Not one compliment came out of Mr. Biles's mouth during that interview, even when the other guys there gave him hints. Simone deserves better. I don't know when she'll get to the point where she wants better FOR HERSELF. I hope it's before the baby trapping and career derailment.

[@lostangel3852]

The first thing I thought about when I saw this immature boy-man speak about Simone is how consistently we see that women who are abused - as she was by her team physician - do not know THAT THEY CAN DO BETTER than what they are accustomed to. If one has never been treated truly well, never experienced really being accepted, validated, supported & loved, how can one even know what to hold out FOR? Many struggle to do well for themselves in love yet have NO IDEA what it even looks/feels/sounds like in daily life situations. If you have not seen healthy partnership demonstrated you do not have a working compass to follow! So, we make mis steps, stumble, go in the wrong direction, and learn the hard way that THIS is not that (good love). In her case I have so much sympathy because I think that with time the cognitive dissonance of being a world champion outside & being underappreciated in her private life will begin to wear on her. If he doesn't get it & become a better man she may tire of his clownery. I myself had to try many iterations before I became clear about what I have a perfect right to expect. Her learning curve may be faster than many as I expect she can afford a good therapist to guide her. I wish her & her person the best.

[@winehousted90]

All true. Back in college, whenever I would tell my then-boyfriend I aced yet another test/presentation/class/semester, he would roll his eyes and say, "Employers don't care about grades."

[@transitionsnc]

I think Jonathan Owens' game really picked up when he met Simone; she really helped him. I watched the whole (original) podcast and I don't think he gave her much (or any) credit for this. It seemed like he chalked it up to self improvement. I'm sure there was some self improvement on his part but she has been a very big supporter and excellent influence on him.

[@frizkiaputri1079]

but the big question is, how she STILL wants to married him? its like she picked her own POISON. its suicide marriage

[@Cassidy248]

The dynamic of their relationship has been switched. Mr Biles is the gold digger and Simone has all the gold. Simone is operating from her masculine energy, providing for and protecting her husband, mean whilst he is operating from his feminine energy, collecting all the gold that his wife has and benefiting from all the promotion and support that she gives him. He showers himself with compliments such as he is the “prize” and she sits and supports him as he does so, cackling at the “prize” that she won. So in a way, their relationship is a “normal” (heavy on quote “normal”) transactional relationship. Unfortunately though, this violates the natural and biological instincts that both a man and woman have, which is for a man to be the hunter and the woman to be the “catch” or the “hunted” and in the long run it will be unsustainable for them. Simone will long for the compliments and Mr Biles will long to hunt and chase after the woman he really wants. There are some successes, but as time goes on and Simone’s confidence increases like you said it will be suicidal for them both to continue living in this switched dynamic.

Thank you so much for this message, i wish i had only found you earlier. A couple of months ago i was embarrassed because i had a guy I liked and unfortunately it was obvious to the people around me. But he didn't make a move. So I started thinking about taking things into my own hands and asking him out and asking some ppl around me how to do that (because I'm inexperienced). A GREAT MOVIE TO WATCH IS "HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU" which hits on all the points covered in this and her other videos. I felt so embarrassed when I watched it and realized it was obvious he didn't like me, and everyone around us probably knew that. Especially since one guy had tried to get us together. Now I realize my worth and will never put myself in the position to be in such a humiliating situation again ❤

I have few beefs here : 1. Did he really say, that "he was scared to commit after 3 YEARS"?????? 2. How to date succesfully on a dating app, when "men" expect to be texted first by a woman....? 3. I have given up on standard of not texting first as soon as I entered a dating site with rich men, but they didn't reply lmao. I feel so bad for doing that and I feel that I got what I planted - ghosting treatment because a male didn't pick me 🤢🤮 3. If a male that I texted on there, will text me back - how to see if he treats me as a prize or if he does treat himself as one?

A tangent: it seems like love, true love is only available for a select few. It is rare. The ones who get it are just highly blessed because there’s not a way to figure out beforehand who will get it.

[@whymillie]

Nobody gets true love. No such thing. No man will ever give more to a woman than he gives to himself. You do not need Love from men to enjoy them and be in a safe marriage. Anyone who tries to sell you that dream is lying to you. Women are good liars, we promote fake happiness. A woman's job is to ensure she commits to men who has proven themselves and respected your boundaries. Everything else you want to experience is about you and you cultivating it. Men really do not have much to give. They are natural takers. Your job is to have high standard of behaviour that signals you can not be abused or controlled.

This whole situation has been so triggering for me. Like many women I have low self worth because of a narcissist father, and I’ve been an overachiever in soooo many ways. It’s usually things I enjoy so it’s been time n energy well spent but whenever I see a man who triggers my desperation for male attention I start scrambling to be “good enough”. Like having my own business, hobbies, etc etc etc just means nothing all of a sudden. Like who I am and what I bring to the world is nothing. I’ve been contentedly single for over decade while I go to therapy and build friendships and such but I do want to end up with someone someday. I’m so glad to see all this discussion, especially among younger women!!!!
