I have a theory and please bare with me. Leftists starting gaining ground fast after the Cold war ended cause the west was unchallenged. So they wanted a society that had docile male for the population to pose no challenge and a fragmented social structure that can’t function without government heavy regulations and control. That was when western real gdp combined was 67% of the world economy. Now it’s 42% and there are only 20 non western allied countries today having 42% and they have 5 nuclear powers between them. In the next 5 years these 20 countries would have 45% and the west would have 38% Current tensions between these non western countries would probably lead to more hardship on every front in the west and across the world. Hard times need strong men. The west can’t face that with over 90% of it’s population ranging from women to children to old people to lgbtq… So i think the algorithms are intentionally pushing tate and in the short term you would see tens of men like him gaining popularity to change the narrative and culture.

I always looked at it like this. Men don’t seek external validation from the opposite sex. Women do, they like the validation and attention that comes with a best friend with a man. That’s the real reason why men can’t remain friends, it’s not because we are calloused. It’s because a friendship with a women becomes one-sided, it’s an unbalanced relationship. You’re a noble person though, you never crossed the boundaries with the woman you speak of. I myself am put off by women that emotionally cheat on their men with me. Why?

She didn't really understand why they became that way as she'd known then for a while but I certainly knew. She asked for my opinion. So i said that they were lying to themselves for however long she knew them and didn't want to risk rejection. I said in my opinion she dodged a bullet cause their reaction just oozed insecurity and should have risked asking you out even though they may have got lost the friendship.

Never ever be with a woman that refuses to give up her guy friends for you. A really simple question to ask yourself, how many happily married women do you know that have guy friends independent of their husbands friends?.....If a woman can't appropriately self-regulate 'guy friends' when you are in a LTR with her, tell her once what you expect, if she doesn't follow your expectations, its a next.

I don’t think I’ve ever been true “friends” with a woman. I don’t talk to the girlfriends/wives of my friends outside of polite greetings when we run into each other and just don’t find them that interesting. My boys and I have similar senses of humor and make inappropriate jokes that are laughed about and then forgotten later. It’s a very simple world we live in when it’s just us and I’ll never risk it colliding with the entirely separate world of emotional connection with women, whether it’s mine or theirs.

@@NFSMAN50 I'll clarify, I don't intentionally screen women out as friends, it's just how things have always sort of played out.

I think that guys and girls can be friends even if they're attracted to each other as long as they're not "in love" with each other. A lot of my female friends are attractive people, but I know that our personalities wouldn't work in a relationship. The experience of being in a relationship with mismatched personalities might play a role in that, but I don't think attraction will become an obstacle to a relationship unless people allow it to be.

[@countryboyred]

Depends upon how attracted you are. I can’t imagine agreeing to “just be friends” with a woman I was extremely attracted to. I would ask her out and if she didn’t want to go out it’s time to walk away. Why would I hover around her, watch her get into other relationships, and eventually wind up heartbroken?

[@ABenAbides]

While I understand where you're coming from I would argue that once you know who you are (decide what your core values are) you aren't going to want to tie yourself to people who don't fit that even if you find them attractive.

[@rainerminusunfug]

1. You were not listening, she put it exactly right: it's not possible once there is sexual attraction / tension. You can be friends with the over sex easily, if there is no physical attraction to begin with. And that goes not only for looks but esp. for smell. Our bodies communicate nonverbally via pheromones. If you are not compatible genetically, you'll not find each other attractive naturally. The big problem here is, that hormonal contraception seems to mess with the female antennas in the worst way possible. So much so, that they decide for the guys who they are least compatible with. So once they want to start a family and get of the pill, they won't get pregnant AND her attraction to him subsides significantly. 2. Good relationships build on a good friendship. You can't love someone you wouldn't even be friends with. Being friends with someone gives you time to test the waters, whether you are compatible as potential partners. If not, you just stay friends. If yes, you build from there. Problems occur only if there is a disconnect: one wants, the other not. In this case it's the decision of the wanting part how to deal with the situation. Parting ways is one option. Going on w/o hard feelings and stay friends the other. This takes some emotional maturity though. But as you can fall in love, you can fall out of it. It just takes some time. Courtney said, it always ended that the guys in her friend circle wanted more and that led to the end of the friendship eventually. But she did not elaborate how exatly. I tell you how: the guys either couldn't take a hint and wouldn't stop chasing her, so she ended it. Or they left immediately after rejection because they were after her from the beginning and never platonic friends to begin with. 3. Female friends are invaluable for any guy. Women basically have an unconscious vouching culture regarding men. If a woman vouches for you, your threat potential drops a lot and you are much more approachable for women. Hence the cliché that all women suddenly show interest in you once you are taken, but show the cold shoulder while you are single. A female friend is the best wingman you can get. Next best thing is a wedding ring on your hand.

