Different Ways That Women Test Men (AND WHAT TO DO) | Courtney Ryan 

Deleted all social media over a year ago. I feel like 70% of the stuff Courtney talks about wouldn't even need to be addressed if social media never existed.

If a woman I just met insults me, I just smile and walk away. If she thinks that behavior is OK, I want nothing to do with her.

One time I went out on a blind date with a girl at work' We were talking on the phone as she was a supplier for my Company. We got along so well on the phone, that I asked her out. We met at a restaurant and sat down and began to talk before we ordered. She said, I thought you would be taller. I responded, I thought you would be prettier. We never saw each other again. What a shame, two honest people.

I just recently quit talking to this lady. She seemed real interesting, had a good sense of humor, very funny, great at conversating. But after a while she would excessively talk about her ex's and how horrible they treated her and how she never did anything wrong. To me that was a major red flag. I've had bad experiences and I've learned a lot from them based on MY mistakes.

I hate that dating has become a game. I wish it was like it use to be when two people like each other, they both make it known to each other and make the effort to establish a relationship.

if a woman tests you, never get rattled, always remain calm and confident or even better crack a joke

I find it childish when a woman tests you, life is tiresome enough without someone consistently annoying you about the little things that don't matter.

What I have learned over time. Is that the more heart broken a woman has been in her life through past relationships the more she will do these tests. It's a red flag. She comes with a lot of emotional baggage

Tests belong in schools, not in potential relationships. Be up front with your expectations and if it works, it works. If it doesn't, keep it moving amicably

My ex wife of 20 years continously flirted with other men in front of me then just said she was being nice. She's my ex for a reason.

Its strange how social media is the thing that is meant to connect us together more easily but is actually making it more difficult to make connections and is driving us apart as a society.

So here is a test I had to endure on a few occasions. The woman I was trying to date would constantly try to get me to be late for things to prioritise her. For example, I would be on the phone to her and tell her I was playing badminton at say 8pm, I would be on the phone to her around 7pm... Well I would need to leave around 7:45 and usually around 7:43 she would bring up a heavy subject... "It has been a tough day, and I am really struggling...". She made me late a few times before I realised what was going on. I started to predict her doing it, and was right each time. I would be at my work, and messaging each other. I would start by saying I only had 30mins break.. and 27 mins later, she would choose then to tell me about a bereavement she was reminded of that hit her hard... So I was like "yeah that sucks. Gotta go". She eventually broke it off citing that I wasn't "emotionally supportive enough". lol. In my experience, splitting up with someone is tougher than being split up with. Both are horrible, but watching someone cry because they want to be with you... and you don't want to be with them is a worse feeling in my opinion. So when I realised what she was doing, I was delighted when she split up with me. It kinda felt like the trash was taking itself out. I pretended to be a little disappointed, but it was a good day! I didn't miss her one bit.

When a woman test you, she's looking for reasons to leave you not to stay with you.

"Toxic and narrow-minded" can easily describe social media in general, not just the manosphere.

This channel has convinced me that I just need to stay single. Dating and being in a relationship is just too much trouble.

I don’t like when people watch video encouraging them to use these type of toxic behaviors and “tests”. The rest of us have to suffer through it 🤦🏽‍♂️. Just be yourself and establish boundaries. You’d be surprised how fast you get to know someone when you are yourself and set boundaries.

If a woman says jokingly to me, "You don't seem like my type!," I'm gonna to think, I guess you aren't my type either. If a man said that jokingly, he wouldn't be getting a woman that night. I guess, this is why so many women who are in their thirties and forties haven't gotten married yet and if they were stuck in a relationship, it was toxic. Toxicity breeds toxicity.

As a vet with a lot of interrogator friends I always saw the tests coming, especially compliance tests. When I was interested in a lady who did those immature things I usually called them out, literally explain what they are doing. I then state my bar (standards) might be too high for them, indicating that those tests are substandard behaviors. I’m currently married to a beautiful, loving woman who has the same high standards as I, never shit testing each other. We communicate efficiently.

I’m married for 25 years and found this channel. Appreciate the insights. Much of the content is very useful in marriage as much as the dating game. Principles of relationship remain the same and applicable over time. Many of the topics you cover can get lost over the years. This is a good place to go to touch up the sharpness and focus of any relationship, so you don’t take each other for granted.

