One thing that drew me to my significant other is that she was clearly upset at the way dating sites work and the whole dating culture. It showed me that she expected traditional things that were rare/hard to find, and wasn't the usual bag of red flags. We both went into dating having some bitterness and anger at how our society has conditioned people to be incapable of long term relationships, but since we saw each other as an exception to the usual bad experience, it's 11 years later and we're still happy together. If you're sane, and older than 20, you've probably got some very good reasons to have at least a little bitterness or anger... to get rid of that would require a lobotomy.

When a girl provides sexual pleasure to sexually frustrated men, and she feels no hesitation to talk to those sexually frustrated men but she shows hesitation about talking to a particular guy who she likes, so doesn't it mean that she is having mental problems, she is sleazy, and she has no self respect?

I just went through a (thankfully) peaceful divorce after eight years. I have two kids and I'm living alone again just trying to be a good dad. Although there are periods of loneliness, I'm convinced, for me at least, that the single life is way better. I'm 42 and I now know that marriage just isn't for me. Will I meet someone special in the future when I can barely walk? Maybe. But I love the way it is now. I finally feel free again and can be ME. No walking on egg shells anymore.

Courtney correctly points out that there is a difference between preferences and standards. Standards are your minimum requirements, and preferences are things you would like to get if you can. People too often confuse these two things. There are a few things you should never compromise on. And then there are a lot of things you should. You bring certain things to the table, and that gives you a value to members of the opposite sex. It's referred to as your SMV (Sexual Market Value) The question then becomes, what can you get for that? Think of it like buying a television. You might not be able to afford the most expensive one. Or maybe what you really want isn't in stock. So, what do you do? You figure out what features you really need and try to get the best bargain.

I can honestly say I’m the happiest I’ve ever been since childhood. I’m currently going to school to become a Nurse and I just picked up a summer job. Granted I’m only 20, but I battled a-lot of demons and project my own misery onto others during my teenage years. Lost a lot of friends and my attitude strongly affected my relationship with my mother. I graduated high school in 2021 and during Covid I became a stress eater. I stopped being an asshole but the weight just packed on. I graduated 185 pounds . 4 months ago I weighed in at 235. That must of been my magical number because I completely overhauled my diet and started working out for the first time. In these past 4 months, I’ve lost 22.5 pounds and this morning I weighed myself at 212.5 pounds. I feel absolutely amazing and I’m also starting to to see muscle definition appear in my upper body, which I’ve never had before. So mentally, I crossed all these points off in your video. I just feel like holding off on dating still and working on my physical health and college. Granted I’m open to the idea, just not a obsessively pursuing it. About a month or two back my mom talked to me about all my positive changes that have I have made. She told me this is the happiest she seen me I a very long time and that it finally feels like she has her son back🥹

Nothing wrong with being bitter! Keep in mind that our negative emotions tend to hurt US more than they hurt others. So try to resolve your bitterness for your own peace of mind, so YOU can be well-regulated, and not to benefit some broad! She aint worth it! Women like JERKS! In spite of everything they say otherwise, if she has a choice between a nice guy and a jerk, she will choose the jerk everytime and she KNOWS it! so let your bitterness bring out your inner jerk; let it bring out an edge to you. Its that part that turns them on! They want to chase and tame the wild stallion!

Good points. Far too many people bounce around between partners because they can't stand the thought of being alone, yet they haven't really done the internal work required to make relationships last. I get that it's rough out there, but there is an aspect of individual contributions to those situations most of the time. At the end of the day, it seems like people who are ready to date and willing to put in the effort will make it happen with the right person. If you're not really ready for it, even if you say to others that you are, it's unlikely to really work out and you're better off waiting until it's actually time.

I just got out of a relationship where I was told my efforts never counted or never mattered. All she cared about was being taken on dates, but not about how much I put in around our apartment or to keep us going (e.g., cooking, cleaning, etc.). Then she would tell me it was my fault, but she never did anything to support me. It's so hard to hear the effort example though for some reason cause I still feel like maybe I actually wasn't putting in enough effort, but I put in so much for so long and then when I needed the support for real, she blamed me further.

And I that wasn’t me I even told that too . But somehow it got to her then I realized I don’t need that type of energy . took it took awhile for me understand that I did my part and she didn’t . And that’s that. But there be someone who will recognize the effort you put in whatever relationship you have next time . Keep going dawg .

There is a theory/book called "5 love languages" which describes your problem with the previous girl pretty well. You were expressing love with service and she wants it expressed with time (or possibly gifts if the dates are intended to be expensive). The gaslighting at the end of the relationship is not stuff you should tolerate but unfortunately is pretty common practice when the relationship is already holed below the waterline.

