This is actually great advice from Joe - “Be somebody that someone wants to be in a relationship with.”

[@locotek]

@JustMemes No that’s not what he means at all. He is saying don’t be a garbage individual who doesn’t work on oneself and you won’t have issues finding or maintaining a healthy relationship. People have a lot of nasty character traits and habits they don’t feel like addressing thus sabotage themselves throughout life. This stuff doesn’t need to be excused as part of one’s “personality”.

[@patryka11]

I had many girlfriends and even I proposed once. But deep there I knew I did not want that. So I waited like an asshole and changed inside and finally found completely different girl, different to any former girls. She is genuine kind and nice person, no stupid pride to say something nice, no manipulation but honesty. So I say - be alone, learn to be alone. Many people are with others because they do not know how to be alone and they chose wrong. When you learn how to be alone and because you start to really like yourself then everything change. You are no longer with somebody because you hate to be alone but you like yourself and you invite somebody to your great life.

[@TeresaKayWilliams]

Heres a question I learned long ago… “Are you the man the woman you are looking for is looking for?”

[@Michael.Virtus]

The worst factor in relationships is that in the early phase when the love bio-chemistry is through the roof both partners want to please their loved ones and are open and tolerant to the other's favorite preferences (interests, hobbies, food, etc). And after that period is over than you realize this person actually enjoys things that you are not liking at all. And it becomes very unpleasant to live with a person so different than you.

[@RobertNotKeen]

Facts

[@weeohwee100]

joe's advice is something i always tell myself and others: be the best version of yourself for someone. Too often people worry so much on what they want in a partner , but they forget about trying to hold the same standards for themselves. If you want someone who is genuine and kind and honest apply those same rules to yourself. And lastly, find people who share same values and beliefs as you do.

[@user-og2wt3le4j]

I would also add check that potential partner out. If no one among family, friends, church, co-workers says anything bad about her that's a good sign. Most women have some people they don't along with. So if everyone loves your woman that's a good sign. A bad sign: if she has no female friends that's a red flag.

[@benhallo1553]

With Lex it revolves around the fact he never puts himself in situations where he can serendipitously meet women. If he spends all day his study learning, your meetings with new potentiel women per year falls drastically, and with that, your ‘hit rate’ because you aren’t practicing your social skills

[@evedotcom]

Hit rate, cringe. Also you don’t know what he’s doing. And there are multiple ways to go about this beyond the path you mention. I heard Andrew Huberman talk about setting him up with a friend. He may be meeting more women than you think. He seems fairly social for an introvert.

[@dannykuang9433]

@@evedotcom soon as I read hit rate and imagining "tagging" women like some deer out in the wilds...*cringe* lol, but I sorta get what he means although his description leaves much to be desired. Never be "eager" for something, especially meeting someone for a relationship, it never ends well. Find someone when you find someone, no point to force it to happen. I've never put myself in social situations to increase my "hit rate" and never really was trying to look for a girlfriend..but guess what? I always ended up finding one when I found one.

[@benhallo1553]

@@evedotcom didn’t mean Hit rate as in sleep with them. I just mean interactions that lead to some form of romantic development. Also if you want proof of this, look at what he says in this video where talks about working too hard and not making the time and on top of that he has another video which is like an example of his usual. He literally spends it completely alone studying AI, exercising alone and like practicing guitar

If that was true, it would be easy to find you. It isn’t, so you might want to revise your statement. Like, you, the ones waving your hands ALSO are, to no fault of your own, subconsciously looking for: height, build, humour, physically confident, etc. People like Lex don’t fall into most of those categories and end up not even making the corner of your eye sitting in the same coffee shop, restaurant, or a friend’s party as you. When you’re approached by the Lexs of this world, you don’t seem stimulated enough sexually, so you filter that off as nice guy / friend. And there you have it.

Sense of humor is huge, be kind and be a mature man as best you can and keep growing.

[@michaelc.3812]

Yeah, I have to agree with another commenter. Don’t look for perfection, but BE the perfection (as best you can) for someone. BE the person everyone wants to be with. That might just help you find a great mate. And of course have very similar perspectives on faith, family, and life…..

Ah I love this clip and Lex and Joe having a genuine discussion about real relationships and what is truly important in partners and friends. I would add to the traits of kindness and happiness, someone intelligent like you Lex! I love to discuss movies and music and art and want to know what books you've read and interesting conversations you've had. If I ever try dating again that would be my criteria. In the meantime I'm enjoying my solo journey

have you had moments where you’ve fallen or have you been able to balance it well

[@rachellesawyer6523]

This is Joe Rogan at his best - love it

[@naomiruwainegutierrezparri3997]

Such good advice. Thumbs up Rogan.

[@23Robusto]

Such great advice

[@Shmandalf]

Lex has a point. Everything kind of stops when you're in love - it is a lot of work but its always been worth it in my experience.

[@GeneralRamm910]

Wasn't worth it once to me. Not once. Only worth it in the fact that I experienced it enough to actively swear it off and have grown exponentially as a person, not only being alone, but WANTING to be alone.

[@steveN111333]

Lex could find someone easy ! He's a cool dude 😎

[@kelvintorres2675]

Great advice

[@falldog9]

This is true, thanks for reminding us.

It took me years and several relationships to realize I actually prefer being single. I think relationships are highly overrated. If you can accept that you don’t need to be in one, life can be damn liberating. My career took off, I found new hobbies and was far less stressed

[@evedotcom]

Interesting. It took me years and several relationships to realise I’m okay and enough being single. I‘ve become much healthier and more successful since (after an initial painful transition). But I would not say I prefer being single and relationships are highly overrated. I would say at this time in my life, being single has been necessary and, contrary to popular belief, a fulfilling experience. I can see value in a high quality relationship and I’m gradually opening up to it, but I also feel whole on my own. It’s a great position to be in. There can be so much value in extended periods of being single.

[@dalegrant9282]

No question that career takes off when you're single, best time of my life was when I was single, saved the most money.

[@davidgalea6113]

you guys must be american

[@MideanStone]

@@davidgalea6113 Aussie here, absolutely love being single, career is in a great place, life is great. I also only sleep with someone i love, so the downside is no sexytime, but the gym takes care of that haha.

[@davidgalea6113]

​@@MideanStone relationships are important, evolution hardwired this into us. Look at the The Harvard Study of Adult Development. one of their conclusions from this massive 75 year study is that there is a very strong correlation between happiness and relationships. Im single i might be content the way things are but im not going to pretend that a good relationship is not one of the most important thing is life.

[@SeasonOfLove14]

Let him finish his question Joe!

[@blueskynrainbows]

A little more kindness, a little less judgement

[@Shatamx]

This is amazing advice.

[@GuilhermeSpindola]

Lex loves Natalie Portman on his thumbnails clips HAHAHHA

[@lyrand6408]

Can't blame that, Natalie Portman is basically perfect (of course, it's subjective but... it's not lol, she's perfect).

[@EnwardSnowman]

It's not complicated, man. Just star in several syndicated TV shows and become enormously wealthy. Simple.

[@rohithdsouza8]

-Focus on yourself and be better -Be with someone who has similar values as yours Most Valuable: Surround yourself with great people.

[@bluemystic7501]

That was actually great advice there, Joe.