As a person with aspergers, I never really had a sense of humor as I took things literal. I didn't really understand that I was being tested. I would really go off when girls would say things about my hobbies and interests. But because I have a history of being made fun of for them - and those people were serious, I didn't get the joke. So I guess I often cheated myself out of a good relationship. But thanks to you Courtney, I think I now understand. Where were you all my life?

If a woman told me I wasn’t her type then I would just say, “Okay, have a nice day.” 😂

'Tests' = playing games = goodbye. When you find the 'right person' no tests are needed.

MEN SHOULD TRY A FEW TEstS ON GIRLS: 1) Ask her "If I make you pay for your own share of expenses such as meals and tickets, what would you say to that?" 2) "Are you easily jealous?" 3) What do you think the role of women is in relationship? 4) What do you bring to this relationship? What's your contribution? Put her through these hoops, let her start racking her brains

Hello Courtney: This wasn't really a "test", however, it's something which happened to me a number of years ago. I arranged to go to a movie with a lady and she stood me up. As an excuse she said that her boyfriend didn't want her to spend time with another a guy. My reaction was "What, you already have a boyfriend. This changes everything. It this is what you are like then I don't want to know about you."

The Idea of "testing" someone puts two people on two different levels (testing and being tested) Wich is the opposite of what a healthy relationship should be, because there is no "right or wrong" answer to any of those test. We should only aim to know each other better, and enjoy the trip if we like it the best we can

I dated a girl in college ("Tan") I really liked. We went on a few dates and I thought it went fairly well. My female friends also seemed to think that we were a good couple. We were officially together for about a month when the "crap tests" (CT) started. We dated unofficially for three weeks or so before making it official. Keep in mind this was in the late 1980's (no cell phones) and I had no idea what a "crap test" was. I wish I had known then what I know now... Anyway, things went well for a month. We were not sexually intimate (I'm one of those guys who wants to make sure this is going to work out first; I don't do the 'one night' or 'FWB' thing) yet and I was wondering how serious she was. This was fine with her because she made it clear she is not a "third date girl" and she did not want to get physical until we were sure we were going to be in a long-term relationship. I picked her up for a nice date I planned and we went out of town (only an hour drive) to a nice restaurant and then to hear a band we both liked. The drive to the restaurant was fine (joking around, conversation, usual stuff I expected from her; she had a magical laugh and a very quick wit). During dinner she seemed fine but she began to withdraw. It was kind of like watching a large bank of clouds cover up a sunny day until all that was left was a steel-gray sky, and you realize how it crept up on you. For the last part of dinner, Tan was increasingly distant and almost cold to me (she'd respond when she realized I was cool with just being quiet; I was used to talking with her about anything and I loved that about her). I asked her the usual "is everything okay" and "did something happen" type of questions, and she blew them off with the "I'm fine" and other conversation ending answers. She was quiet on the way back after dinner and the show, and an hour in the car with icy silence is rough. I'd turn on the radio and she'd ask me to turn it down or off; that was all the communication I got from her. I dropped her off at her place and when I stopped, she got out without waiting for me to get her door (something she said she liked, so I did it) and when I got out, she was already unlocking her apartment door. I walked up to her and she smiled sweetly at me, said "goodnight," and closed the door before I got there. I stood there, surprised and not sure how I felt about that, and then went and got back in my car. I was digging around for a tape (late 1980's, remember?) in the console when I looked up and saw her peeking at me through her window. She quickly disappeared behind the curtains when she saw me looking. I drove back to my apartment and told my roommate that the night was a bust. We ran in overlapping circles and I am convinced that Tan was not cheating on me at the time; if so, I would have heard about it. She usually called me in the evenings and we'd talk about whatever for an hour. She never called that night. I tried to call her the next day and she let it go to her machine (before voicemail...late 1980's) even though it was a time of day when I knew she was almost always home. After that, I stopped trying. She called me three days later and my roomie took the message because I had picked up a few extra shifts at work between semesters. He said she wanted me to call her back "quickly" and she "sounded upset." I decided not to call; she knew where I lived. I got word from a friend that she was "pissed off" at me for something and I told him she can "scratch her mad spot" (a phrase I got from a woman I later dated and married; we were just acquaintances at the time). And that was pretty much that. To this day I still have no idea what caused the change over dinner (or if it was some part of some plan of hers). I had no real contact with her but I was cordial when I saw her around campus or town ("hey, what's up?" kind of thing while passing by). I ran into her a year later working at a video store of all places and she had a ring on her left hand. I checked out (she was the only clerk) and I was polite but distant. I saw the ring and said "congratulations" with a friendly smile. She barely responded sufficiently to complete the transaction. I have not seen her since and I learned a lot about (what I now know to be) the crap test from her. I don't recommend that young men put up with crap tests; I think they should just smile and walk away.

