gyver471 if you watch the whole podcast Rebecca says that a lot of time men are getting hurt and jaded from the baddies that they find themselves most drawn to, but they could save themselves from a lot of heart break and toxic relationships if they were to date a bank teller who’s sweet and cute instead of a baddie. I liked what she said: you can’t expect a woman with a stripper body to also be a Mother Theresa! But I also agree with her that women have unrealistic standards as well. Women can’t think they deserve a top notch, top 10% guy when they don’t have the qualities that those men want most.

Danny 90 exactly. it’s unrealistic to expect a woman who has options from her beauty (stripper body with a pretty face), reputation(mother Theresa), & skills (wife & mother) to pick a man on the lower financial end of her options. those are the women that can pull the top 10% of men. but the average guy feels he deserves a chance with her because he’s a “good guy”. those men are also overlooking women in their league. no different than the average women.

Yes, I agree too! One of things she said that I felt was very important was the idea of getting into a serious relationship/marriage too soon was a bad idea. I then felt a little contradictory with that bc the amount of men that scream out about how women need to be ready and over their traumas quickly so they can procreate with them in their 20s is astounding. Healing for most people isn’t an overnight or 2 yr thing. Your whole 20-30s is about self discovery, let alone trying to heal trauma that happened in your childhood/teen life.

The whole thing she mentioned about females being a 5 having an ego like they are a 9 because a man who is a 9 is willing to sleep with her. That doesn’t mean he is interested in committing to her, especially if he views her as a 5 when he knows he is around a 9.

Much respect to Ms. Pope. She always comes off authentic. And she is full of wisdom. One thing I disagree with is her statement on age. At 30 years old we need to be doing more than "figuring ourselves out". We need to have some things actually figured out. By that age we have a full decade of adulthood under our belts. Plus, women have a biological clock to contend with (assuming they want children). Finally, at some point dating and moving from person to person does more harm than good. You can't keep getting emotionally connected to people and breaking it up just to start all over again. I believe that, like the body, the heart recovers easier when we are younger. As you get older your emotions become more complex. Going from partner to partner just creates more collateral damage emotionally. At 30 you need to know what the hell you're trying to do with relationships and life in general.

Kevin Right I think in certain cultures you can see that more. Those who live a more traditional lifestyle you can see women more mature than men because those women were taught at a very young age how to start taking care of a household. In those same homes, the men are often times babied way past into adulthood. In western cultures, or from what I’ve seen in the US, now a days I feel like women are more childish. I think it’s because here there’s more of an emphasize to remove yourself from the traditional values that these are some of the consequences.

I think it’s fair to say that people should take their time before getting married but for women this should be clarified. Women shouldn’t wait until they are 30 because you have to consider the implied time it’s going take to get to know a person, connect, marry, enjoy each other and procreate if they want. That process takes time and years. So playing until you are 28 and then to start dating with a purpose could put you in a desperate situation. Instant real connections are rare. Dating with a purpose is not a smooth quick process.

This is great stuff. I grew up from a very early age learning to have distrust, contempt, and hatred for girls and women. This came from observing the way my mom acted toward my dad, and the way my older sister bullied me and my younger brother. When my dad talked about mom or women in general, it was always in a negative light - the message being women cannot be trusted , they just want to take from men, etc. These "teachings" were further reinforced by things I saw in school, TV, movies, etc. I had no one to mentor me properly. So, I stayed away from them - didn't look at them, speak to them, or interact with them unless I had to. In my teens, I didn't understand why all the other guys were so keen to chase girls when all they wanted was a guy's money and whatever he could give her. Take, take, take. By age 15 I had psychologically shut down in this department. When I went in the Army at age 18 I had to work with and for females. I had no problem interacting with them professionally - and over time I came to slowly realize women are just people, too. Girls would approach me on occasion since junior high, but because of my lack of social interaction skills I normally was not able to read such verbal and non-verbal cues and I would just be confused as to why some girls was trying to talk to me and I would just shy away and avoid them. Very often girls trying to approach would just make me angry. I had the internal attitude of "you're not getting my fucking money!!" and would be cold and/or rude to make them go away. I never hurt a girl, but I would fantasize about kicking them hard in the chest and slamming them against the wall for having the temerity to try to talk to me. I had been so beaten down as a child by my family and at school that the very concept that a girl could like me was a completely foreign concept. I finally had my first kiss, sex, and girlfriend as a 23yo sergeant - and that was only because she pursued me for months and made all the first moves. I never would have. I had a sparse dating life in my 20s, with dates/sex generally only coming months or years apart and my negative beliefs toward them slowly faded. I finally met my wife at age 28 and married at age 30. My attitude toward women finally made a significant change about 3.5 years ago (at age 45 and 15 years into my marriage) when, out of curiosity, I started watching KZbin and audiobooks on PUA, dating, and social coaches. These caused huge epiphanies on the nature of women and how many opportunities I had missed in my youth, and it much improved my marriage because I finally had an understanding of women. At the same time, I came to the conclusion that I am probably undiagnosed high functioning autism/Asperger's - which accounted for my lifelong serious issues with social interaction, reading verbal and non-verbal cues, making friends and girlfriends, performing in leadership positions, etc. I've been watching and listening to that stuff religiously since and it has made a huge difference both socially and professionally.

