Loved your commentary at the end. Masculine and feminine energy should work together in harmony. I think because men and women don’t embrace those energies is partially why our modern society is so screwed up.

[@g.banderas1242]

Agreed 🤔✌

[@howmathematicianscreatemat9226]

yes, you made an awesome point. Most men think that if a woman is "confident", it means that she wants to dominate the realtionship fully. The OPPOSITE is true. It means she has embraced what she is; a LADY, someone who RECEIVES masculine energy and reacts to it in a feminine way. Confident lady means she is unapologetic to society that she loves feminine and loves to receive the rock solid energy from the masculine without constantly triying to undermine the man´s true qualities.

[@paryanindoeur]

My take: Some men, especially younger men, often mistake being mean or insulting with being 'direct'. Unless the person is 'under' you in a formal hierarchy, the need to 'put someone in his or her place' is a sign of weakness, not strength. Emotional security -- not being bothered by what other people do -- is the method AND the goal. A good way to practice this approach is 'not being offended' by anything. Nothing is a threat, unless it is a threat. Also, there is no need to 'match' a bully with bullying. Bullies are dysfunctional , and unless you're in prison, you have nothing to gain, and a lot to lose, by matching their tactics.

[@Front-Toward-Enemy]

The reason why men say “don’t ask a fish how to fish” in regards to getting advice from women is because women don’t know what they want. It’s been scientifically proven that what a woman says she is attracted to and what her body is attracted to are often two totally different things.

[@zeus-ow8li]

Agree, also attraction for a lot of people works at a subconscious level. Have you ever heard anyone say 'I'm attracted to people I need to rescue', yet time after time they date people that need rescuing.

What it tries to say is to ask the person that has expirience doingvwhat you want to accomplish, for example i woukd ask other ude or alesbian how to flirt with girls just because they do what i want to achieve and i think is the same way the other way around.

I had issues, in past relationships, of not being very direct, on top of being indecisive. It wasn't until conversations I had with an ex girlfriend's friend telling me why her friend was no longer interested in me that I had to change my behavior. Part of it was I lacked confidence. It wasn't until I started putting myself in leadership roles and taking the initiative in my life that things begin to change. One experience was when my Karate instructor asked me to help teach some of the classes since I was an advance student. That's when I gained my confidence in the ability to make decisions and be more direct. It took a long time but I eventually became more confident.

[@Nah-ah]

Love this! I’m, in some situations, in my relationship, direct. My husband has always said to me, “speak your mind. Say what you mean!” I can understand women not wanting to sound like they’re being too this or that when they say for example, as you said “I’m cold” hinting to either get your partner’s jacket or turn the AC down. I can so understand that! So bc I’m older and I’ve been in a relationship for 17 yrs, I personally found, I can speak directly. Perhaps that came with age? 🤔 You can be very feminine and say, “I’m cold, can I pls have your jacket or turn the AC down, I’m freezing?” You’re not being pushy or too much, and I’m sure for most guys they have an instinct to help a girl out! I love how men are direct, I personally find it very sexy!!! 😁 Loved this video… and love your content, keep it up, Sistah!💗

[@marcuslorenzo9705]

You brought up a major point that many men see "Feminine Energy" as weak. If people acknowledge that there is power in both, and one is not "stronger" than the other, there will be more tolerance between the genders. There are pros and cons to everything - a common issue for "Feminine Energy" it may be decisiveness, for "Masculine Energy" it might be aggressiveness - but there are so many men who are indecisive as well. If we approach people understanding to "balance" the social dynamic (regardless of gender) and not control it, we might just become more attractive humans overall.

[@EhurtAfy]

@@tomcarrow Women need a man who can provide more resources than she could alone; she can nag the man to get a better job or just mooch off his existing resources. A relationship is like wringing the water out of a sponge, except the water is a man's resources and women squeeze very hard. It's just the way things are and I don't think women are malicious, just there would be no incentive for a woman to have a relationship if she isn't getting more than she gives.