The best thing to do is to communicate rather than throwing these tests. Crap tests are a double edge sword. To me personally I rather know a little bit about her and her knowing a little bit of me before throwing the crap tests.

I will always appreciate how Courtney takes these really toxic discussions and transforms them into sensible, wholesome and applicable advice :)

My mom taught me how to be a simp... because it's gentlemanly... but the truth is that she wanted to train me so that she can use me and command me as she sees fit. Guys... remember, even your own mother will train you for her own benefit. Treat women like people... with decency... and no special treatment.

fellas if a girl is giving you all these tests, focus on yourself homie. You can find out if you're compatible by literally just talking and not giving people tests

I have been watching videos like this because my wife had been rapidly progressing down this slope of flirting with other men in front of me while in Italy on vacation… for my birthday or all occasions, and kept taking advantage of my religious convictions when it comes to marriage (I am a Catholic); so these videos have been super helpful in getting myself out of the continued gaslighting I’ve been subjected to for 17 years. Thanks to channels like this I’m more aware now, and took my top 4% earned income, business owner ass someplace else where I’ll be appreciated more. Thank you!

Had a waitress that was hitting on me at a restaurant I used to go to about 2 years ago when travelling for work. She always was the first to come up to me and serve my table, would talk a lot asking about my job, etc.. Then one day she texted her boyfriend to come over to the bar and French kissed him while making eye contact with me. That... doesn't even get under my skin actually. It's so far off the spectrum that I immediately realised I'm dealing with someone fit for clinical treatment and its nothing personal. Because I initially assumed this was a shit test to make me jealous. And I just lost attraction, instantly. I'm not into all that polyamory, voyeurism, exhibitionism, experimental sex, and other narcissistic bullshit. I even lost my appetite as well because of it. I couldn't swallow my food for a few seconds. Its not personal for me either. It just disgusts me on a visceral level. Probably a similar reaction to your average person if they had witnessed bestiality. It's a reflex you can't really help. I didn't go back there again. Even though there was another waitress that seemed kind of nice but always got pushed out of the way by this other one so never served my table. I prefer to eat my food in peace. It's what I went there for in the first place.

The "congruency test" is one we should be doing in the other way too... Is like pay attention to the actions and not what they say

Thanks for your honest approach to relationships...finally a realistic, respectful voice of reason in the Jungle! Manipulation has no place in the affairs of the Heart....

When it comes to testing your relationships and testing your potential mates, word of advice don't do it. If you do, you are sabotaging any potential relationship you might have or currently in. Plus it can come across, that you are a passive aggressive communicator to the other person. Just have a honest conversation with the other person, and if your not attracted to them after that then move on. If you are, invite them out at a later date. Any relationship is going to get tested threw natural conflict. Testing your relationship or a potential one with someone is bringing unnecessary conflict into it, damaging it in the long run. One other thing, let your relationships develop naturally and don't rush in to them. It will be disastrous for both parties involved.

Countney, it's been two weeks since I found your channel, but to tell you the truth I'm completely bewildered by your personality. You're a girl with a really high character. Congratulations, I wouldn't believe such a woman existed.

The only games I like playing are scrabble, cards, horseshoes... I have no time to waste on an individual who likes play mind games. I'm just too busy and respect myself too much to put up with childish poop.

If she tests. She's gone. No time in my life for people like that.

Being a person of integrity may not be complex, but it's not easy either.

I love your novel approach to the TESTS. It’s a much better perspective than the ones in the social media articles. Thank you clarifying this subject.

If she needs to test you, that shows insecurity, dishonesty and lack of understanding on her part.

With all these tests and efforts going around (when it comes to current relationships), I wonder if it remains anything to enjoy after all this. These cringey games will be the end of everything.

This video brought up SO much stuff from my past relationship. My ex-would test EVERYTHING about me whenever she could. I found out later on that she enjoys destroying relationships, and would always test me, all the time. the saying "NO" to things and "look after my kids" (Her SISTER'S kids, mind you) and saying what the other person wants to hear stood out too me the most. Good Advice !

How to win every test they throw at you? On a personal level, can't vouch for others (there is not one truth), five letters MGTOW, I walked away from it all and focused on developing myself for no one else but myself. And as a result of that the last three years of my life have been the best yet. Physical, financial, emotional. Turning my back towards relationships, dating, meeting up, honestly has been the best decision I made in my life. Not saying it will work for you, just telling what worked for me.

