The only dating advice you'll ever need

Video Overview & Insights

Squarespace ▶ http://Squareespace.com/Anna

The idea that becoming happy on your own first is the best advice hints at a deeper recognition that true fulfillment can't be contingent on someone else's presence, and this awareness can help mitigate the cognitive dissonance that often arises from trying to reconcile our own desires with the expectations of others in a relationship. This subtle shift in perspective can be incredibly liberating. It allows individuals to approach relationships from a place of wholeness rather than seeking completion.

women can be themselves because women are the choosers. men are taught by tv & movies to simp and chase which portrays the qualities exactly opposite of what attracts women - pre-existing solid core identity, confidence, and unbothered . therefore, often their "self" as a product of their environment is counterproductive and needs reteaching

I'm not sure Anna... As a young 24 year old man, you literally are not enough (yet) according to many young women. Because young women are higher value in society than young men. When men are 35+ they are waaay more valuable for society than women(economically speaking, being a mother is kinda more important than work).

May sound cliche, but best advice, who wants to have to go to PTA meetings, pretending to be someone else? Sounds exhausting.

Imo, just wait until you are 30 years older because both men and women become more desperate and start to lower their expectations.

This young baby girl's cute and but has got some growing up to do. She 's talking about things that are way over her head, her minds all over the show. Given time she could develop wisdom instead of currently just chattering away. Listen to J Kristnamurti, Urgency of Change and come to do what is most important to understand your gift of life.

i need advice on how to get a date attractive very , well off most prestigious job in the world. I am a bit older - by not that much and have been advised young women like older men. With all said. There are no opportunities here in the USA. 1 young lady left her Bf for me 3 months ago . Short lived and did forgery.. How is it I can find a date, Ever couple I see is young and every one is always the same age here in the ...USA,,,, thats insecurity too me from what I have seen and experienced . A beautiful young woman turned down a handsome very naive established wealthy man for a young same aged guy that was incarcerated for attempted man slaughter and has no money leeching of her, As in Denmark a mandatory age gap of 10 years by law in some village. They don't have hang ups... Is it that bad for her to leave that man for the thug??? or was he possible threatening her.. Personally I get more attention that guys in there 20s.... but every ones stays in there circle never thinking out side the box causing problems in there affairs....if your different that u wont be accepted

You’re lucky you have people to go to about dating at such a young age. I’m 36 and still single and have absolutely nobody to go to for help with it

I don't listen to any music. Anyone up for a date with me? I've found that my potential pool of dates is quite small. Sometimes being yourself is awkward.

thank god someone finally said it, rejection if they don't say maybe or not right now just means move on, next they will start kidnapping people & keep them hostage and pretend they are living happily ever after.

the advise to end all other discution. be yourself. thats it. it not big or glamorus. but its not about the rule. its about you and him/her/they. if you like them tell them, and then spend time together. baam, thats it. last point: we are all diffarent so what works for me might not work for you and you date. so again be youself, and tell them how you feel and ask how they feel or show it :)

Exactly.. I prefer to be authentic and not fake as hell doing some “fake moves”.. it’s really not my thing. I also don’t flirt or do any of that unless I KNOW them. I don’t touch them either.. unless it’s a handshake or quick hug.. but not if I’m first meeting them. I’d rather be myself and get to know them and then me. Just be friendly and don’t think I want to hookup when I just met you.. I don’t do any flirting or any of that unless we’re getting serious or it’s been awhile we’ve been seeing each other.. you know? Best to be yourself bc you want them to like you for YOU and vice versa. I have weird humor and strong opinions on certain matters and issues I care about so… I can’t do that when I’m “fake small talking” with them..

A person that is average doesn't realise that the very attractive individuals are overly commented on and complimented. It's like when they say something
complimentary to you, that they think they are being even a bit original. But the person they are talking to has probably had a similar line 4 or 5 times that day and
endless little observations. Office politics are that people don't say overt things to give you 'the message'. They don't do a hard hit flirt or a 1/2 joke line that's crude.
But they will mention your hair , your clothes and how 'lovely they look' 'How they really suit you because they are so pretty ' or 'I love you hair it really suits you ! BUT
hear this from So many different people in a day. colleagues, people in shops, club and college members. If you are serious about your work and want to get to a point
but the first topic is how pretty YOUR eyes are. It doesn't help. Attractive people get this all day, every day, off everyone . -they don't really like it. The best thing you can
do if you want some chance of meaning something to them is DON'T compliment Don't notice stuff. BE different and over the longer time probably you'll get into their 'hard to
get into' inner circle of friends and then who knows !

So many of us out here, trying to meet the good decent guy, are having a really hard time finding a man. But my older brother – a good guy who got married at 34 – basically told me that feminism freed men even more than it freed women. The woman he married is the same age and they dated for 8 months and knew on the first date that they were right for each other. Most guys just don’t see the need to get married until they’re in their mid-thirties which allows them to build their careers, travel, explore passions for outdoor activities, etc. Same thing I hear from my girlfriends, but at 30+ we know our biological clock is ticking. For the men, at least my brother's single friends, they're fine with meeting a woman in her 30's to start a family with. In their view, a 30-something woman has matured, gained wisdom, and established a career; in other words the feminism worked for them. But while there are plenty of good men in their 30's still around, they are more discerning.