[@victherocker]

@@EhurtAfy I disagree. And I wouldn't just talk about good man or good woman alone but good, healthy couple/relationship. It's where a woman should be able to make her own independent living and so can a man. And if so what's good for both if they can totally support themselves? That's when it comes to WANTING a life partner, someone who can be there for us and support us mentally, emotionally, spiritually, you name it, and not just NEEDING a life partner. It's totally achievable and doesn't have to go the way you describe. Both can be giving and receiving exactly what one needs without resources and money always getting involved. Even though we're social animals, we should learn to live alone and support ourselves alone. When we achieve that, we can then move on and support and cherish others without being needy. If my woman desperately depends on me as if she can't live without me then honestly, I don't want her, because she's just gonna suck the life out of me.

"I'm cold" is _extremely annoying._ It may be "cute" the first couple of times, because the guy gets to "protect" or "rescue" the girl early on, but guys don't want a helpless woman. I would get so tired of my wife telling me this, *_especially_* when she was told/reminded it was going to be cold before we left. I would tell her to take her jacket and she wouldn't, then we'd be walking and she'd tell me she was cold. I would reply with "You should have brought your jacket like I told you." I could tell the rising heat in her face kept her warm. (Ha ha! j/k - She wasn't happy with me then.) On the plus side, she'll take her jacket and I'll put my arm around her. Thanks for the video!

Yes absolutely agree with you. I don't what you thought process on the ying and Yang of this mentioned. But I'm instructor of tai chi and our best is go softly.

We all share these qualities and it's how we use them in our daily life. I'm a strong man but aggressive it took me many years to learn this and found it so useful. Softness is the way to go 💖. Macho guys don't get for its a great process to for well being 👍🧜‍♀️. I've learned many styles of martial arts but tai chi..brings out the softness or feminine side of people you learn to be more in touch with your feelings and become more compassionate. It's not easy 🤔. I have studied over 30yrs and many styles, but softness or being able to change oneself can help you be s more calm person of one self. Yes absolutely it takes dedication willing to practice. But I have found that women have this innate ability to help you. Thank you sharing this vide.

Most of what I saw here were demonstrations of why I pay no attention to animated videos narrated by AI voices. Most of them are memes, not information sources, and don't give good information. Besides that, if a guy doesn't have the courage to at least use his own voice when giving advice, much less show his face in the video, then why should I listen to him? I'd much rather hear it from you, Courtney. You're genuine, and your corrections and clarifications are informative and helpful.

[@marksmith4892]

I think the point of the "don't ask a fish how to fish" is that women tend to give answers that put them in a good light, not answers that are the reality of what they actually want. Women are hyper concerned with image and beauty and so on so it is expected they would not give truthful answers. Women will give SOME truthful answers but not all so why seek counsel from someone who will mix truth with lies when you can go to other sources, like this one, that give you the straight skinny? By the way, another opinion I'd like to share is that while I find these videos to be of significant benefit, I think they are not always correct at all times. In fact Courtney might not even dispute this point. For example, there was another video she posted advising various things to put around the house like a sound system even if small or a plant and other assorted items MOST women would appreciate, but not all women are going to be impressed by these things. So it's a matter of comparing advice against context and circumstances and personalities. In my opinion though, of the videos I've seen on this channel so far, something like 9 times out of 10 you're going to strike a bullseye with her advice.

[@albertgaspar627]

not to mention, i've met plenty of women who had no clue of why they did what they did. and in this video, the hostess mentions she never even thought about how she doesn't directly ask her own boyfriend to take care of her feeling cold. so she isn't even aware of what she's trying to accomplish when she fails to speak directly to someone she should feel comfortable speaking directly to. and you'd expect a healthy relationship to have that direct communication.

Nah she’s right though. Plants show you care about your space and want life in it and to keep the air clean. A speaker is for sex... so you can play music when she’s comes by. Trust me, the speaker works every time, just know what music she likes first ;)

[@ethosterros9430]

This isnt the straight skinny. If shes attracted u can say whatever u want without consequence if shes not attracted shed rather u not speak to her at all. Game is about maintaining what is already there, not making money grow on trees. Thats why the dudes most successful at "game" and "social" are physically more attractive. They can be delusional spergs but more women are attracted to them therefore they assume they have good game. Has nothing to do with who they are or their actions because the attraction has nothing to do with those things its all superficial layer. Just ask this chick to show her boyfriend off and its plain as day.