"we don't have time for these games" 😂 that's pretty much the summary of this channel in the best way. As long as you're considerate, you don't need to worry. Always be growing, yes, but people being crazy is on them, not you.

All the red pill and similar stuff has always felt like taking a few sound concepts rooted in psychology and then adding on a whole bunch of crazy and weird to stand out and get attention for more views or to sell a product/program. Hence why there's a lot of stuff you can see where these guys are coming from mixed with a lot of "What did I just read/hear?" A lot of guys, especially more anxious and/or introverted ones, would love to have some sort of foolproof set of instructions to win over women and spare them the pain of rejection so there's a big audience for this stuff. In reality, a lot of these aren't women a reasonable guy would want to win over.

I actually don't know what the idiom "run for the hills" means, but the way she says it each time in this video, i just love it and instantly get the image of me going to the himalayas.

With the compliance thing…I was recently having breakfast in a hotel (where she was staying, I’d just joined her for breakfast) with a Russian girl I was interested in, and we’d both finished. She asked me to go and get her a croissant (they were free). My first thought was “get it yourself”, because I don’t think that’s the kind of thing a woman (or man) would ask in the West, when she could get it herself just as easily. But I thought maybe there’s a cultural difference there, and I didn’t want to rock the boat over something minor, so I grabbed her the croissant while getting myself a drink, so I didn’t seem like I was just fetching and carrying for her (good thinking, Batman!) I later spoke to a Russian friend who said that that kind of thing, ie men fetching and carrying for women, does go on in Russia, especially amongst more old fashioned people. So I think I probably made the right choice.

You are so right! I ran “for the hills!” Now I’m single, and relieved. Happily single. 😎

Thank you so much for your videos. I must say, lately, you are much more comfortable talking on camera which I really like and it takes away a lot of unnecessary disruption and helps the concentration while watching.

Watching this young smart woman has restored my faith in women that there are still good ones out there ! Thanks for the advice !

I really appreciate the way you've been in that video Courtney. You seem to have a deep understanding of the male and female psyche. That's great. And you are a gentle, sensitive and very special lady.

I feel all women (and men) should receive education about female psychology, so they would better understand themselves. They would also become more aware of their illogical behavior and adjust accordingly. Or at a minimum men would be better prepared to engage with a creature so different from themselves.

Hello Courtney, finally all caught up on your videos. Thanks for preparing us for these tests and have a good day.

ive seen your videos from day 1. thank you for staying relevant and posting more!

I am so guilty of number 1. When I first met this woman (online) before I developed any romantic feelings for her (which I did after we got to know each other; but before I even saw her); we would flirt, banter, tease, argue/debate (nicely of course), etc. But as soon as I developed feelings for her, my demeanor, or approach completely changed. I put her on a pedestal, would always agree with her, became a "cheerleader' (her words - which ticked her off to no end; or she would tell me things like, "I DON'T WANT a girlfriend!", "I loved how we used to talk.", etc). But for some unknown reason I became a SIMP. Even though when we first met we got along great, talked about a lot of things, and not just "general, everyday" topics. I had confidence, there was definitely chemistry, etc. I don't know if it's a built in sabotage gene that some men have where once you develop feelings for someone you think you need to become Mr. Boy Scout.

These “sh*t tests” are less formal than how I would go about figuring out my compatibility with people. I prefer asking questions just like an interview. I’ll ask my questions which correlate to my values as that’s how I’m more comfortable instead of setting up a series of tests.

Lots of respect to you for addressing this, a lot of women would actually deny that this even happens 🙌 Idk about the fitness test though.. shouldn't it be deemed unattractive if a woman openly says "you're too short" etc when you go up to her? Why would a guy want to put up with that? Even if it is a joke, is it even cool to joke about something like that?

I wish I could have a chat with you that is purely friendly and just to discuss this topics. I have spent years learning about this and from personal relationships I had I understand what it’s really about. Some of this stuff is just the red flags I look for. I’m a single man and I have got to be careful on any potential relationships. I love your perspective and if I could help explain it rationally and in a more polite way. I’m so ready to meet an intelligent woman that’s worth my time. I’m older now and I know what I’m looking for but will never settle again just because I’m desperate. Thanks for making this video and I have ideas about ways to help all people with this kind of discussion. 🙏

Really appreciate your take, Courtney. I think people test because they don't feel safe being straight forward. In the environment I grew up in (asian american family from Taiwan/China), you were straight forward with your words and intentions or you demonstrated to the person in front of you were a coward and had no principles; we only loosened up after we got to know each other over time.