[@gauravingle]

@@rainerminusunfug All I'm trying to say is friendship is fine, like on the surface level like you're on talking terms, greet each other when you meet and stuff but this best friend shit is what I don't agree to, you can't just hang out all day night long, know everything about each other, enjoy each other's company and still not get into relationship I mean that's a cap, humans in general are not wired to work that way, as a heterosexual man myself I can confirm for the average man if I girl shows interest in you and relates with you more than any other girl no matter what their intentions were initially but they are going to persue her eventually and it's a fact.

[@rainerminusunfug]

​@@gauravingle Ok, thanks for clarifying. I agree at some points, but I see it a bit differently still. In the end, that's a personal thing anyway. See, I have and had close female friends and it does indeed work out for me. Mostly because I'm simply not attracted to them (and vice versa). But they are great people still. I get the notion, that you'll eventually fall for someone when you get close and emotionally intimate for a longer period of time. Humans work like this indeed. That's how set up / forced marriages still worked out back in the day (and in some places still today). What is definitely true is, that when a friendship becomes a relationship and this relationship ends, the friendship usually won't survive the breakup. I saw some people in my life, pulling this off, but I'm not one of them. So you'll always have to keep in mind, that pursuing a friend romantically, will jeopardize the friendship. That's why I don't consider FWB or any other shenanigans with my long time female friends. Maybe YOUR catch is, that you subconciously only chose women as close friends that you also deemed to be good potential partners? This would make sense, since who would consciously hang out with unattractive people anyway? On another note: even if you end up pursuing a friend and get rejected eventually. What's the problem with staying friends afterwards? The hurt ego? Lovesickness? The jealousy of seeing her getting it on with other guys later on? I get that this can be difficult, but it's not rocket science either. The question is: do you value the friendship higher than the potential relationship? If yes, that might justify the effort you are willing put in. This only works of course, if the woman truly sees you as a friend and not as a beta orbiter simp in a constant friendzone. You have to be on equal footing.

Direction and stability are what I found to be gamechangers. I never had feelings towards a girl/woman until I was 23 working in an office. Being a late bloomer, I made all the mistakes people made and learned from in grade school: essentially my day and thoughts revolved around her and I was doing nothing for myself. I was heartbroken for years and felt pity for being such a late bloomer. Now that I’m in law school with a mission of personal growth at 28 I find relationships with women to be far more seamless and natural. I’m now secure in myself with a defined future strapped to my belt. Before I was floating through life after college and didn’t have much structure or direction. My current direction has made me almost bulletproof: I am fine with any degree of relationship a woman wants to have with me. I’ve finally experienced heartbreak and depression and it has ironically given me such an optimistic view of my future. I fell so hard that I have become tough. I fell down but I got back up. What did not kill me only made me stronger 💪 Heartbreak + personal evaluation after heartbreak + career goals = unstoppable me I don’t cling, I don’t worry, I don’t obsess, and I don’t make plans around a woman of interest like I did at 23 with my Guinea Pig of a crush. My experiences at 23 taught me how to be with women by teaching me what NOT to do. I now have lady friends I study with, go to concerts with, party with, sleep with etc. I’m doing well with women because I’m living my life for ME, not someone else like I did at 23. I do the decency of not sleeping with women in the same social group and telling them I’m not exclusive. Afterall I’m in law school in New York City. Romance of the serious type is not a priority, being the best version of myself is.

And I 100% agree with Tate when he talks about women not giving attention to sad men unless a man completely ignores his feelings cause most women, at this risk of getting flak for saying this, women don’t want to be stressed with your problems and sadness.

