    He has a point. I am a teacher, and I have worked with many challenging students in my years. One day I changed the students' desks around, and I unintentionally sat a boy, who was challenging, next to a hard-working girl that he had a crush on. I didn't realize I did this. The boy's behavior changed immediately. He started focusing and completing his assignments. This was 4th grade. I was shocked by this.

    its never good to idealize someone. its a mistake that both men and women do. and it's a road to disappointment. thats for sure.

    100% True, I literally made myself ask a woman out knowing I'd get a no just to get over the fear of it. That helped me get more confident in finding the right person through personality and not the looks. I'm now with my bestfriend.
  • I am a fiction writer and watching this video is very helpful in writing realistic male characters. I'm grateful for this! 🤩

    Him: voice trembles while coughing but keeps talking Me: Its okay. Take a little break.

    It is amazing to me how consistent he is. 10 to 15 years later, and the ideas are almost identical. That’s how eternal wisdom works.
  • Yes, I was paralyzed by the image of an ideal woman some 5 years back. When I saw her in my office, I couldn't help but admire that woman. She was hardworking, dedicated, nice personality and had a beautiful body. I was dumbstruck by her presence. Never got the courage to speak to her out of fear of getting rejected.
  • "You can be the ripest most juicy peach and if they don't like peaches it won't matter". < That was a quote I saw when I was younger and it totally gave me confidence to be myself. Better to be yourself upfront and find someone who likes you for who you are and vice versa.

    Many of us women have plenty of flaws. We fear rejection from men as well.

    As a woman, I have been paralyzed by my fear of rejection by my idea of an ideal man.
  • It is crazy how we women been obsessed with the idea of love keep us from seeing the amount of power and influence we have on men. this was a nice reminder women are not week because they are emotional like society lead us to believe ... men are as much terrified and excited because of us as we are because of them . Ps I think his point also serves women also who idealize love and man because of romance novels and romcoms

    To all of you man haters and woman haters out there, GOOD MEN DESERVE GOOD WOMEN, GOOD WOMEN DESERVE GOOD MEN, it's simple as that

    I think that goes both way for any gender. We idealize our partners to the point we don’t see a person or a human in front of us but an idealized dream. You can’t date a dream. You got to meet people where they are and think outside of yourself and consider their side. We are all humans and we all have fears. Rejection is paralyzingly to everyone not just men.
  • Biggest fault of men, seeing a woman and thinking she is the dream woman. That creates pressure. No, she is an absolut average woman at first sight. She has to prove through dating, if she is your dream woman, that transfers the pressure to her or at least away from you. And if you fall in love with her, than she becomes the dream woman.

    I love these older clips. I would pay good money to get into his class
  • It’s easy to be attracted to someone who is physically attractive but looks fade (hopefully gracefully) and then what do you have? You really do have to have fundamental things in common and have deep conversations and actually enjoy talking to each other and that makes for a true partner in life. If you base the relationship solely on looks or money then when you are down and need someone to be there for you there won’t be anyone there who cares about you.