Great content. Your delivery is clear concise and honest.

This topic’s been on my mind for a minute now, thanks for bringing it up Courtney.

My favourite test was the "What am I thinking about?" I would always tell them what I wanted to do to them in a sexual way, or if they perform certain sexual acts, or what they looked naked. They asked and I told them...truthfully. They stopped asking.

Love your videos. Great advice and insight.

Great video as always, Courtney. Here's my two cents: Honestly, I resent the whole concept of "tests". If it's one-sided, it implies that the person testing you is higher than you in some hierarchy. The way it is with teachers, employers, higher-ups. And if it's two-sided, it turns the whole relationship into a game of Among Us for two. Personally I believe relationships should have mutual respect as one of their core tenets and secretly or not so secretly testing partners undermines that respect. Why even be in a relationship if you're going to need to test them from the get-go? It's one thing to be wary, but to make your partner jump through hoops to prove themselves to you - I'm sorry, who are you that I have to prove myself to you? I've been lucky to find a partner with whom the process of determining how compatible we are doesn't need any shit tests. We're just honest and open with each other about what we want and what we're ready to give. And we have at least some basic level of trust in both each other and one's own ability to select a partner. There's something I remember from school - there are teachers who grade from (converted to US system) A to F (have high expectations) and there are those who grade from F to A (have terrible expectations at first). Now, the former group of teachers tended to be more relaxed and while not everyone would get a straight A easily, people were more motivated to get good grades. The more critical teachers rarely had a kid in heir class raising above a C or B and just brought down the mood with their "F until proven otherwise" attitude. And while at school you shouldn't expect to pass with zero effort, I find such an attitude (of the ever suspicious teacher, I mean) in relationships disrespectful. Like, of course you shouldn't tolerate bad or lacking behavior from a partner, but don't start with the expectation that it is already pre-determined to happen and you're just laying traps and conducting tests to catch them in the act.

Best/healthiest advice/guidance on the internet! Thank you Courtney!

The thing is if you have suffered narcissistic abuse and say they are joking but really mean to harm you and your self esteem. That's why it's hard for some to accept that you say it's a joke when jokes in the past emotionally compromised. But I guess everything changes with time and i guess it's all about context.

Courtney seems so sweet and reasonable. I love that she's against the manipulation techniques. Combine that with being physically attractive and her cute voice, where can I find a woman like that? Some of these test questions, whether he passes or not, will long be remembered by the man I don't think any form of verbal manipulation or testing is required.

Courtney, I'm impressed simply by the number of comment replies you've made. Holy moly. You're putting in the work to build your channel by fostering connections and that's the greatest sign, next to delivering valued content, that your channel will thrive.

When a woman tests me, I use her test on her and see how she reacts. If she doesn't like it, I'll ask her why she did it to me.

You are so freaking pretty Courtney and I need to learn from you because your gentleness and soft speaking is beautiful and calming and I need to learn to acquire that in me as a 28 year old single female. I watch your videos honestly more to learn about HOW TO FIX MYSELF rather than the actual topic! haha 💖

I got that famous "sorry... I've been busy" line after 3 days of no text, no answer calls. But almost every bullet point Courtney laid out had led up to this famous line. Glad I saw it for what it was, just wish I would have seen it sooner.

I love these techniques. They encourage stupid, manipulative people to come together. Then it’s way easier to see who to avoid.

Being able to take a joke is literally the biggest thing I feel like, after all you are suppose to have fun! Goofing around with someone you like is really awesome.

Like always, great info great video Courtney.

My Ex-fiance used to put me through some of these "tests". Finally had enough and dumped her narcissistic ass. Ghosted her for about 8-9 months and would not take her calls. I was considered a "nice" guy back then, but even I can only take so much of these stupid games. Married to my current wife for 25 years now. She's been nothing but respectful to me from the beginning. I don't play games with her, she does not play games with me.

9:39 "Being a guy who can take a freaking joke" Yeah, and then, on the opposite side, girls be mad if you make a joke yourself. We must be the one who make them laugh but then they can't take it and start calling you a jerk, sexist, or feel so attacked that they take out the whole "Indipendent, strong woman" thing. Let the jokes be jokes

How about instead of them constantly testing us, they actually act like normal humans for once with integrity?

thank you for all the advise, Courtney, listening to you is like having a female friend, that I never had. Thank you. By the way, what you said about women testing men, it is interesting. We as men know that even our mothers have tested us in that way. Or, at least, I have talked to several friends and they all had experienced that as well. So I guess it goes beyond being a potential partner.