Great tips! And speaking of “Emotional Connection…” One of the main reasons why women lose attraction for a man is because, attraction is like a plant. If you don’t keep watering it, it dies. Getting a woman attracted to you, that’s the easy part - now keeping her attracted, that’s a whole new ball game. One of the most powerful ways to keep the attraction going is by learning - how to “build a deep emotional connection” with a woman. Once you have learned that, you won’t have to worry about her leaving you - she’ll be chasing you instead. Anyway, that’s my two cents. -Carlos Verde - Dating Tips

I also don't support that women can have many husband in polygamy not saying this because I am a man but it cause more problems and chaos then a men being with 2-4 wife, even in scientifically it's not good to have more than one husband for women. she can't satisfy more than one man in sexual or emotionally and I don't say it is a defect but it's reality and science also has proofs FOR IT. according to me no men should be permissible to have more than 4 wife and if he had 4 wife, he should treat everyone good in sexual, emotional and economically but if he can't satisfy those needs to those wife then he should marry only one.

Great point on the 2nd clip. I actually fell in love with a woman I met online before I ever saw her. We met on a message board about a TV show, started to DM each other, got to know each other, our conversations became more personal, and in depth, and I soon realized that I loved (and still/will always love) her. When we finally did see each other it didn't change anything. She is beautiful, but that had/has no bearing on my feelings. Unfortunately there does need to be some initial spark of attraction, and while there was definitely a mutual spark, or curiosity/mystery/intrigue when we first started to communicate. (Playful bantering, teasing, debating about the show, etc), I completely sabotaged any possible shot I may have had by being a self-centered, selfish, narcissistic, non thinking, JERK! (Which makes me even more furious, and unforgiving of myself since I know that honestly isn't how I ever wanted to be.) We had exchanged photos, and things were fine, but it was when we decided to have our first video chat that I blew it. (This is where I wish I had, had videos like Courtney's to learn from about making first impressions, appearance, grooming, etc) I didn't give 2 thoughts about my appearance, I had dirty dishes in the background, etc; all the while she made a concerted effort to look her best. My selfish, narcissistic mindset was, "She should like me however I am " Then to make matters worse, I started acting completely differently. I started to pedestalize her, always agreeing, etc. I went from being/acting confident, to being a SIMP! She literally told me I had changed. That I had become boring. She told me, "I don't want/need a girlfriend."

Don’t get me wrong, it’s SO entertaining to listen to what some of these people think, especially when it validates what we think and feel about these topics, but men need to just start trusting themselves more than they trust some of these “red pillers.”

[@deeptonesasmr6459]

Courtney, you’re extremely classy. Your responses were so -to the point-and about the info, rather than bashing the person (which is so common these days).

Tate's not polyamorus in the modern sense. He's polygamous in the old world sense.

[@fdblade1529]

From what I've seen it's usually the woman who suggests it. Then the guy just pretends to go along with it, but what he's really doing is looking for another woman that he clicks with, and when he finds her he drops the hammer and it's over.

[@jleano609]

@@fdblade1529 Yes, poly couples are often woke couples. Any guy with half a brain who is operating in his own best interest should realize it's a pretty terrible deal for men. The world is full of thirsty guys wanting to sleep with his girl, meanwhile most guys have to put in some WORK to attract women. Ergo, she'll be having a lot more fun than he will. Other than that if a woman loves and respects a guy she'll be naturally monogamous. That's why it's feminist chicks with beta guy(s) who tend to fall into these relationships.

You should've reacted to a clip of Andrew Tate talking about men's mental health in kind of a debate with a woman.

[@RiceDaddy07]

My two cents on the opposite sex friends thing: If two people are emotionally mature and (most of all) are high value enough where they have many people constantly attracted to them, they can definitely be friends with people from the opposite gender. For example, I make friends with people I get along with. I don't care if they're male or female. Why would I not want to be friends with someone just because I can or can't sleep with them? That's a shitty way to view people. That's incel logic. If you're secure in yourself, you won't see people as benefits, but as people. Andrew Tate is a massively insecure man and his advise exposes him as such. He is a very fearful and paranoid (and emotional) person.

