm glad (once more) I don't make these mistakes...BUT I have seen many confuse vulnerability with the emotional "vomiting," as I always thought the vulnerability was the brief statement like you gave. Thanks for a great example.
Things that would certainly drive a woman away (but not novel):
1) You treat your mother and your friends like garbage
2) It's obvious you manipulate
3) It's obvious you're not honest
Since I've never had trouble with women telling me "I feel safe with you," I'll mention a 4th one I've heard mentioned more and more:
4) They don't feel an instant "spark" or "chemistry." Recent data on females on dating sites rejecting 85% of men as "not attractive enough," as cited by Dr. Jordan Peterson. I would not have believed that possible until he followed that up with data on female hypergamy where 75% of females choose mates that are across (similar salary/kind of job) or up (higher salary/job prestige) from them on the salary/job scale--because they want that economic stability. Curiously enough, 75% of females initiate divorce proceedings nowadays...so guys trying to do the right things REALLY have work cut out for them!
Women want men to be perfect. Men are not allowed to have insecurities. they are not allowed to have self doubt. no wonder men suffer from depression.
100%. Most modern day women are afraid of being a mother, wife and relying on a guy so they can forever put it off until 30 and they hit the wall. But hey, they got that degree and law firm job! The cats will get fed.
Nr. 2 is very true. Also I love the term emotional vomiting.
When a guy pretends not to be interested, I lose interest quick and there's usually no going back.
What's so interesting about yourself? Do you know what conceit is?
This is what hypergamy and sexual liberation of women created. A game of who cares less and women end up going only after the most attractive 20% of guys. It was a lot f'ing easier when women literally just said 'if you like it so much, put a f'ing ring on it or go away'
I agree once more. Emotional stable and leadership is also very important. Example Going out with a female friend. You just take the lead ( not in a cocky, aggressive way), choose the table, make a suggestion for her on the menu. Women are constantly thinking about what to wear, make-up... So many things going throw her head, then it's for her so refreshing that a Guy is stepping up, by taking the lead and she does not have to worry about these other things. Threat her as a person and pls be authentic. If you do not agree, you just say it. Do not try to impress her. If she asks about your ex, I just answer that's in the past and this is the present.
With all these "rules", or List of "Do's and Don't's" (from so many RUclipsrs) it's like women want/expect men, or a man to be absolutely "Perfect". That if a man has even one minor flaw, or doesn't check off every single box, he won't even get the time of day from a woman; regardless of how many "flaws" she may have.
Whatever happened to taking the good with the bad and being realistic? Nobody's PERFECT; yet it seems women EXPECT a man to be in order to be "good enough" to have the honour/privilege of having her even talk to you.
Yes there should be some standards, or basic requirements met; but there shouldn't be SO MANY RULES REQUIRED before you may even be considered.
Couldn't have said it better. You just mentioned the reasons why I take these videos with a grain of salt. Always remember that everyone is different, and yet there are people on RUclips like Courtney here, acting as if representing all women everywhere when fact she doesn't. In addition to what you said, it's as if she's assimilating even foreign viewers to American ways which won't work for some if it means stepping out of one's own culture and values. Not only that, but comply to her image of ideal, as if the problems always lie in the guys, or that we have more problems to fix than girls who are perfect little angels waiting to the right guys to come round which is a stupid assumption.
And so the first point about the guy being a leader. Okay so if the guy plans out where to take the girl, and it turns out to be a strip club, without getting her opinion or input, and yet he made the firm decision to go there, is that going to be attractive to the girl? Courtney can argue this isn't what she meant and that it was inconsiderate, but how anyone be considerate to anyone they don't know? And how can anyone comply to vague "rules" as you mentioned? The solution to this problematic scenario is simple: just talk about the place you'll go to and come to an agreement. No need to make it a surprise, especially an unpleasant one.
@@michaelrespicio5683 The thing that really made me shake/scratch my head was in Courtney's video a few days ago about Summer Styling tips where she mentions going sockless even in favour of no show socks because at times you can still see a little of a no show sock. Now if a girl/woman is so shallow, or nit picky to reject someone JUST BECAUSE 1/8th of an inch of his "no show" socks MIGHT be showing of what might otherwise be a great, summer outfit, then OMFG WHO is the one with the problem? If something as nit picky as that will turn someone off, or cause them to reject you; then what the heck is wrong with the world?
@@jasonhurst8599 Again...could not have said it better, man. I thought the same thing. This is why I keep reminding myself and others to just wear what you like and screw what anyone else thinks as long as one does not look suspicious or is naked. It feels borderline like brainwashing, like "you can wear what you want but I'll still tell you what to wear anyway". She sees fashion differently than most other people; to those who don't care that much about style they see a bunch of clothes without much thought. Courtney sees "art" that needs to be done perfectly because it's the chick magnet and there are rules to consider when it does nothing for the most part. How often do people approach someone just because of their outfit? Not much I bet. Also dunno about you but let's be honest, does anyone actually remember everything she talks about...cause I don't. My brain learns things it deems relevant. Also she says girls hate this or notice that, even though they do or wear themselves. For example, she says girls hate graphic shirts...I've seen lots of girls wear graphic shirts or flip flops in warmer climates, why can't guys? Sorry for the tirade but for God's sake, screw what anyone thinks amd stop conforming to someone's ideal image
Also let's not forget that somebody makes these clothes. They have families to feed too so why can't we just appreciate what we have instead of giving in to pressure on being judged. It's ironic that she tells people to be confident and yet if one truly was, they wouldn't be influenced by this kind of stuff
@@michaelrespicio5683 Thanks Michael, and again, We'll said.