12:11 I love the way you described being the dominant man (not aggressive like you said). As a man, when you take the lead you shouldn't see her as a subordinate, but as a partner. You value her input and take it into account when making a decision. As a leading man you should be the column of strength she can rely on and trust. And, sometimes in life is all the way around. She's the one who going to give you the strength to go on. Would you call that weak? I think NOT. Just because she's not the dominant partner it doesn't mean she's weak. It just means she's part of the team.

Really apprciate you just cutting through all the crap with this one Courtney. Great video for men and women to pay attention to with the message be a mature adult rather than a child playing games.

I really hope you’re right Courtney. A lot of us are jaded and super cautious at this point.

That is a lot of information to take in. I may have to watch this video again. Thanks Courtney.

One of the main things I do is just ask for women about how many long term relationships they’ve been in and how long they’ve lasted. A girl that has always been in a long term relationship normally is psychologically a lot more healthy than someone who jumps from partner to partner.

Courtney, your channel has helped me grow a lot. My last relationship damaged my trust in all women. She cheated on me while I was deployed and that happened to over half my unit. Your videos have helped me become open again and less cynical. Thank you.

Ah another wonderful upload by my favorite ASMR artist

I really like your demeanor, and your presentation of information, you rock!!!

Things I've learned in life, and this doesn't just apply to relationships. This applies to everyone you come in contact with. I understand that we should be able to take a joke, but at the same time.. what we tolerate teaches people how to respect us. I've had friendships in the past that I've ended where the basis of that friendship was always being the butt of that person's joke. Same goes with relationships, where I was with someone who always presented me... talked about me with her friends as if I'm nothing more than a joke. So, I don't tolerate a lot of jokes about me anymore. It's not cute. I'd rather have people walk on eggshells around me than be the laughing stock of the group.

The dominance test is an interesting one. It actually is a great trait, to have from a guy's standpoint. From what I have seen, a lot of women fall for the, "Badass", or the, "Player", because of this trait. They show they are flattering, but in control. The difference with the good guy in respect to the dominance test is he is just being masculine, making wise decisions, and giving a clear direction with everything going on amongst you and the lady, in decisions, etc, whereas, the Badass and player, over time, reveal that their true colors are just to use this trait to control you.

As an 18 yr old male I am afraid I will have a hard time getting a women because it's not them who will test me but it will be they who will be flinged out of option on basis of my standards of a prestine feminine women when I am accomplished enough. Courtney it's nice of you to encourage women to be good humans and practice their true beautiful nature.

A tremendous Courtney, really love and approve this video. Helped me more than any dating videos out there

Like all of your videos, great delivery and content!

When she says don't worry about him were just friends and then found them together in bed. Testing my reaction to that isn't a good impression for me or anybody. Such a turnoff.

Courtney, I think it's only a matter of time before you have millions of subscribers. You are so classy, sensible, honest....the list goes on. Brilliant video! I always just be myself, don't play games, be honest, etc, but the reality is lots of people (women and men) will play foolish games. It's only smart, classy women like you who don't play games.

So, several years ago I became obsessed with RU-vid videos featuring pick up artists (like 33 Secrets, and others...). My interest was less about improving my game and more about the applied psychology inherent in the videos. They were fascinating. Some were absurd. Some were toxic. Some were intriguing. But all were informative. If you ever read this comment, Courtney, I would love to see your reaction to some these videos. I love your content. You are both beautiful and wise. Keep up the good work. 👍

Just have self-respect, integrity, and confidence, and the rest takes care of itself. One can sense what is reasonable, and what isn't. Usually women *won't* even do any of these silly things if you do, because *she* doesn't want to lose *you.*

I can tell you with God as witness there is one core ingredient that absolutely must be in all of this. The master key is indifference.

Really appreciate a humble person helping us out, but this is all too conscious for me. Dating wasn't this complicated when I met my ex in 2013. Single now and looking for someone to add to my life for the long-term, and it's too much. Feeling doomed to singledom. So, I'm just going to be myself. I know I have what it takes and why my previous relationships failed. Key is not to be pushy, be kind, don't be a pushover and know what you want. Good luck, all. Keep trying.