I totally agree. If you are not comfortable with yourself, how can you expect someone else to be comfortable with you?!? Also going on these "dates with yourself" can be construed as research or practice for when you take another person along with you the next time. Practice makes perfect! As long as you don't go to any certain location so often that you develop a first name relationship. If you do, be prepared to explain yourself if asked!

The one that I am having a lot of trouble with is putting myself out, because of the past friendships that thank god didnt turn into dating relationships, which i am still having trouble getting over. The part where Courtney mentions that men and women say that "all women are bad," or "all men are bad," i do get those thoughts, but at the same time I tell myself, there are good women out there, and not all are bad. One thing that I do want to say is, despite how toxic society is its just so difficult to talk to people. I mean I used to be extrovereted but since COVID I have changed and I will admit it. However, one thing that I have noticed or it could just be me, many couples are breaking up or getting divorced and it breaks my heart.

I often hear the advice that you just need to go on more dates. Ok, sure. I've seen girls say they went on 100 dates over the course of a year (around 2 dates a week) before they found the right guy. That's great for a girl. Unfortunately for a man 100 dates can easily cost you over $10,000. That's a lot of money

This is an important video to me. It confirmed I was right to make certain decisions in the past because I was not ready to date. Looking back at the past always filled me with regret because I wondered what could have been. Now I know dating would have gone tragically. The video relieved regret because it was enlightening. This video let me know I am ready to date, to a degree. There is still more I can do to improve. One of the roads to dating, as far as I can see, is to know I am naïve. If I make friends with what I don't know then the truth stands open to those without intentions.

Interesting points Courtney. I like to compare different channels on KZbin for information much like someone who comparison shops for best price, and quality at stores. Coach Greg Adams who is another KZbin content creator just put out a video hours before yours of "Why Dating is No Longer Fun". Coach brought up some excellent points that in my opinion are more accurate about the Dating arena for our time. 1st- Anywhere between a quarter to a third of "Dates" are "Foodie" calls that are used by women for free dinner, drinks, and entertainment. These women aren't on the "Date" for pursuing any further relationship or friendship with their male benefactor. (Azusa Pacific University and UC Merced studies-June 2019) 2nd-Dating in past generations was never intended to carry past a certain age as this was socially considered the "Courtship" phase to marriage. 3rd- Social/Commercial influences today have left many women with a sense of entitlement for ever greater and grander "Dates" without any effort or contribution on their part. In conclusion I believe that the majority of single adults in the USA who are past their late 20's aren't ready for relationships or dating. In my opinion the older people are who continue "Dating" have ruined this social practice for younger adults and late teens and destroyed whatever fun there might have been for these young people.🔱

For the longest time, I was in denial. I was bitter, angry and not over my first ex-girlfriend. I thought I was but all evidence to the contrary proved otherwise. I finally talked to a therapist and she helped through a lot of stuff. I am emotionally mature/available, put in the right effort, willing to compromise. The thing is, I’ve dated or gone on dates with women who expect me to do all of that and then some BUT DO NOT DO IT FOR ME. Any effort I put in was not reciprocated at all so that’s why I’ve been single for three years now.

There are parts of all of these signs that I feel I relate to, with the exception of not being fully over someone else. There are any number of things that I could point to as to why I’m not in a relationship. For the most part, at this point in my life, I’ve gotten used to not being in a relationship. I don’t know which one you would classify this under, but the biggest thing for me is that I just don’t consider myself worthy of that kind of attention from the opposite sex. So I just go about handling my responsibilities to the best of my ability, because I have no idea what to do to feel worthy of that kind of love from a woman.

Courteny I have to say your channel is both informative and enlightening to the masses. I have not been on the seen of dating in 27 years. Everything you mention is on point to how men should behave and interact with women. My only wish is that both women and men listen to the wisdom of your words and act upon them. As a widow speaking from the heart, women and men of this day have to remember one thing, "In the end we are friends willing to do for the other". Romance is great, intimacy is great, but ultimately women and men are friends. Thank you Courtney. 💛

Do me a flavor: ask all your female acquaintances how many relationships they had, and how many were good, how many were bad. then ask her whose fault she thinks it was. it if she says that it was HIS fault less than 90%, come tell us, and find out if they are still single! LOL no matter whose fault it truly is, it will always be OUR fault (the man's) in her eyes, and in her stories. And ALL women and half the men will believe her! this is why so many guys are BITTER! because we cause half the problems but must accept 100% of the blame! if you aint a little bit bitter in the face of that, you are STILL drinking the Koolaide!
