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.

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.

[@iimmortalldreams]

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.

[@Set-vt]

damn, that's facts bro. resonated with this, no cap.

[@drakecliff8378]

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.

[@Xoulrath_]

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.

[@Lonstermash]

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

[@peagames2002]

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.

[@dat868]

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.

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.

[@Lonstermash]

@@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.

[@storyok3261]

@@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.

[@wazzupman245]

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.

[@insiderinside1905]

[@eveliinahannele]

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.

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.

[@Iam18]

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.

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.

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."

[@KazanaAoi]

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."

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.

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.

[@matthalo89]

@@chickenbroski99 it’s not complaining. It’s an observation he made….

[@marcmays48]

@@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.

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.

I'm thankful that you carefully defined emotional vulnerability with examples, but you may really want to come up with a different term.

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.

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.

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

[@michaelrespicio5683]

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

[@jasonhurst8599]

@@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.

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.

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.

It’s literally the first thing that comes up whenever we talk or see each other again.

[@richardthomas598]

An adjunct to pointw 1, 3 and 4 is to avoid or run from women who try to compromise your autonomy. While relationships are about building a life together, that isn't supposed to be all-encompassing or exclusive of independence. The more she hems you in, the less of a leader and the clingier you become. So she is literally demolishing part of what she found attractive in the first place, often to satisfy her own insecurities. If a guy feels like this is happening, it should prompt a serious assessment of what is a fair, reasonable boundary. If it is, you probably need to break that off, as you have hit the beginning of the end anyway.

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.

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.

[@chickenbroski99]

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.

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!

[@ajtaylor8750]

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.