[@marksmith4892]

@@ethosterros9430 I think there is an element of truth to what you say. MOST people in my observation tend to hook up with others who are at their same or similar level of physical attractiveness. However I also observe that this is not universally true. There are many times I see beautiful women hooking up with very average looking guys because he offers certain things she really wants. (No I don't mean money although that kind of dysfunctional relationship obviously exists.) Also what Courtney said rings true that she has met guys who looked like greed gods but turned them down 'cause their personalities sucked. I think the male analog of that resonates true as well. Sure a bimbo airhead is fun to date and have sex with but would you want to marry that girl? Not unless you're stupid. Somewhat above average looks but with a brain is a MUCH better deal long term.

They seem great! Very different than anything I typically watch

[@JoeJ-8282]

Yes, definitely! Seeing and hearing about YOUR personal interpretation and understanding of "masculine" and "feminine" energies, and the differences (and even any similarities) that you believe they have between them, would definitely be a VERY interesting video, IMHO!... And I wouldn't ask that opinion or interpretation from every or just any "average" or "typical" woman, (if there even is such a thing as that), because most women do not really seem to know or understand those differences, but YOU Courtney, seem to be one of a relatively small percentage of women who actually DO have a decent grasp of the male/female dynamic, kind of like Alexander Grace does as a guy; very balanced, multilevel, and multidimensional overall, like you can see it from all different angles, and not be too biased in one way or another... So since YOU have such a good head on your shoulders, with a very good, comprehensively understanding, and truly knowledgeable mind, then I think YOUR personal take on those differences would be a quite beneficial thing for us all to see!... I look forward to watching and listening to you in that video if you ever DO decide to do it!... Keep up your great work, it's always very informative and even inspiring! :)

[@munkeefinkelbeen5395]

All fair points! I've got a lot of female cousins (more female than male), and grew up around indirect speech (as my brother calls it, "woman speak"), so it's something I've always understood, but occasionally miss cues on. Great idea for a reaction video, and I love your takes on the subject. Have a wonderful day :)

[@rnav5570]

Thank you for pointing it out at the beginning, every time I hear the phrase "A fish can never teach you how to fish, you have to be taught by a fisherman" I get sick. Fish don't want to be caught, however, women do want to be attracted to a man.

[@scasey1960]

Yes, never listen to dating advice from women.

[@shawn4110]

A woman wants to be attractive to an attractive man. That is not the same as a woman wanting to be attracted to any specific man, nor all men generally. The reason people say that you can't listen to a fish to learn how to catch fish, is because the fish doesn't want to be caught by the fisherman. So also, do women not want to be caught by most men, just the best men. The restaurant example here is a perfect reflection of that. 'If the waitress is attracted you, it doesn't matter how you said the order'. If that man did ask the woman why she was not attracted to him, she would not say 'Because I think you are ugly'. It would be 'I don't date customers', even if she 100% would date an attractive customer. I don't personally think that women give very good dating advice because, as Courtney said here, 'She is being nice because she doesn't want to hurt your feelings'. Hence she cannot say that being tall, being successful, being highly educated, being highly respected among your peers, being physically attractive' since these things are either completely outside of a man's control, or in a competitive market, guaranteed to exclude some portion of men. (i.e. you could work out and be more attractive, but someone else with better genes will always be more attractive given the same level of effort and you can't work out your face muscles to start looking like Chris Hemsworth). So instead, they will focus on personality traits that are largely within your control or the small parts that are in your control (working out is better than not working out; even though you might just end up looking like jacked carrot top; still ugly, but not fat. Which is "better" than ugly and fat). The real answer for women is the combination of the above traits, plus, the personality traits like being caring, being driven, having goals, etc. If you imagine that the dating advice women give to men is directed at attractive men, it's great advice. If you want advice on how to be attractive in the first place, you will instead get advice that leaves out anything that will hurt your feelings 9/10 times. That's not 'bad advice', it's inferior advice compared to direct and honest advice.

