Yes, learned helplessness is a really big and common problem. It’s tough because the guy doesn’t objectively “know” 100% if it’s over or there is still a chance waiting around the corner.
It would take a leap of faith (at a bare minimum) to continue around that corner.
He was a pretty good friend. Plus I only had a brief amount of time. Probably could have gotten a makeout and felt her boobs max. It was a party at a small apartment with a few other people in the next room. Sex with her was definitely out of the question. Buddy could have walked in at any...
Not a wife, but a taken chick.
At a party in the early 2000s, my buddy’s gf was talking to me in a different room. Ok fine.
But she moved in closer and talked to me two inches from my face while looking into my eyes. (We were standing not seated. There was zero reason to move in that...
There is no guarantee that women will notice the improvement or care about the improvement.
It really depends. Some improvements are really obvious to others. Others are not noticeable or at least not noticeable enough to move the needle.
Other improvements are noticeable but it’s not in an...
I chuckle when they say, “Book a free introductory/exploratory call.”
Translation:
“I only offer ‘packages’ starting at $8k and up, but if I said that on my website or YT channel, you’d run.”
lol
If you’re in the FZ too long, you become her brother. You have comfort and emotional connection, but without the mutual romantic/sexual connection.
And even though it might seem quite logical for her to start dating her best guy friend, that thought will typically give her the “ick” because...
Sure, ask her and get the closure you want. Then move on.
I’m sorry, but the probability of this resulting in you two dating is very, very close to zero. I’ve been there and learned the hard way.
She’s had many, many opportunities to date you, but she hasn’t availed herself of any of...
There’s nothing wrong with low six figs per se. That’s where I’m at.
But it doesn’t really show up on women’s radar in 2025. I think that is what the other guys are getting at.
I know what you’re saying.
There are some that save the graphic stuff for their girl friends.
But many do not. I will note that, in most cases, they aren’t purposely trying to be emasculating or gross with TMI. They generally don’t mean any disrespect towards the guy friend.
She’s...
I worked with a woman who had a 30-something sister. The sister was hooking up with low 20s guys. She self-identified as a “Puma” because she thought “Cougar” made her sound old lol. But, for all intents and purposes, was she “cougar-ing?” Yeah no doubt. So yeah I see your point about...
While there is nothing wrong with trying to make the process more efficient, you might get a better ROI if you focus on eliminating or at least mitigating what is holding you back.
What bad habits/vices or incompatible goals/beliefs are getting in your way? What do you most need to get rid of?
Not taking her side at all, but I will say this…
She was being honest when she said “Don’t take it personally.”
She meant that she wasn’t trying to be rude. She’s just not attracted, so she is giving you low priority in her life.
I should also add that most women friends I’ve had in recent years are ones I met through work. That sets up a respectful platonic dynamic from the beginning, generally.
I met the boyfriend of my current female friend. I’m sure he was skeptical in the beginning, but he’s been cool with...
I had a female friend I wasn’t attracted to. That worked pretty well. She was intelligent and had a guy’s sense of humor. We would hang out every few weeks. She moved away; otherwise I probably would have kept up the friendship.
I have another female friend that I initially was quite...