@@SundriedStars19 Correct. It was ingrained from an early age, but not deliberately. Those who had influence over this were unaware of the effects of their actions. Now, I also attribute a lot of it to undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder. Aspies/high functioning autistics very often mis-interpret the social actions they see and hear - often in a negative way. Things are taken very literally and often out of context. Childhood teasing is a perfect example - it is interpreted as literal insults and the aspie child reacts very emotionally and negatively to it rather than learning to counter and brush it off. They believe what they are being told about themselves - I certainly did. During my tween and early teen years, my older sister used to tell me things like, "You'll NEVER get a girlfriend!" and "No girl will ever like you!" I took these statements literally. I did not understand this was just sibling teasing. I had the mindset of, "Why would my sister lie about something like that? I must obviously be ugly, stupid, and worthless - so why bother ever even trying to talk to a girl?" I tried once to talk to a girl I liked during a class trip in 9th grade. I didn't realize it at the time, but my interaction was actually very successful, but I felt stupid for even trying and resolved I would never do it again. She tried to come up and talk to me 2-3 times the next couple of months, but I had already psychologically shut down. I didn't understand WHY she was trying to talk to me. It didn't occur to me that she might like me, because I considered myself unlikable. I did not approach a girl for another 10 years - when I was 25 years old - and we were having sex within a couple days of meeting. A similar incident occurred at the end of 10th grade. A cute girl named Robin who sat in front of me in History class told me one day I had beautiful eyes. I didn't understand why she told me this; I didn't understand she was trying to approach me. I didn't know how to react to this so I didn't really say anything. When we got our yearbooks and passed them around for our classmates to sign, I found she had written "Call me!" with her phone number in my yearbook! My social intelligence was so poor and my self-esteem so low, I literally had no idea why she wrote that in there. I pondered it over the summer trying to figure out why she would want ME to call HER. Why would some girl like ME and want me to call? I believed I had nothing to offer any girl, and - just like with the girl in 9th grade - I was DEATHLY afraid of receiving teasing from my family for having a girlfriend. I literally believed that if my mother found out I had a girlfriend I would be shamed and punished - perhaps screamed at, slapped, or whipped with the belt. This is how far off the rails my mental state had become due to the culture in my family. Of course, I never called. I find it laughable when people - particularly feminists and blue-pilled type men - accuse PUAs, dating coaches, etc. as being misogynists. I've never seen men who love women more than PUAs. Seriously. The people who make these accusations are simply admitting their misandry.

I feel like she hit it on the head with how men want someone they don't have to be so "hard" around. That safe place is comforting and I think it goes back to a lot of men's relationships with their moms. The first place most men (not every man because everyone doesn't have that privilege) were able to be vulnerable.

First of all, kudos for being honest about that. Most women will not. I think that feminism has convinced a lot of women that what men look for is bad or wrong and that giving men what they want/need from a woman somehow means that she's weak or oppressed. So a lot of men are frustrated that they're expected to understand and cater to what women want but women taught to not reciprocate.

What you are going through is the various iterations of yourself as you move along the maturation continuum. In your 20s, you are largely at the mercy of your biochemistry and the fact that you haven't lived long enough to really know who you are. Life is just beginning to test you. When you accrue the life experiences that come with years, you will then perform the requisite introspection that will introduce you to your unique self and your "raison d'etre" - your reason for being. Hang in there young fellow, be kind to yourself. Acknowledge your human fallibility without being gratuitous in your judgment of self. And remember that, "there will be no wine before it is time." ✌🏾

Childhood experience is the 1st thing to ask about, because If you will eventually care for them in the future, you don’t want to trigger them, you have to protect them from experiencing it again and want to understand them when they are triggered. Many people you share your childhood experience will use that against you and not stand by you while you fix yourself, so be careful about sharing that too.

I grew up with both of my parents and they stay together and they do love each other however I did not like their relationship. My mom is a nag and my dad is just chill and lets her do basically almost anything. My dad did not teach me how men think at all. But he did leave a good example about how a man is to treat women and present himself and take care of himself. My mother does not take care of herself but she did teach me and showed me how to clean very well and take care of a home and cook. My mother is not nurturing however my father is be or will force himself to have patience in understanding. The missing blanks I had to figure out myself through educating myself. My mom is not very feminine and she even had told me a couple different times that I was too vain when I would be dressing myself up. unfortunately I let that internalize And I only dressed up mostly on nice occasions. The biggest part is dating yourself and loving yourself. it'swhat I had to do. there were times where I accidentally attracted the person that I absolutely wanted in my life but lost them because I was missing the blanks. And they were missing blanks as well. But because I was into them I would encourage them in a way about what was missing However I did not receive the same in return due to the fact they didn't know exactly what it was and how to articulate it to me or they just were playing the game and didn't care enough to tell me and let me fail in that particular area. I am 32 years old and the internal battle that I go through about feeling like I'm a wonderful woman and then turning around and feeling like I'm not desirable is one of the biggest challenges I have to master. attracting an established and stable man is challenging when I don't know where to look and I'm still in practice of learning the things that men value in a woman