Men's attraction to women is not limited to their beauty and popping out a baby. There is nurturing, supporting, caregiving. Men don't need women without those qualities.

Once I realised that women who should be in my ball park, and even women I’m not attracted to- brush me pretty much because I’m 5”7…I realised it was a hopeless game. To the streets with them all. At 51, I’m too old for flakey women, and going through any sort of heartache. “We are biologically wired to be gold diggers- according to science” Rrrrrrrrright 🙄

[@-Aurumn-]

I can be friends with women who reject me romantically. I ask them. They say no. And I'm okay with that. I'll just find someone else. I feel for guys who get hung up on individual women, and I don't blame them for needing to remove themselves from the equation, but that's not a problem I have.

[@geraltofrivia3242]

the brutally honest truth is no men cant be true friends with women unless they are physically not attracted to them or are gay. feelings will always get in the way regardless of time. the longer it goes on the harder it will be for the man to take being just a friend.

Sometimes it's hard to accept things that just work better. A very good female friend I had, the last times we spoke was bragging about this guy and the other, I just had to cut her speech and say "u know what? this is just not gonna work, I think we are getting so much apart" Don't wait for the girl to leave or dump the guy they're with lol, it's so beta

[@jeffstillwell6802]

I have had friendships with attractive women where it was more of a Bro/Sis relationship. Especially true when we each had our own strong relationships and we know the others partners. It is a great opportunity to get a perspective on your own relationships from someone on the other side.

Hello Courtney: Firstly, good job, well done. I am actually very good at having female friends. However, I do understand why other people aren't interested or find it difficult. It would be a good topic for a future video. Stay well and safe.

[@TheMrjxam]

What i find interesting Courtney is that when you said '' I'd never want to sleep with a guy that has slept with a lot of women'' but i can almost guanrtee you would not want to sleep with a guy who's no sexual experience either/very little.

ANDREW TATE is that thing that rarely exists anymore in this modern age... an ACTUAL Alpha made.. he's the real deal, physically, and in stature... I doubt there are many women who would turn down the shot at being his #1 lady.

I can assure you that a LOT of high value women find him TOO childish and pathetic, to even spend 5 minutes listening to his podcasts. Even I as a male, cannot listening to him for 1 straight minutes without crooking my toes.

@@andersnielsen6044 just the fact that you applied the term "High Value" to a woman negates anything you have to say.. truth is for most men (the vast majority or masculine men), the only thing high value about a woman is her looks... nobody gives a shit if she's a Harvard graduate boss babe... tits, ass, sex, silence and sandwiches and most men (especially higher value men) are happy..

[@Whispers0f0blivion]

My youngest daughter is in a poly relationship with 2 friends who are married to each. I wouldn't really care, but knowing her as I do her reason for being in this relationship is because she doesn't want the responsibility & restrictions that come with a true monogamous relationship. With this relationship she doesn't have to be responsible for many of the fights, decisions & other responsibilities. While she may offer some minor things, she's still more remeniscent of some type of parasite.

[@AR-gw2ud]

I know this is a hard pill to swallow. Let her do her my g. Wish you all the strength 💪

[@windchimesilo9623]

Are her choices not a reflection of the lessons you taught her? In the end, it may not even be your fault either. We are fed so much bs about things that we stray from what we want and need to do, like the way we raise our kids. Even if she's a full grown adult, it is a never ending job being a father. It's not too late to help her take a better direction.

I’m seeing two attractive women who are married to each other but occasionally want a guy to date them. We always go out all three together and have many laughs and a great time as a throuple. It works for me and doesn’t have the stress of my previous relationships where the sole woman always tried to take over and dictate to me about my life.

[@JuztMuso]

2 friends as in 2 women or 2 men??

[@davew8841]

On the subject of female friends...I agree with you. I couldn't be "just friends" with any woman I'm considerably attracted to. Watching this, I was thinking of one of my few, close friends. We've been friends for nearly a decade....she's an attractive 34 to my 48...but, god!...it gets tiresome when she want's to talk about her work all the time! But....perhaps because this trait doesn't appeal to me at all...I am completely honest with her, and I value her friendship quite dearly, as a result.