[@baalzamon3593]

Yeah, women don't want to appear shallow or greedy. They're not likely to tell you they want hot, successful men. Women don't want to appear cruel either. So they dance around their rejections. Truth is that listening to women say what they want will leave you in the dark.

[@kriskuhn4687]

A lot women want to lead men on. And just like this video states they don’t tell you directly what they want it’s like a game you got to figure it out or should I say like “fishing”. She even admitted she does this.

@@shawn4110 Wow! Great comment. Lots of good, valuable truths there. I could not have said it any better myself. I agree, Courtney’s advice is baloney at best, most of the time.

Courtney makes more sense than the "Far from Average" joker. I love the way she emphasizes the importance of self-confidence with respect. If you put on some alpha act, women will see through it every time. Real men do not put on acts. And they respect women as a priority.

[@joeydoherty368]

I agree this guy has a shitty channel with a lot of poorly made up concepts. Women don’t need to be a priority though unless you’re looking for something long term. If it’s purely sexual attraction, they won’t want a guy who over values them. That said, good luck if you’re planning on having a long lasting relationship with a woman who does not feel the most important thing in your life.

Ah yes- I've lately drifted away from Far From Average. Despite nice pictures and a voice-over that talks as if it's expert, I find the advice very hit and miss. My own comment from a year ago on the video in question was "I'd be wary about expecting this dominance act to work on guys in the same way. I've had some try to use it on me and it pisses me off, my first thought being: 'Who the heck put you in charge?'" And its most popular comment of all rubbished it thusly: Balys goes up to his crush trying to act cool and all Crush: -What's up? Me: - YES, I'LL TAKE THE CHICKEN ALFREDO 8.2K likes

[@9usuck0]

That's funny, if my lady tells me "she's cold" I act jokingly dismissive. "Oh that sucks, I'm pretty good in my jacket.". Make her ask for what she wants. But this isn't advice, I am probably an a$$hole more than not.

[@SharkAcademy]

Lol, yea, that’s kind of asshole, not the part about not giving her your jacket but your comment. If I’m cold myself and I’m not even feeling her l’ll be like, “I am too”, or “I have this jacket and I’m still cold, let’s go someplace warmer.”

Fun fact: you can be confident, and direct and still ask questions. If you always say “I want” that isn’t presenting the option of no because you never asked. As someone who came from a relationship where the person always said “they wanted” something and that “I needed” to do something. It made me feel like I had to do it even though I shouldn’t have. The best thing to do for me is to ask but be direct while asking. Not saying that you are cold, but asking “May I please have a Jacket?” It makes me understand what they want while still having that option of saying “ I am really cold myself”

Females who appear in forums such as Fresh and Fit and Kevin Samuels frequently get offended by being called a girl, and demand that you call them a woman. Courtney is truly the real woman in these examples because she still values being a girl as well. Courtney’s power comes from her femininity where as those other girls try to pretend power through their feminism.

Never Takes Dating Advice From A Women ✌🏻

[@misterl0gic]

I know a guy who dumped a chick because she used to be fat. He thought: 1. She'd regain weight at some point 2. It was likely that their kids would be fat also. So, it kinda matters. I'm into fatties and I really dig the chicks who used to be thin. It doesn't turn me off. I guess I'm his total opposite, but I do dig the chicks who always were fat too. I think the style and ego that some chicks can have while thin can carry over post-weight gain, and that's the type of mindset that gels well with a ton of curves.. to me, that is.

[@mikesgamelab6369]

When I started learning about seduction, I kinda picked up the idea that women like what I can only describe as “aggression”. Assertiveness, ability to take control, being persuasive, straightforward communication, taking initiative, and so on. These are all basically aggressive things. I think the key is knowing that women develop a taste for aggression, not to mention that going overboard will indeed land you in some bad situations. I wish I had a better word than “aggression” to describe these qualities, but I don’t. As for me, I’m pretty straightforward, but I don’t trust people who always seem so sure of themselves. That kind of “confidence” is merely a façade. So I prefer not to speak in many certainties. I’d much rather be accurate than attractive.

[@johnwayne2103]