I agree that your clothes should fit, and look presentable; bit you should not have to be perfectly matched, and coordinated, or GQ styled every single time you leave the house. Especially if it's just to run to the store for a loaf of bread.
Also talking about the fit of clothes, it works both ways, and I'm sorry but there are some people - both men, AND women who should NOT WEAR TIGHT clothing or material such as spandex.
But the bottom line again is, you could dress 100% of the time like a GQ cover model, have the greatest sense of humor, and personality, be the most confident person alive, have your life in exquisite order, etc; but if you're not "hot", or "cute", most women will never give you the chance to prove it because far more often than not they judge a book by its cover...aka your LOOKS.
I'll have to make a note to be sure to do all of those things..at once.
"Slow it down, partner." 🤣
To start, I’m a big fan of your work C.R. I think you are giving a lot of guys genuine good advice. I have an issue with one thing.
I need to address the example you gave of being vulnerable. I thought it was a weak example to share something such as thoughts about a career change as being vulnerable. This diminishes what true vulnerability is IMO. For a man to show Vulnerability he may share a traumatic experience or a fear (one he keeps well hidden). His voice may crack, his hands might and shake and he may shed a tear. Not lose his control but, lower his emotional walls to grant permission for a special person to see his depth. This is real vulnerability. It doesn’t guide his actions but something he carry’s. The problem with this, is it is too high a risk to share with a girl. She would be turned off. Because of the example you gave I think it may be women in this case that may not typically understand the line between emotional vomit and vulnerability, however I do respect they know what turns them off. Food for thought.
Being ignored!
🥉
Ha ha but it does keep them closer to humility
Right lol
" the person you are with is going to enhance your life and your happiness , not be your life and happiness "
this one just made me think differently ...
We are lied to about love. It's two hearts in time, not two souls in harmony...unless it lasts a lifetime, and both gain the wisdom that is possible with age.
I haven't had a place in my life for a woman in 29 years which was the last time I was in a relationship. I don't see the point. I would rather be alone. I became a very strong man to learn how to be happy without women. No, I'm not gay if that's what your wondering.
I wasn't wondering. And frankly you are to be congratulated. Far too many men spend far too much time pursuing women. In fact the most successful men I know are unmarried, have no girlfriend, and don't date. They spend all of their time focusing on their professional careers, hobbies, the gym, and charity work.
I've never been in a relationship I feel happy now a days seeing all these toxic nonsense it's fun.
My girlfriend was full of emotional vomit, was always very needy and clingy, and despite me being in a weak position I was still in a slightly stronger position than she was, that is why she always came to me. and for a while I was very supportive and I still consider her a friend but after a while the spark disappeared. she disappeared too, not that I hold it against her maybe she had something important to do she had a lot of problems and I hope she is ok. But if she doesn't reach out to me than I simply can't help her. But when women don't feel like they need you they wouldn't give you a time of day. I'm not saying all women are like that but many of them are. if they are weak they go to you, but when they are in stronger or equal position as you are, then many of them will see you as inferior and if you show any kind of weakness (maybe because you had more than your fair share of bad luck) then they at best see you as unworthy. At most will cause problems for you of all kinds. And as far as I'm concerned what you said just proves this point. I thought women grow up when they get above 25. In fact I thought women in their 30s are more mature than we are at that age. But it seems I was wrong. and they call us immature. maybe the reason why I act like a teenager sometimes is because I had no chance to really be a teenager when I was one. What is their excuse.
Is it just me or is a good portion of this list just things that women do that we’re expected to tolerate? Like complaining about work without presenting or wanting solutions or “emotional vomiting”? Which imo is a term that shouldn’t exist within the context of a relationship because all that tells me is I have to package my vulnerability in a way that is palatable to my woman. Which is the opposite of being able to be vulnerable without judgment.
That's what a good therapist, bartender, or drinking buddy are for.
When you have been in a relationship for 50+ years with the same woman, and you're nearing the end of your life, then Yes, you can be totally honest, because, by that point, Who cares?
Until then, when you're courting a woman, most men don't want to see her at her worst (without makeup, when she's sick, etc.). Same thing with women. They want to see you at your best, or, at the very least, that you can handle what life throws at you. Otherwise, it's unattractive. Do that too often, and it's Bye-Bye relationship. 🙁
@@marcmays48 Relating to one another intimately as human beings is a luxury we can't afford until - as you say - "who cares?" For a life lived fully and meaningfully, it's ironic that we also must embrace the empty and the meaningless. We have to live roles and become comfortable in masks.
You did great! Thanks for making the effort. I can always use good information. You provided that.
1. be short
2. not having enough money/broke
3. ugly/unattractive
3. is the most important. Look at guys like Kenny Chesney, Tom Cruise. Attractive short guys, even at 5'7", there are still tons of girls that are 5'0"-5'4" that can wear heels around you and you are taller than them.
i'm guilty of the first one, i really don't do a whole lot unless i have to, i sit and listen and space out and think about everything and nothing and is easily entertained by others who throw themselves at the lime light.
i have no desire for that, if i end up in the lime light i do not shy away from it but rarely do i get put in that situation, it's usually a pleasant surprise to people when it happens.
but so far i don't know any woman who is able to just kick it and enjoy life coming at them.
it's true what they say, one of the worst thing you can do is bore a woman, ain't no woman about that quiet life.
Love your videos♥️
Thank you ❤️