[@mattirealm]

Emotional connection is essential and unlocks the door to an amazing physical connection. I have had several very good female friends over the years. And we really were just friends and enjoyed shooting the shit, or even go out and shoot pool together, but nothing else. It is possible and it was completely platonic. At least on my part, and I think most of them as well.

[@DomCOuano]

i think it's silly and immature to argue about men and women being friends. i have plenty of female friends, both single and taken, and if the subject comes up, it just feels like such a childish conversation. yes we are very obviously friends. if one is attracted to the other, we can discuss like adults. if two friends need to spend less time together because it's getting weird or for whatever reason, two adults should be able to discuss and adjust accordingly, especially if they are friends. and it's also just part of reality to see your friends less and less when they get into relationships. they're going to spend more time with their significant other and less time with their other friends. such is life. such is growing up. "being a man" means accepting this. being a real friend means accepting this.

[@jappie3143]

touching down on the point of having female friends, i really believe it can work without having feelings. When i'm stressed out i can have a panic attack, and interesting enough almost always will a female friend calm me down. I think it is their caring character that they want to do this, and my guy friends don't really feel comfortable doing that. And no for the moment i don't have feelings for any of these girls, my eyes are set on another price hehe.

I have female friends but I’m not attracted to any of them. I believe it’s the only way to have a genuine friendship with the opposite sex. My closest female friend is like a sister to me. She has helped me through some severe mental health struggles I’ve had. We’ve known each other for twenty years as we went to Uni (college) together.

[@WeightedCali]

Lol i had that "brother-sister" relationship with a female friend for like 6 years. Ended up realising that if i had a chance with her, i would take it. Ended up blocking her everywhere and never talked to her again. But in my case, i was the one always helping her with her problems. I now feel that i made the right choice.

[@Kal.El1]

@@WeightedCali I hear ya but I’ve never thought of her that way. Ever. She’s happily married with kids & I’m good friends with her husband now too. I say just don’t be friends with a woman you find attractive. Never ends well.

[@omanicc9854]

Couldn't care less. if any man tells me not to have male friends but wants to keep his female friend, I won't be listening. You either ditch yours or I will keep mine.

[@ZenoGoreng]

Some of my best friends are women. But like you said, I’m not attracted to them, so I’m sure that helps. One of ‘em is attracted to me, but she lives a billion miles away and we only communicate through texts/DMs, so that’s never a problem. She’s even helped me with my love issues 😄 To be fair, it is a problem with a female (former) friend I am attracted to. Part of me still wants to be friends with her, cause there’s a reason I fell for her other than being physically attracted to her. But I think it’s very hard to do for both of us, because I’m afraid there will always be another part of me that wishes for more.

[@christianknudsen6831]

To be completely honest I don't like Andrew Tate. But I have to admit that he caters to a significant segment of men in 2022. He is very impressive. In the past I did the Tinder thing - I consider myself fairly good looking and successful, and met a lot of women during that period of my life. I do not regret it, being single at the time, but hookups are nothing compared to a committed loving relationship. I was married and in love for 20 years and it was my everything. My current relationships pale in comparison. Significantly. Loving someone, and being comfortable in that relationships is everything. It can take years to develop that. Casual hookups will never push past the surface. And men and women can't ever just be "friends". And I don't think there should be an opportunity for that when your in a committed relationship. Just my view. Every girl I was ever "friends" with, I was physically attracted to. And that isn't fair if I'm in a relationship.

[@finalfrontier001]

Taking advice from a woman about relationships is like asking a fish your trying to catch in a the river how to catch it.

[@toddjohnson271]

Women aren't either....they are hypergamous. Men are more promiscuous. Monogomy was a sacrificial design by both sexes to have family units and raise children.

[@antoniobrasse7157]

Bottom line, a high value man if he's seeking a committed relationship will seek out a high value woman and not cheat on her. Any man that calls someone his girl publicly and gives her and everyone else the impression that they are exclusive but he's also still sleeping with other women, that is not a high value man regardless of his money or looks. That's probably a narcissist. A high value man that isn't ready for a commitment won't lie to a woman.
